Ever wondered how a girl from a humble background could conquer the world of high fashion? Adriana Lima's story is a testament to unwavering ambition, turning a local discovery into a global phenomenon.

Born on June 12, 1981, in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, Adriana Limas journey began far from the glittering runways of Paris and New York. Her parents, Nelson Torres, a carpenter, and Maria da Graa Lima, a social worker, provided a modest upbringing. However, her father's absence during her formative years placed a significant burden on her mother, who raised her single-handedly. This early experience instilled in Lima a sense of resilience and determination that would later define her career.
