Mini Biography

Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima was born in 1982, in Salvador, Brazil. The blue/gray-eyed beauty can attribute her exotic good looks to her French, Portuguese, Native-American, and Caribbean heritage. Lima was discovered at a mall when she was just 13 years old. Two years later she received a first place award in a "Ford Supermodel of Brazil" model search.

Today this Brazilian supermodel is largely recognized as the face of Victoria's Secret. Since her rise to fame, Lima is often cited by popular media as one of the world's sexiest women. She ranked 7th on FHM 100 Sexiest Women of 2007 and was chosen as one of People Magazine's annual 100 Most Beautiful People in the World, in May 2007.
