Behati Prinsloo Biography

Behati Prinsloo was 15 when she was discovered by a fashion scout while on vacation in Cape Town, South Africa in 2005. She signed with the Storm modeling agency, and before the year was out she had modeled in Paris and London and appeared in Vogue magazine in Italy.

Round-faced, red-cheeked, hazel-eyed and athletic, Behati Prinsloo was young enough to pose as a lip-chewing schoolgirl in early advertisements before moving on to more mature roles as she posed for brands ranging from Chanel and Hugo Boss to Juicy Couture fragrance. She began modeling for Victoria’s Secret in 2007, becoming in particular the face of the company’s “Pink” line of casual clothing for many years.
