Adriana Lima
Adriana Lima may have been born in Brazil but she is a lot more ethnicities than just being Brazilian. The Victoria Secret supermodel is of African, West Indian, Japanese, and Portuguese ancestry. Although she won several beauty pageants in elementary school, Lima had no desire to be a model. She submitted photos of herself in a modeling contest with a friend who didn’t want to enter alone. At 15 years old, Lima came in first place in Ford’s “Supermodel of Brazil” model search.
