Biography:
The
blue/gray-eyed Brazilian 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 at
the age of 13. Three years later, she headed to one of
the fashion centers of the world, New York, and signed
with Elite Model Management. Once there, her modeling
portfolio 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
also appeared in Vogue (U.S., Germany, UK) and Marie Claire
(Italy) in 1999.
As for fashion shows, the Vogue girl has walked down the
runway for the following designers: Cynthia Rowley, Vera
Wang, Christian Lacroix, Emanuel Ungaro, Betsey Johnson,
Girls Rule, Richard Tyler, Giorgio Armani, Fendi, Randolph
Duke, Ralph Lauren, and Valentino, just to name a few.
But one of Adriana's most notable catwalk appearances
was in the Victoria's Secret summer 2000 swimwear catalog
(shot in Cannes), where the Brazilian beauty shared the
spotlight with a bevy of supermodels such as Heidi Klum
and Laetitia Casta.
Those who have not had the pleasure of seeing Adriana
in a fashion spread may have caught her in advertisements
for Anna Sui Jeans, bebe, Gasoline, Mossimo, BCBG, Keds,
Guess?, and XOXO.
But it's her job as a Victoria's Secret "Angel"
that has fueled her fame the most, especially after appearing
in network television's Victoria's Secret fashion show
in 2001 and 2003. In 2001, she also appeared in the short
film, The Hire: Follow, with Mickey Rourke.
On a personal note, the Maybelline model was engaged to
Lenny Kravitz in the spring of 2002, but they never got
married.
In 2004, Adriana Lima received a lot of press when she
appeared in a Victoria's Secret ad co-starring musician
Bob Dylan, in which she's walking around Venice in nothing
but lingerie, heels and a pair of wings -- it's for Victoria's
Secret's "Angels" collection.
Before her modeling days, Adriana always hoped to help
children and thanks to her newfound 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 Lima's beauty speaks volumes, which
is why Adriana topped AskMen.com's list of the "Top
99 Most Desirable Women" in the world.
