Adriana Francesca Lima was born on June 12, 1981 in Salvador, Bahia,
Brazil. At the tender age of 13, Adriana entered the Ford Supermodel of
the World Contest, where her unique beauty, derived from her
Native-Brazilian, African-Brazilian, Portuguese, French, and Caribbean
heritage, won her second place. Moving to New York at age 16, Adriana
joined the Elite Model Management and further pursued her modeling
career, landing a campaign for the fashion designer
Anna Molinari's
clothing line. However, it was her appearance in several Guess?
campaigns that gained her the recognition that catapulted her to her
status as one of the world's top fashion models. Since then, she has
appeared in campaigns for Anna Sui Jeans, Bebe, Gasoline, Mossimo,
Victoria's Secret, BCBG, Keds, and XOXO, and has appeared on the covers
of magazines such as Vogue and Marie Claire. She consistently appears in
the hyped Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows, gaining recognition as one
of the Victoria's Secret's Perfect 10. In her spare time, Adriana
dedicates her services to help orphans in her native Brazil. She has
appeared in the Italian TIM mobile Commercials.
