Birth Place: Salvador da Bahia, Brazil
Occupation: Model
Adriana Francesca
Lima was born on June 12, 1981, in Salvador
da Bahia, Brazil. 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.
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.
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.
The 25-year-old Brazilian model boasts three
significant long-term contracts--Victoria's
Secret, Maybelline and Telecom Italia Mobile,
Italy's mega-cellphone carrier. The former girlfriend
of rocker Lenny Kravitz is now reportedly dating
Prince Wence of Lichtenstein, heir to a royal
fortune Forbes estimates at $4 billion.
