| Maybe it's the green eyes and dark hair. Maybe it's the lips that don't seem to ever end. Maybe it's that inexhaustible love for life so revered in Brazilian women. It doesn't matter. Pick a feature; Daniella is still the loveliest southern export we've seen in years. |

| After getting a late start in modeling, Daniella became a hit in Brazil after doing Pepsi commercials and posing for major magazines. After a stint as a soap opera actress, she began hosting a show on MTV Brasil and was briefly engaged to soccer phenom Ronaldo. |

Daniella Cicarelli was born on November 6, 1978, into a traditional but fiery Italian family in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Her mother had hoped for a daughter with big lips and blue eyes; fate smiled halfway and gave her a green-eyed, pouty brunette, who was turning heads before her first kiss. At age 14, Daniella took part in an Elite modeling contest and won. But her father would not let her further pursue a modeling career with a move to So Paulo, South America's fashion capital, at such a young age.
Instead, Daniella continued her normal life in Belo Horizonte, where she studied business administration in college. But she continued doing modeling gigs on the side to earn a little extra money. Frustrated by her unfulfilled potential, Daniella's agency couldn't stand it anymore. They convinced her to make the move and go pro.
Given that most Brazilian models get started no later than age 15, going pro at 20 was something of a late start. In light of this, Daniella was a bit shaky, but she was also more mature, more sure of herself and better educated than many of her peers. The job offers began to pile up on her doorstep. She did catwalks, magazine shoots, catalogs... the works. But it was a 2001 Pepsi ad that really detonated Daniella's career. From that moment on, she seemed to be all TV all the time.
Popular websites showcasing hot women spread Daniella's name. A centerfold in the men's magazine VIP made her such a star that Brazilian media giant TV Globo cast her in the soap opera As Filhas da Me (The Mother's Daughters), where she costarred in no fewer than 40 episodes. |
