It's not just any model that attracts the attention of Naomi Campbell and Anna Wintour. But it would seem that Emanuela de Paula is not just any model.

Born in Cabo de Santo Agostino, Brazil, on April 25, 1989, Emanuela's career began in 2004 when she was scouted on the streets of Recife, the capital of Pernambuco. Right after, Emanuela signed with Marilyn agency, moved to New York, and started to walk the runways.

Not only has Emanuela posed for the iconic Pirelli calendar, but she walked in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for the first time in 2008, joining the rest of the Brazilian brigade. She has worked with designers such as Bill Blass, Zac Posen, and Ralph Lauren to name a few, and has appeared in W, Vogue, i-D, Allure, Elle, and Marie Claire.

After only five years in the business, she made the Forbes World's Top-Earning Models list in 2009, bringing in an estimated $2.5 million, so she's surely a face that won't be going away anytime soon!
