Modeling career
Lima moved to New York City , and eventually moved on from Ford, signing with Elite Model Management . Her early career consisted mostly of fashion editorial work (with early appearances in international editions of Vogue and Marie Claire in 1997/1998), as well as runway work ( Christian Lacroix , Valentino , and others). Lima's first big break came when she was featured in a Vassarette billboard in Times Square . Her print career followed, and like many other famous names ( Claudia Schiffer , Laetitia Casta , Eva Herzigova ), Lima became a GUESS? Girl in their 2000 Costanoa and has face campaign. Lima continued to build upon her entry, doing more print work ( Maybelline , bebe , Mossimo , BCBG ) and gracing the cover and editorials of more high fashion magazines ( Harper's Bazaar , ELLE ). Probably best known for her Victoria's Secret work and Angel status (along with Heidi Klum , Gisele Bündchen , and Alessandra Ambrosio ), Lima first graced the VS runway in 1999, and was the show opener for the 2003 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
In 2001, Lima starred in BMW Films short, The Follow alongside actors Mickey Rourke , Clive Owen , and Forest Whitaker . In the film, Owen's character is hired to follow Lima's, who is suspected of cheating on her famous husband, played by Rourke. The film had a runtime of 8:47 including credits, was written by Andrew Kevin Walker, and directed by Wong Kar-Wai . Lima made it clear that acting is not her priority and that she only did The Follow because it was a short film.
She is represented by DNA Model Management NYC in the United States, Lumiere Models in Brazil and VIVA Models in Europe.
