Her trademark piercing blue eyes and high-profile relationship with former fianc้ Lenny Kravitz have made Adriana one of the most familiar faces on the scene. Her exotic beauty helped her win the runner-up spot in the Ford modelling agency's Supermodel Of The World competition in 1997, and soon after, she left her country to pursue a career in New York. Before the Nineties came to a close she had the covers of Italian Marie Claire and Vogue US, German and UK versions under her belt. However, it's not just glitz this pillow-lipped cover girl has on her mind. She returns home frequently to visit her family "It's good to go back to my roots, to feel loved not for what I do, but for who I am," she says and is known for dedicating time and money to an orphanage in her hometown. |
