Biography

Adriana Lima was born on June 12, 1981, in the vibrant city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, a country renowned for its rich cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty. This Brazilian model's journey to stardom began at a tender age, when she won Ford's "Supermodel of Brazil" competition at just 15 years old, and subsequently took second place in the Ford "Supermodel of the World" competition the following year.

Lima's remarkable career has spanned over two decades, during which she has been a Victoria's Secret Angel from 1999 to 2018, earning the distinction of being the longest-running model in the brand's history. She has also been named "the most valuable Victoria's Secret Angel" in 2017, a testament to her enduring popularity and influence in the fashion world.

As a spokesmodel, Lima has represented several prominent brands, including Maybelline cosmetics since 2003, and has appeared in numerous high-profile commercials, including those for Super Bowl and Kia Motors. Her impressive portfolio has earned her a spot among the top five highest-earning models in the world, as ranked by Forbes, and in 2006, she even made it to the prestigious Forbes Celebrity 100 list, ranking No.99.

Lima's talent extends beyond the catwalk, as she has made a successful transition to acting. Her acting debut came in 2001, when she appeared alongside Mickey Rourke and Forest Whitaker in the short film The Follow, a part of BMW's series The Hire, opposite Clive Owen and directed by the acclaimed Wong Kar-wai.

She has since appeared in several television shows, including a guest spot on the CBS comedy series How I Met Your Mother in 2007, where she played herself, and a recurring role on the series The Crazy Ones alongside Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar in 2013. Lima has also made appearances on the American television series Ugly Betty in 2008, where she played herself and formed a bond with the show's title character, Betty Suarez.

In 2018, Lima made a cameo appearance as herself in the film Ocean's 8, further cementing her status as a beloved and enduring figure in the entertainment industry. Throughout her illustrious career, Lima has been recognized for her hard work and dedication, and her contributions to the world of fashion and entertainment have been widely acknowledged.
