Maria Ryabushkina Bio
Maria Ryabushkina is a Russian Webcam performer, actress, blogger, fashion and adult model. She was born on August 26, 1990, in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and has also been credited as Melena Maria Rya, Melena Maria, and Melena Tara. She appeared in an international edition of Playboy in October 2017 at 27. Her appearance came during Playboy's contemporary era of international and digital publishing.
Ryabushkina has natural breasts, brown eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 35-25-35.
Maria Ryabushkina began working as a webcam model in 2008 before moving into professional glamour and artistic nude modeling. Over the years, she developed an extensive international portfolio, working with studios and publications including Femjoy, Met-Art, Twistys, Hegre Art, Nubiles, SexArt, Amour Angels, MPL Studios and Watch4Beauty.
That breadth of work made Ryabushkina an experienced model long before Playboy entered the picture. Her first shoot for Playboy Plus came in October 2017, bringing her established photographic style to the magazine’s international digital audience. She subsequently returned to work with Playboy Plus in 2018 and 2019, turning the initial collaboration into a continuing association.
Ryabushkina described herself to Playboy as outgoing, friendly and intensely curious about the world around her. “I’m interested in everything in the world, and I love all people,” she said. It was a simple statement that suited a career spent working with different photographers, studios and publications across the international modeling business.
Her portfolio also extended beyond Playboy. Ryabushkina appeared on the cover of Maxim Mexico and was featured by Maxim Czech Republic, adding two more international magazine editions to her credits. Years later, she moved into another area of fashion when she appeared on the runway during Paris Fashion Week in 2023.
That runway appearance demonstrated the longevity and range of a career that had begun fifteen years earlier. Ryabushkina walked in Naz Maer’s Ready-to-Wear Spring/Summer 2024 show, placing her in a very different setting from the photographic work for which she was best known. From her early modeling years and international magazine features to repeated Playboy Plus appearances and a Paris runway, Ryabushkina has continued to move between different corners of the modeling world.
