Ana Beatriz Barros is rising in the ranks of Victoria’s Secret angels as veteran models like Miranda Kerr go on leave to have babies. Barros was almost a baby herself when she was discovered at 13. But has she ever grown up. Barros and her older sister, Patricia, were vacationing in Rio de Janeiro when they were spotted by a representative from Elite Model Management. Even then she was tall and thin with perfect model proportions. Today, she’s just shy of six feet tall.

In 2004, Jennifer Lopez selected Ana Beatriz Barros to be the face of her new lingerie line, JLO Lingerie. “I wanted someone young, sexy and urban, with a universal appeal,” Lopez said at the time. Barros is also a veteran of the illustrious Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She appeared seven years in a row, from 2002 through 2008. Barros also appeared in the 2010 Pirelli calendar with Lily Cole, Daisy Lowe, Miranda Kerr and other models.
