“Beyond the Gates” Star Announces Role in Iconic Magazine’s Revamped Model Search

Daphnée Duplaix Named Judge For 2026 Playboy Playmate Search

Actress and model Daphnée Duplaix is stepping into a new spotlight — as an official judge for the 2026 Great Playboy Playmate Search. The Beyond the Gates star took to Instagram to share the news with fans, calling the opportunity an “honor” and a “full-circle moment” in her journey.

“🐰 It’s official~ I am so honored and excited to announce that I’ve been chosen as an official judge for the 2026 Great Playboy Playmate search,” Duplaix wrote.

With Playboy magazine undergoing a bold resurgence, this nationwide search aims to find the next generation of Playmates — confident, radiant women ready to embrace the iconic brand’s legacy while ushering in a new era of beauty and empowerment.

The 2026 search offers a rare opportunity for aspiring models. The winner will receive a $25,000 cash prize and may be featured in the Spring 2026 print issue, including a chance to appear on the non-nude inside cover.

Duplaix encouraged hopefuls to apply through the official site and use her unique referral code, PLAYL054, so she can follow their journeys personally. The deadline to register is September 30, 2025.

“If you’ve ever dreamed of becoming a Playboy Playmate of the Month… this is your moment,” she added. “Let’s make this your glow-up era. I can’t wait to see your stunning faces and powerful energy. Let’s make history together!”

This announcement marks another major milestone for Duplaix, whose career has spanned modeling, acting, and now, mentorship. A former Playboy Playmate herself — Miss July 1997 — her return to the brand in a leadership role speaks to both her legacy and the magazine’s evolving mission.

For more details and to apply, fans are directed to the link in her Instagram bio.
