A Whitney Houston biopic is finally in the works!

Yaya DaCosta Alafia has come a long way since competing for the winning spot as America's Next Top Model in 2004.

The part Brazilian beauty, who is expecting her first child with husband Joshua Alafia this year, is playing Carol Hammie in the No. 1 box office hit, The Butler.

Alafia's character, Carol, is a student activist who becomes heavily involved in the Civil Rights Movement and eventually joins the Black Panthers -- a challenging role the 30-year-old executed perfectly.

Although she doesn't look a day over 30, the lovely Gina Torres is turning 43 today. And what better way to honor the stunning Cubana than by naming her one of our most beautiful Afro-Latina celebs on the planet!

Gina, we love you, you're beautiful (inside and out) and we're so proud to have you representing for Latinas in Hollywood. 

Without further ado -- and in honor of Gina's cumpleaños-- we proudly present the 20 Most Beautiful Afro-Latinas on the Planet. Happy birthday, Gina!

Each week, we give ourselves the extremely difficult task of sifting through all the photos of our celebrities from the past seven days and attempting to choose just three of what we believe are the hottest beauty looks of the week. Luckily, choosing the winning look is up to you!
