Biography
For most men, resisting a longhaired and gorgeous woman with a 'Perfect 10' figure is not just difficult but irresistible. Adriana Lima is not only famous as one of the most well known models for Victoria's Secrets, but she is also the spokesperson for Armani Jeans. It's a difficult choice to make whether we like to see her in sexy lingerie or a perfect pair of well fitting jeans sitting smugly on a perfect pair of long legs with a great butt!
And aside from being the spokesperson for Victoria's Secret, Guess?, Armani Jeans and XOXO, she is a much sought after model on the catwalk, internationally. Whatever spare time Adriana gets, she spends helping the orphans in Brazil (a cause close to her heart) and acting on TV or movies.
Adriana may have become a supermodel by chance, but its no secret that she has been strutting her stuff for fashion designers and magazines, while being watched by millions not just in Paris, Milan and New York but across the world. She seems to have taken all the celebrity and fame in her stride.
Born Adriana Francesca Lima in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil on 12th June 1981, this blue/gray-eyed brunette attributes her exotic and captivating looks to her Native-American, French, Portuguese, and Caribbean heritage.
The Ford Supermodel of the World Contest (1996) is responsible for Adriana's climb from obscurity to glamour. She participated in this pageant at the age of 13, and came second. And, within three years, she was headed to New York, one of the mega fashion capitals of the world, where she was snapped by Elite Model Management. Soon, Adriana was everywhere from Vogue (Italy) to Marie Claire (Brazil) in 1997/98. She also walked the ramp for designers such as Cynthia Rowley, Vera Wang, Christian Lacroix, Girls Rule, Richard Tyler, Giorgio Armani, Fendi, Randolph Duke, Ralph Lauren, and Valentino, to name just a few.
Adriana's first mega break came when she featured in a Vassarette billboard in Times Square, New York. In 2000, she became the next Guess? Girl and made successful forays in print. But, the most notable runway appearances made by Adriana was in the Victoria's Secret Summer 2000 swimwear catalogue which was shot in Cannes, and where she shared the spotlight with other supermodels such as Heidi Klum, and Laetitia Casta.
In 2003, she was ranked #57 in Maxim's Hot 100. Perhaps her job as Victoria's Secret model had something to do with this, especially since she appeared in this lingerie company's fashions shows in 2001/2003. In 2001, she also acted in a short 8-9 minute film, 'The Hire: Follow', with Mickey Rourke and Owen Wilson.
Currently, Adriana Lima is the 3rd highest paid model in the world after Gisele Bundchen and Kate Moss.
Adriana, dated singer Lenny Kravitz in 2002, but they didn't get married. She is dating Denny, currently.
So whether you see this leggy beauty (5feet 10inches) in a print ad, on the runway, in lingerie or fully covered, Adriana's beauty has a language of its own, which is why she topped the 'Top 99 Most Desirable Women' in the world by AskMen.com.
