"Modeling is a tough job, your co-workers are your rivals, it really puts a damper on your perspective of other girls."

Date of Birth: June 12, 1981
Birthplace: Salvador da Bahia, Brazil
What makes her so Famous?
Not only is Adriana Lima considered one of Victoria's Secret's "Perfect 10" models, but as a spokesperson for Armani Jeans, we're not sure whether we'd rather see her in lingerie or jeans... tough call, ain't it?
Why we adore her..., as we do?
As a spokeswoman for Victoria's Secret, Guess?, Armani, and XOXO, she has become one of the most in-demand runway models in the world. When she's not making men worldwide drool, she's helping Brazilian orphans in her native land and dabbling in acting.
Biography
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.
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.
