Nicoleta Macarencu by Adrian Stoicoviciu for Playboy Romania

Nicoleta Macarencu has got quite the résumé. Winner of the Miss Bikini World competition in 2007, Nicoleta is also a two-time Playboy model with editions in several countries, including her home country of Romania. Hailing from Tulcea, a waterfront city, she’s always been focused on success. “I’m very curious by nature,” says Nicoleta. “I cannot know how the public perceives me, but I want to make beautiful pictures, built through hard work.” An admirable goal if there ever was one.
