Tall, rangy and sometimes regal, Michelle Alves is also unusually slender, even for a supermodel. Like Ana Beatriz Barros, Gisele Bundchen and Adriana Lima, she hails from Brazil. She has appeared internationally on the covers of Vogue, Marie Claire, and Esquire, among other fashion magazines, and is a regular in ads for Valentino fashions. Alves has also appeared on the annual televised Victoria's Secret fashion show.
