4 Adriana Lima


Known as “the best face in the industry” and “the most in-demand runway model in the world,” Adriana Lima is at the very top of the supermodel food chain. Although she is best-known for her status as one of the sizzling Victoria’s Secret Angels, she is also a spokesmodel for Guess?, XOXO and Armani Jeans. Over the course of her career, she has appeared in dozens of ad campaigns and has graced the pages of innumerable fashion magazines.


After topping AskMen.com’s Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2005 list and sitting comfortably in the No. 4 spot of the 2006 edition, Adriana is back in the top five in 2007. We can’t blame our readers for keeping her there; over the past year, she has become one of the most coveted models in the industry and the third highest-paid model in the world. In fact, she is so famous that she can’t even walk down the street in some countries. “It's insane!” she says. “Some people ask me for my autograph and a picture, but mostly they will follow me around. They follow me into bathrooms!”


As for 2007, Adriana should continue to appear alongside her fellow Angels, including Heidi Klum, Gisele Bundchen and Alessandra Ambrosio, in insanely hot Victoria’s Secret ad campaigns and fashion shows. She’ll also continue to strut her stuff on the world’s runways. But this Brazilian beauty isn’t only concerned with the fashion world. In fact, she continues to help with the expansion of an orphanage in her hometown of Salvador, Brazil. “When I help someone, I lose 0.01% of my ego,” she says.
