Looks like just two light:
1 x Strobe with a grid and snoot for the back lighting
1x softbox for main fill light to the upper left or directly infront of model depending on image.
Or do you think this can be achieved with just one softbox?

what you think? any help will be appreciated! I'm new to lighting so go easy on me HAHA.
thanks in advance

It appears to me these were done with a mediumm size beauty dish (such as a 22") located slightly above and to right of camera or perhaps an open strobe with grid. Shadows look a bit too sharp for a softbox IMO, but I'll be interested to see what others think as well. :)

thanks Slivr, anyone else?
WOuldn't one light source cast shadows on her face, but i think the light source is near dead on, slight right or left of model depending on the pic.

I think you two nailed it. I wanted to say ring flash; however there is a slight directionality to the light as you pointed out. Only thing I may add is that there is likely a grid on the light and it's height is just at, or a couple of inches above here eye level.
