"Since I learned English, I've become a motormouth!"
Ana Beatriz Barros was born in Itabira, a tiny town in Brazil, on
May 29, 1982.
Ana was raised in the cosmopolitan Rio de Janeiro after her family moved there.
The hazel-eyed statuesque beauty was discovered by the
Director of Elite Model Management, while vacationing in Brazil.
It didn't take much for him to see that she was absolute model material,
and he encouraged her to enter the Elite Look of the Year contest.
In 1996, Ana placed first in the Brazilian
Elite Look of the Year, and second in the
International level of the same contest, that same year. With a national
Elite Look of the Year championship
and a modeling contract with the agency, Ana was ready for the big leagues: in this case,
Guess.
Once Paul Marciano.. received Ana's impressive
portfolio on behalf of Elite,
he knew he had a new Guess? girl on his hands.
Ana's beauty cannot only be seen in the Guess?
Hawaii campaign, but also in international
advertisements for Onyx in Italy.
Head & Shoulders and Chanel make-up.
Ana has graced the covers of
Capricho Brazil, Nova and 20 Ans France, and has appeared in magazines such as
Elle Brazil,
Claudia Brazil, Allure US, Woman Spain, and
Audi Brazil.
Ana's love for diverse cultures and languages contributes to her desire to be a model, and that's a good
thing since she is constantly living the jetsetter life of a runway and print model. The fashion shows in which
Ana has appeared include Balmain,
Christian Dior,
Christian Lacroix,
Jean Paul Gaultier, Paco Rabbane,
Valentino, and Lolita Lempicka!
Currently with
Elite Model Management in
Paris and
Brazil, and
IMG in
New York,
Ana will definitely get her chance to travel the world.
When she's not busy modeling, she enjoys spending her time going to the movies, hanging out with her friends, listening to music
especially
Lenny Kravitz, swimming, playing volleyball, and reading.
