Adriana Lima, 12

Since her rise to fame, Lima is often cited by popular media as one of the world's sexiest women. She ranked 7th on FHM "100 Sexiest Women 2007" On June 13, 2007, she was awarded as "Hottest Girl on the Planet" at the first Spike TV Guys' Choice Awards but the category was not mentioned in the actual show. Lima was also voted on the Maxim "Hot 100" 2007 at the #53 spot. She was voted #1 as the Most Desirable Woman in 2005 by visitors of the men's lifestyle website, Askmen.com (she placed 4th in 2006 and 2007, 10th in 2008, and 19th in 2009). Lima is also listed in the 2009 Guinness Book of World Records as the Youngest Model on Forbes Celebrity 100 List. As of November 2008, Models.com featured her at No.1 on the list of the hottest models today.

Sexiness

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.

Success

Adriana Lima may not have wanted to be a supermodel when she was growing up, but lo and behold, she's strutting her stuff for magazines and fashion shows that are seen by millions. Paris, Milan and New York are very different from her hometown of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, but Adriana seems to take it all in stride.

Adriana Lima has landed major campaigns for GUESS, Victoria's Secret, Maybelline, and Fendi. Still, it shouldn't be that surprising; after all, we've been experiencing an incredible Brazilian invasion of models like Gisele Bundchen, Ana Beatriz Barros and Alessandra Ambrosio for years now.
