Adrian Lima’s most significant new client of 1999 was Victoria’s Secret, who brought her on board that year for their annual fashion show and their summer catalog a year later. The company was so taken with the Brazilian beauty that they named her as one of the Victoria’s Secret Angels -- immediately giving her career a boost in modeling credibility and a big payday to go with it. In their efforts to keep pace with the industry’s hot new faces, other companies and designers like Guess?, Vera Wang and Ralph Lauren quickly scooped her up. Automobile giant BMW took a different approach by including the model in Wong Kar-Wai’s The Follow, which costarred Forest Whitaker and Mickey Rourke, and was part of a short film series headlined by Clive Owen.
In 2002 and 2003, Adriana Lima added to her runway repertoire by participating in shows for Christian Dior, Versace and the late Alexander McQueen. A cosmetics deal with Maybelline followed, as did a cover shoot for the March 2003 edition of Elle, but first and foremost Adriana Lima was still an Angel. As a testament to this, she experienced one of her career highlights in a 2004 Victoria’s Secret Super Bowl commercial with Bob Dylan, a project that had her donning wings, heels and -- of course -- lingerie. The ad would be seen by more than 100 million viewers worldwide. Just a year later, Adriana would put her unique stamp on Italy as the face of Telecom Italia Mobile in a campaign that led her to be nicknamed “The Catherine Zeta-Jones of Italy.” Read More...>>>

Adriana Lima’s modeling education started in elementary schools when she would often enter local pageants and come away as the winner. The self-esteem boost that came from winning helped ease the insecurities that resulted from her father’s decision to leave the family when she was only 6 years old. Adriana’s association with beauty pageants continued in high school when she and a friend agreed to enter the same modeling competition. After one of the organizers saw modeling potential in Adriana, she was encouraged to enter the “Supermodel of Brazil” contest that was presented by Ford Models. Adriana did just that, and at 15 years of age, she won the title and moved on to that year’s “Supermodel of the World” competition.

A second place finish in the 1996 “Supermodel of the World” competition assured Adriana Lima that a modeling career was in the cards. She took full advantage of the opportunity by signing a deal with Elite Model Management and heading straight into print, ad and runway work. Adriana’s first runway appearance was for Anna Sui in 1997 within a year, she would already have an ad contract with Anna Molinari and a cover shoot for Marie Claire (Brazil) in the books. In 1999, the young model would continue to develop her runway credentials by wearing the collections of Emanuel Ungaro and Balmain. Read More...>>>

Adriana Lima is one of Brazil’s finest exports. Men know her best as one of the elite Victoria’s Secret Angels, an association that has allowed her to participate in many company events such as ritzy runway shows and popular Super Bowl ads for the past decade. The reach of Adriana Lima’s fame has extended beyond the many pop culture branches of the Victoria’s Secret umbrella, allowing her to experiment with other top-line modeling campaigns, runway appearances and acting projects.

Adriana Lima’s substantial industry power and strong physical appeal have earned her an amount of fame that puts her among the very best in her profession. If today’s Queen Bee model Gisele Bundchen were to glance over her shoulder, she would likely see Adriana Lima looking back from her consistent place as one of today’s five top-earning models. In addition to her financial status, Lima’s high beauty pedigree has earned her nods from the respective “Sexiest Women” and “Most Beautiful People” lists of People and FHM. Read More...>>>
