| As the new face of the modeling world, we consider Fernanda Motta among the most beautiful of Brazil's exports. We just love Fernanda's natural look. |

| Part of the Brazilian modeling invasion, Fernanda worked on the publicity campaign for Victoria's Secret and Pantene before making an impression in the 2004 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. |

Brazil's Rio de Janeiro is an exotic city of pleasure and beauty. It's only appropriate that it was the birthplace of Fernanda Motta in 1981. As the youngest child of a huge extended family, life was very sweet for her.
She fondly remembers the family gatherings where people, about 100 of them, would play music, have a barbecue, and relax by playing tennis and soccer. As the baby of the family, everyone would pay extra attention to her to make sure she had the time of her life.
She spent most of her years growing up interacting with her friends. A favorite activity during her teenage years was hanging out at the beach.
When she was 16, she was taking it easy at Guarapari Beach, just north of Rio, a favorite spot of locals and tourists alike. Then, out of the blue, a modeling scout noticed her and couldn't believe his eyes.
Without missing a beat, the scout approached Fernanda and told her she had all the right elements to make it in the modeling world if she wanted to. The teenager was taken aback, as she had never thought it was in the stars for her. But she decided to take a chance.
Interestingly, this is the same way that fellow Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros was discovered -- on the same beach, no less.
From then on, it was the good life for Fernanda. Like the rest of her countrymen, as she likes to recall, she would work until 4 p.m. and then head for the beach. But that's not to say she wasn't busy. |
