Isabeli Fontana

Model

Isabeli Fontana began appearing in the Victoria's Secret catalog in 1999 -- reportedly having led the company to breach its usual policy of hiring only models aged 21 or older. She has modelled commercially for Ralph Lauren and Valentino, among many others, and appeared on the covers of Vogue, Marie Claire and Elle. She was part of the 'Brazilian model invasion' of the late 1990s, in a group including Gisele Bundchen, Ana Claudia Michels and Adriana Lima.

Extra credit: She sometimes goes by the one-name moniker 'Isabeli.'

Fontana appears with Eva Herzigova in our loop on The Models of Victoria's Secret, and with Serena Williams in our loop on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Models.
