After winning hearts with her portrayal of pop icon Whitney Houston in Lifetime’s top-rated biopic ‘Whitney,’ Yaya Da Costa, former ‘America’s Next Top Model’ finalist, continues to take to the camera to tribute her favorite legends.
In a stunning collection of snaps that sees her ode the likes of Meryl Streep, Naomi Campbell, Lucille Ball, Eartha Kitt, and more, the budding actress takes a page from each of the diva’s most memorable shots.
Does she do them justice? You tell us:

You guys are like 2 weeks behind with these pics lol… but yeah she nailed each one.

Naomi Campbell is the MJ of model world.

YASSSSS!!! YAYA DACOSTA!!! Simply gorge
Yes!!!! Yay a was ready for her photo op
Stepped in the light for her perfect close up
She was superficial, like it was her one shot and
Unleash the diva deep inside
“Let’s get glam, don’t let the clothes wear you
Let’s get glam, it’s all in how you move
Let’s get glam, don’t let the clothes wear you
Let’s get glam, it’s all an attitude!”
Now Snap!!
But why though? Is she only good for reenacting and recreating what’s already been done by others?
The pics are gorgeous. However, I don’t think she did Eartha or Pam justice. She didn’t have the same umph as they did. I’d give the shoot an A- for effort though.
