Her father left when she was a baby. She grew up in Salvador, Brazil, raised by her mother — a social worker — in a modest household. As a child, she didn’t dream of runways. She wanted to be a pediatrician.
At 15, she won Supermodel of Brazil. At 16, she moved to New York — alone.
For 19 years she was a Victoria’s Secret Angel — the longest-running in history. Named their most valuable Angel in 2017.
A devout Catholic, she credits her faith for her strength through everything — the pressures, the spotlight, the personal struggles.
She has ancestors from Portugal, Brazil, Africa, Japan and Switzerland — a whole world in one person.
Behind every perfect image — a girl from Salvador who just kept going.
Born on June 12, 1981 — Happy Birthday, Adriana Lima.
