MiniBio

Adriana Lima, known for her stunning looks and captivating presence, has been a household name in the fashion world since she was just 15 years old. That’s when Adriana Lima first made headlines by winning the title of “Supermodel of Brazil,” launching what would become an extraordinary international career. Born Adriana Francesca Lima on June 12, 1981, in Salvador, Brazil, her unique beauty stems from a rich blend of Native-Brazilian, African-Brazilian, Portuguese, French, and Caribbean ancestry—giving Adriana Lima a look that stands out on any runway.

She began modeling as a teenager, quickly rising through the ranks by entering local competitions before claiming victory in 1996’s “Supermodel of Brazil” contest. This win opened doors, and soon after signing with Elite Model Management in New York City, Adriana Lima landed a high-profile campaign with GUESS in 1999. That same year, she walked for major designers like Valentino, Giorgio Armani, and Vera Wang—solidifying her status in the elite fashion scene.

Also in 1999, Adriana Lima stepped onto the Victoria’s Secret runway for the first time, sharing the spotlight with fellow Brazilian star Gisele Bündchen. The impact was immediate. Their combined charisma and beauty turned heads worldwide, leading Victoria’s Secret to elevate both models to Angel status. From there, Adriana Lima became a fixture in their ad campaigns and a highlight of the brand’s annual fashion spectaculars.

One of the most memorable moments in Adriana Lima’s career came in 2008, when a Victoria’s Secret commercial featuring her aired during Super Bowl XLII on Fox. Watched by over 103 million people, it became the most-viewed ad of the event—a true testament to Adriana Lima’s widespread appeal.

On a personal note, the following year brought big changes as Adriana Lima married professional basketball player Marko Jaric. Beyond the catwalk, she stayed active in entertainment, making fun cameos on popular TV shows like Ugly Betty and How I Met Your Mother. At the same time, Adriana Lima remained deeply committed to giving back, supporting charitable causes in her hometown and beyond.

By 2012, her influence and earnings reflected her superstar status. Forbes ranked Adriana Lima fourth on its list of highest-paid models, reporting an impressive $7.3 million in annual income. Through hard work, dedication, and undeniable talent, Adriana Lima has not only maintained her place at the top but also redefined what it means to be a global supermodel.

Trivia
