Adriana Lima was born in 1982, in Salvador, Brazil. The blue/gray-eyed beauty can attribute her exotic good looks to her French, Portuguese, Native-American, and Caribbean heritage. Her climb from obscurity to glam girl occurred after placing second in the Ford Supermodel of the World Contest (after having won the 1996 Ford Supermodel of Brazil Contest). Adriana signed with Elite Model Management at the age of 16, and moved to one of the fashion centers of the world, New York. Once there, her modeling portfolio only began to expand exponentially, after appearing in Vogue (Italy) in 1997, as well as Vogue (UK), I-D (UK), Marie Claire (Brazil), and Vogue (Italy) in 1998. Adriana has also appeared in Vogue (US, Germany, UK), and Marie Claire (Italy) all in 1999 But one of Adriana's most
notable catwalk appearances was in the Victoria's Secret Summer 2000 Swimwear
Catalogue (shot in Cannes), where the Brazilian beauty shared the spotlight
with a bevy of supermodels such as Heidi Klum and Laetitia Casta. Before
her modeling days, Adriana always hoped to help children, and thanks to
her new found popularity, she is able to work with orphans in Brazil.
Whether you have seen her in an ad, on the runway, or photographed by
some of the world's greatest photographers -- such as Steven Meisel, Peter
Lindbergh or Ellen von Unwerth -- Adriana's beauty speaks volumes.
