Adriana Lima

Adriana Francesca Lima (born June 12, 1981[3]) is a Brazilian model best known as a Victoria's Secret Angel since 2000 and a spokesmodel for Maybelline cosmetics. At age 15, Lima finished first place in Ford's "Supermodel of Brazil" competition, and took second place the following year in the Ford "Supermodel of the World" competition before signing with Elite Model Management in New York City.

[edit] Modeling career
Lima never thought about being a model. However, she had a friend at school who wanted to enter a modeling contest and didn't want to enter alone, so Lima entered with her. Both sent in pictures, and the contest sponsor soon asked Lima to come out for the competition.[9] Soon after, at the age of 15, she entered and finished in first place in Ford's "Supermodel of Brazil" model search. She subsequently entered the 1996 Ford "Supermodel of the World" contest and finished in second place.[10] Three years later, Lima moved to New York City and signed with Elite Model Management. After acquiring representation, Lima's modeling portfolio began to expand by leaps and bounds, and she appeared in numerous international editions of Vogue and Marie Claire. As for fashion shows, she has walked the catwalks for big-name designers such as Vera Wang, Christian Lacroix, Emanuel Ungaro, Giorgio Armani, Fendi, Ralph Lauren and Valentino, among others. Lima then became a GUESS? girl, appearing in their Fall 2000 ad campaign. She also appeared in the book A second decade of Guess? Images.[11]

Lima continued to build upon her portfolio, doing more print work for Maybelline, as well as bebe, Mossimo, Armani, Bulgari, De Beers, Bleep, Intimissimi, Keds, Swatch, Versace, and BCBG.[12] She also appeared on the covers and in the editorials of other fashion magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, ELLE, Vogue, GQ, Marie Claire, Arena, Cosmopolitan, Esquire, and many more.[13] Her April 2006 GQ cover was the highest-selling issue that magazine for the year.[14] She also appeared in the 2005 Pirelli Calendar[11] and became the face of Italy's cell phone carrier, Telecom Italia Mobile, a move that earned her the nickname, "the Catherine Zeta-Jones of Italy."[15]

In February 2008 she was featured on the cover of Esquire magazine, re-creating the classic 1966 Angie Dickinson cover on Esquire's 75th anniversary along with fellow Victoria's Secret Angels Karolina Kurkova, Izabel Goulart and Selita Ebanks. Model.com featured her at No.3 on the list of the hottest models today. She graced the cover of GQ Magazine April 2008 issue (which brought a record number of web hits for GQ online[citation needed]) and appeared only in shoes, diamonds and gloves for the November 2007 issue of Vanity Fair celebrating 20 years of supermodels with her fellow Angels. Lima was chosen to be a part of People magazine's 100 most beautiful people in the world, sharing that space with her fellow Angels, with whom she also received a star on the Hollywood "Walk of Fame" prior to the 2007 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. In February 2008 she was chosen to be the face of Mexico's Liverpool department store chain and launched the partnership with a press conference, runway show, and summer campaign.


[edit] Victoria's Secret
Lima is probably best known for her work with Victoria's Secret, beginning in 1998. Her first fashion show for the company came a year later, and since being contracted as an Angel in 2000, she has appeared on subsequent shows ever since, with her most notable walk in 2003 as the show opener. Lima has appeared on several television ads for the brand, including the praised and criticized[16][17] "Angel in Venice" commercial of 2003 with Bob Dylan and her solo Victoria's Secret's Super Bowl XLII ad, the single most-seen ad of the game, watched by 103.7 million viewers.[18] 2008 continued for Lima with hosting the "What Is Sexy?" program for the E! Entertainment Network and a July tour for the BioFit Uplift Bra launch, with stops in Long Island, Boston, and Miami Beach. She will also be the face of the famous Miracle Bra[19][20] scheduled to launch in November. To top the year off, Lima will wear the "Fantasy Bra" for the 2008 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show,[21] In early 2008 Lima renewed her contract with Victoria's Secret, along with Maybelline for 5 more years.[22]


[edit] Acting
Lima has always had an interest in acting, but knows she has to study quite a bit before booking any major spots. She plans to take lessons and act full time after her modeling contracts are up, several years from now.

Her first acting role was the wife, alongside Mickey Rourke, Forest Whitaker in The Follow, one of BMW's short films series titled The Hire, starring Clive Owen.

Lima appeared with her fellow angels in a guest spot playing herself in the series How I Met Your Mother in November 2007.

In 2008, Lima made her second television acting appearance, appearing on the American television series "Ugly Betty," where she played herself and made friends with the series' title character, played by America Ferrera. According to her publicist, Liza Anderson, "Adriana has always been a huge fan of Ugly Betty and is thrilled for the opportunity to make a guest star appearance."[23]


[edit] Endorsements
Lima is also a spokesperson for cosmetics giant Maybelline New York.[24] She is the world's fourth highest paid model as of 2007.[14][15][25][26]

Lima is fluent in Portuguese, English, and French, and also speaks a bit of Italian. In her free time, she loves reading novels. Although she has appeared in a few commercials with cars, she has admitted that she has yet to learn how to drive and receive her driver's license.[27]

Lima was shy around boys when she was younger, not receiving her first kiss until she was 17 years old. They were watching a movie during the kiss. Afterwards, he went directly to her mother to ask if he could marry her. In an interview with GQ in the April 2006 issue, Lima told the magazine that she is a devoted Catholic who attends church every Sunday and is a virgin. "Sex is for after marriage," she explained. "They [men] have to respect that this is my choice. If there's no respect, that means they don't want me." US GQ dubbed her as "The World's Most Voluptuous Virgin."When she was younger, she studied to become a nun and often takes a Bible backstage to read.

She works out regularly. She jumps rope, does cardio, and has a custom-tailored boxing routine.Although she admits to eating healthfully and in the past being on low carb diets, her weakness is meat.

She has been romantically linked to rocker Lenny Kravitz, Prince Wenzeslaus of Liechtenstein,and Denny of Timbalada. She is currently engaged to Serbian basketball player Marko Jarić of the NBA Memphis Grizzlies; they will wed in Brazil in June of 2009.Lima says that she wishes to have four children some day.

Lima enjoys listening to classical music; she cites Beethoven as her favorite composer and the piano sonata as her favorite sound. She also enjoys watching black and white films, and cites Bettie Page, Marilyn Monroe, and Sophia Loren as inspirations.
