Best boutiques in Brazil, according to Ana Beatriz Barros

By Beatriz Tasso Fragoso, special contributor

First Brazilian top model to join the Victoria’s Secret team of “angels” – the lingerie-clad winged goddesses that strut the catwalk once a year for the world’s biggest televised fashion show – Ana Beatriz Barros is a green-eyed stunner from a small town in Minas Gerais state.

She splits her time between New York, São Paulo and runways on both sides of the Atlantic and made her name for starring in several Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues and landing countless magazine covers. The latest two? Vogue Homme and Vogue España.

She’s not a big party girl, but on the rare occasions when she goes clubbing, favourite night spots include Disco, in São Paulo. She loves to dress up at night – heels are a must - but during the day, she prefers dressing down (jeans, flat sandals and a plain t-shirt are her standard get-up). Ana’s favourite shops in Brazil are Daslu, Forum, Reinaldo Lourenço and, for beachwear, Lenny.
