Born: 12 June 1981

Best known as: Super-slender Guess clothing model
Skinny and sultry, Adriana Lima has been modelling since 1994, first in Brazil and later in New York City and Europe. Like her countrywoman Gisele Bundchen, Lima gained fame after posing in Guess clothing ads; also like Bundchen, Lima is perhaps most famous for her appearances with Victoria's Secret. (She appeared dressed as an angel in the company's 2000 fashion show and has been a featured regular ever since). Lima had a role in The Follow, one of the popular online short films created by BMW in 2001; she played the beautiful young wife tailed by BMW driver Clive Owen.
Extra credit: Lima is 5'10" tall and of "French, Portuguese, Native American and Caribbean descent," according to the CBS website for the 2007 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show... Other models who have posed for Guess include Anna Nicole Smith, James King and Ingrid Seynhaeve.
