She began flaunting her toned body for Victoria’s Secret lingerie in 1999 and became an Angel in 2000. She has opened the show numerous times and has had the honor of wearing the luxurious Fantasy Bra twice. But there’s so much about Adriana Lima that still remains unknown to many. Here are 10 interesting facts you probably didn’t know.
10. She Didn’t Always Want To Become A Model
As a young child, Adriana did not like to be photographed. Though she won a few beauty pageants, she didn’t seriously think of becoming a model. However, when Adriana was 14, a friend had asked her to enter Ford’s “Supermodel of Brazil” competition with her because she was too nervous to enter alone. Lima ended up winning the competition at the age of 15 and also ended up entering the “Supermodel of the World” competition, in which she won second place. This seems to have been the turning point in Adriana’s life and steered her in the direction of modeling as a career. Just three years later, Adriana would pack her bags and head to the city where dreams come true to sign with Elite modeling and eventually launch into supermodel stardom.
