As a spokeswoman for Victoria's Secret, Guess and Armani, Adriana Lima has become one of the most in-demand runway models in the world. She has also walked the catwalk for designers Vera Wang, Christian Lacroix, Emanuel Ungaro, and Ralph Lauren. When she's not making men throughout the world drool, she's helping Brazilian orphans in her native land and dabbling in acting. It's also rumored that Adriana married NBA player Marko Jaric in a secret ceremony on Valentine's Day in 2009.
Let's face it; it wasn't Adriana Lima's IQ score that caught the attention of Victoria's Secret's talent scouts. That drop-dead gorgeous body of hers seems like a gift from the heavens. Sexy? Most definitely, yes.Her April 2006 GQ cover was the highest-selling issue of the year. She ranked No. 7 on FHM's 100 Sexiest Women 2007 and was chosen as one of People magazine's annual 100 Most Beautiful People in the World in May 2007. In June 2007, she was named the Hottest Girl on the Planet at the first Spike TV Guys' Choice Awards.She was voted AskMen's Most Desirable Woman in 2005, ranked No. 4 in 2006, No. 4 in 2007, and No. 19 in 2008. Despite all the accolades for her sexiness, the devout Catholic has always insisted that she's saving sex for marriage and was even cheekily named "The World's Most Voluptuous Virgin" by GQ. In some messed up way, that makes us all the more interested.
Adriana Francesca Lima was born on June 12, 1981, in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. The blue/gray-eyed Brazilian beauty can attribute her exotic good looks to her French, Portuguese, Native American, and Caribbean heritage.
