Big Brother 24 winner Taylor Hale decided to pose for Playboy. She is Miss March 2026 for the magazine.
Taylor appeared during the Summer 2022 season. That season, she was also named America’s Favorite Player.
Members of the BB24 cast included runner-up Monte Taylor, Matt Turner, Alyssa Snider, Michael Bruner, Joseph Abdin, and many others.
Taylor later returned for Big Brother: Reindeer Games, where Nicole Franzel became the first two-time Big Brother winner. She also appeared on The Amazing Race with her then-boyfriend, Kyland Young.
Taylor Hale from Big Brother 24 poses for Playboy
“Hi, I’m Miss March, Taylor Hale, and this is why I shot for Playboy,” Taylor states in a new video.
“I said yes to living inside a house where cameras watched me 24 hours a day. Microphones dangled above my head as I slept while being observed. It was explicit and contractual. But even there, the psychological boundaries of consent were more fraught than they appeared,” Taylor shared.
“There is a difference between agreeing to be observed and being consumed. Technically, I consented to being filmed. Technically, I agreed to the possibility that anything could be seen. And when I left that house, I said “yes” again to a career that depends on being seen,” Taylor elaborated.
Later in the video, Taylor speaks about how she shot with Playboy to be an “active participant” and assume “her power” in the process. She called it an “opportunity for reclamation” of herself.

“Introducing Miss March 2026: Taylor Hale, best known as the first Black woman to win Big Brother—and has had an impressive TV career ever since,” reads an Instagram post shared by Playboy and Taylor Hale.
“But after her Big Brother win, Hale realized that images of her naked body—screenshots extracted from the show’s live feed—were shared all over social media. That’s why she’s here, baring it all for Playboy: ‘this is an act of reclamation,’ she writes in the essay that accompanies her pictorial,” the captioned continued.
