Adrijana Lima as the Victoria’s Secret Angel

Lima was discovered while shopping at a local mall at the age of 13. When Lima was 15 years old, she entered and finished in first place in Brazil’s Ford Supermodel of the World Search. She subsequently entered the 1996 Ford Supermodel of the World contest and finished second place. Three years later, she moved toNew York City, and signed with Elite Model Management. Lima’s modeling portfolio began to expand exponentially, appearing 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, Valentino, among others.

Lima is fluent in three languages—Portuguese, Spanish and English. In her free time, she loves reading a novel by her favorite author, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Lima has admitted that she was shy around boys when she was younger. She got her first kiss at 17 years old. In an interview with GQ April 2006 issue, Lima told the magazine that she is a virgin. “Sex is for after marriage,” she says. “They have to respect that this is my choice. If there’s no respect, that means they don’t want me.”

Despite reports, Lima denied ever being engaged to rocker Lenny Kravitz and said that she and Kravitz are just friends. She has also been romantically linked to other celebrities in the past, includingNew York Yankees superstar, Derek Jeter and Prince Wenzeslaus of Liechtenstein.

   Likewise I have to mention some thing related to that. she can be the most good-looking female on the planet. adriana lima appears to be rather comfortable every one of the occasions. Really pretty still stylish. Definitely likely the most important cause the reason i like her so a lot. One more factor is her wild hair this seems magnificent .
