Dacia Maria Bio
Dacia Maria is an American Adult model and porn actress. She was born on July 7, 1995, in Las Vegas, Nevada, and has also been credited as Addison Ryder and Davina Davis. She appeared in Playboy in October 2016 at 21, bringing an established adult-entertainment career to the feature. Her appearance came during Playboy's contemporary era of international and digital publishing.
Maria has natural breasts, hazel eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 34-25-35.
Maria began modeling at nineteen and built substantial experience before Playboy ever entered the picture. She worked for major clothing companies and posed for more than 300 photographers, developing the kind of camera familiarity that made the transition into glamour work feel natural. Her background was rooted in conventional modeling rather than adult entertainment, which gave her October 2016 Playboy Plus debut the character of a genuine career expansion rather than simply another assignment.
Playboy discovered her through Instagram, a very 2010s route into the brand and a sign of how dramatically model scouting had changed by that point. Instead of relying only on casting calls or agency submissions, Playboy Plus was increasingly finding women through social media and digital portfolios. For Maria, that online discovery led directly to her first nude shoot for Playboy Plus in October 2016 and introduced her to an audience far beyond the fashion and photography circles she already knew.
Her Playboy profile leaned heavily into personality and lifestyle. Coming from a small town in Rhode Island, she described herself as active, outdoorsy and happiest when she was moving. Surfing, hiking with her dogs and spending time at the beach were all part of her routine, while her background in gymnastics fed naturally into another passion: aerial silks. That athletic side gave her public image more dimension than a conventional studio-model persona and helped Playboy present her as energetic and approachable.
She also arrived at Playboy with a clear sense of what she wanted from the experience. Maria spoke enthusiastically about growing her fanbase and was openly excited by the opportunity to connect with Playboy Plus readers through comments and future shoots. Her reaction to the feature was simple and direct: she had enjoyed the experience and hoped to return. That eagerness suited the interactive, online-first culture Playboy Plus was cultivating at the time.
Dacia Maria’s October 2016 appearance stands as a particularly clear example of Playboy’s social-media-era discovery model. Years of mainstream modeling gave her professional polish, Instagram brought her to Playboy’s attention, and Playboy Plus gave her a new platform built around personality as much as photography. The result was a feature that felt distinctly contemporary for its moment: digital, direct, lifestyle-driven and shaped by a model who was already comfortable building her own audience.
