"I love all underwear," says Brazilian Lais Ribeiro. "It depends on my mood. If I want to feel sexy, I go for something transparent or lace. I love dark colors in winter, like burgundy or black, but in summer I prefer pink or light blue. "
Ribeiro, the daughter of a Portuguese teacher and a public official, began to parade in 2009, in 2010 modeled for the first time for Victoria's Secret (of course, not in the main event) and in 2011 (with only 21 years) she became the most requested model of her generation (with more than 50 shows during the season), since then her career has not stopped.
Despite the fact that when she started her internationalization she was already a mother and barely spoke English, she has marched for brands such as Gucci, Christian Dior, Hermés, Galliano, Versace, Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, Balmain, Donna Karan, Carolina Herrera , Jean Paul Gaultier and Kenzo.
The place that he likes the most in his country are the beaches of Trancoso, in Salvador de Bahía. "It's one of the most magical places I've ever known," he says. However, she was born and raised in Teresina, a rural area in northern Brazil, where she began the journey that would lead her to join the group of Brazilians that seems to be taking the world of fashion (Adriana Lima, Gisele Bündchen, Raquel Zimmerman, Isabeli Fontana, Izabel Goulart and Alessandra Ambrosio, just to name a few). "Brazilians are very passionate people and we honor our body, we do not hide it. It is part of the confidence you see in women in general in my country, whether they are models or not - says Lais about the success of the models of his country on the catwalks of the world. Also, Brazil is an exotic place, with exotic people and that helps you a lot in a race like modeling ".
Ensures that to be an "angel" of the recognized brand you need energy, confidence, a free spirit, and train a lot. "I train like an angel, of course. I work with my coach and, sometimes, other girls join us. As very healthy and I drink a lot of water during the weeks leading up to the parade. Staying hydrated helps my skin and my body. "
