Ana Beatriz Barros was born on the 29th of May in 1982. Born
in Itabria, Minas Gerais Brazil, Ana moved to Rio de Janeiro when she was young
and grew up on the beach. Was discovered by the Director of Elite Management
while at the beach with her sister Patricia (also a model). In 1996 won the
Brazilian Elite Look of the Year, and placed 2nd in the International Elite
Look of the Year. After winning, she was given an offer by Guess? and through
them met one of her best friends, Alessandra Ambrosio.
Has since done advertisements for Victoria's Secret, Chanel, Jennifer Lopez's
JLO fashion line and many others, as well as graced the covers of several magazines
as well, such as Vogue, Marie Claire, Allure and Brazilian magazines Capricho
and Audi. Ana credits her love for diverse cultures and languages as contributors
towards her desire to be a model, so being a model is the perfect vocation for
her, as she gets to travel around the world and visit beautiful places while
doing runway for companies such as Balmain, Christian Dior, Christian Lacroiz,
Valentino and Lolita Lempicka.
Currently with Elite+, Women, Megal Models and Chic, her mother agency Lumière
Sao Paulo is run by the husband of her sister. When she's not busy modeling,
Ana enjoys spending her time going to the movies, hanging out with her friends,
listening to music (like Usher or Lenny Kravitz), swimming, playing volleyball,
and reading.
