IZABEL GOULART
Izabel Goulart
Date of birth October 23, 1984
Place of birth Sao Carlos, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Maria Izabel Goulart Dourado (born October 23, 1984) is a Brazilian model.
She is best known as one of Victoria's Secret Angels.
Goulart was born on October 23, 1984 in Sao Carlos, Sao Paulo, Brazil. She is of
Italian-Brazilian descent. She has four brothers and one sister. Goulart once
said that "the hardest part about being an Angel is I spend time away from my
mom's food and away from my home with my five brothers and sister."
Goulart has stated that school was a particularly rough time, as she was made
fun of for her skinny build, and was even called names such as "giraffe".
While shopping for groceries with her mother at age 14, a hairstylist
suggested that she should become a model. She moved to the state's capital São
Paulo and started modeling.
During Goulart's first ever fashion show appearance, she experienced a wardrobe
malfunction. The unfortunate incident made many Brazilian newspapers and remains
her most embarrassing moment. She was able to put her rocky start behind her and
returned to the runway to model collections for A-list designers such as Bill
Blass, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, Jill Sander,
Chanel, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren and Stella McCartney, among many others.
She first appeared on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in the 2005 and made
her Victoria's Secret Angels debut on 2006. She has also posed for photos with
top photographers such as Terry Richardson, David Sims, Greg Kadel and Vincent
Peters for such publications as French and Japanese Vogue, French magazine and
Numero magazine.
