Adriana lima may not have wanted to be a supermodel when she was growing up, but lo and behold, she's strutting her stuff for magazines and fashion shows seen by millions. Paris, Milan and New York are very different from her hometown of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, but adriana lima, with her diamond eyes, seems to take it all in stride -- besides, her worldwide travels are great excuses to shop.
It's hard to believe that she was born in 1981 (when Duran Duran was in, imagine). adriana lima has already landed major campaigns for Guess?, Victoria's Secret, Maybelline, and BCBG. Still, it shouldn't be so surprising, after all, we've been experiencing an incredible Brazilian invasion of models like Gisele Bundchen , Ana Beatriz Barros and Alessandra Ambrosio for years now.
Adriana lima has a strong support system, which helps eliminate any homesickness she might feel while being so far from her home at such a young age.
Despite her good looks, she is still pretty young and displays a girlish charm that makes her seem innocent.
She still giggles and gets shy around people, which is strange considering she's from the least shy country of the world: Brazil. Don't be fooled by her womanly assets; adriana lima is still a simple girl who craves Japanese food at midnight (true story).
Let's face it; it wasn't adriana lima's IQ score that caught the attention of Victoria's Secret's talent scouts. That drop-dead gorgeous body of hers seems like a gift from the heavens. Sexy? Most definitely, yes.
Three years after taking second place at the Ford Supermodel of the World Contest in Brazil at the tender age of 13, adriana lima decided to move to the Big Apple to see if she could conquer the modeling world. And it wasn't hard for the exotic beauty. She signed on as an Elite model , and soon enough she was gracing covers of magazines like Vogue , Marie Claire and Harper's Bazaar .
With high-profile campaigns for companies like Guess?, Armani, Anna Sui Jeans, bebe, Gasoline, Mossimo, BCBG, and XOXO, it wasn't long before adriana lima's face and body were plastered on billboards and in print ads. But no campaign would bring her the recognition she received as a Victoria's Secret model.
