Adriana Francesca Lima (born June 12, 1981) is a Brazilian model, best known as a Victoria’s Secret Angel since 2000, and as a spokesmodel for Maybelline cosmetics from 2003 to 2009. At age 15, Lima finished first 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.
Lima never thought about being a model, although she had won many beauty pageants in elementary school. 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. 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. Three years later, Lima moved to New York City and signed with Elite Model Management. After acquiring representation, Lima’s modeling portfolio quickly began to expand, and she appeared in numerous international editions of Vogue and Marie Claire. As a runway model, she has walked the catwalks for designers such as Vera Wang, Christian Lacroix, Emanuel Ungaro, Giorgio Armani, Fendi, Ralph Lauren and Valentino, among others.
Lima became a Guess? girl in 2000, appearing in that year’s fall ad campaign. She also appeared in the book A Second Decade of Guess? Images. -Wikipedia

Why we think she’s hot:
Adriana Francesca Lima was born on June 12, 1981 in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. At the age of 13, Adriana entered a Ford Supermodel of the World Contest… and came in second. Seeing as how she has been widely considered one of the sexiest women on Earth for the better part of a decade, we simply cannot imagine who could have been hanging around in Brazil back in 1994, to knock her out of first. Sultry, smokey, perfection-in-the-imperfections – no matter how you describe her, Lima transcends the mere pages of your latest lingerie catalog. She has become more than just a hot model, or even a supermodel. Truth be told, she is both a household name and nothing less than an icon of the 21st Century . When you think of Victoria’s Secret, you think of Lima. And when you think of Lima… well, you already know the answer to that.
