Sara Sampaio: Who Is The Portuguese Model?
While there are many names which can boast a Victoria’s Secret Angel spot, Sara Sampaio is one name worth knowing.
It’s safe to say then when it comes to a top fashion show, and one which unveils a plethora of Victoria’s Secret models, it’s hard to keep track of the ever-changing beautiful faces, outfits, and long, long legs of the many models who grace the runway.

Ms Sampaio, however, has made headlines for advancing her career by appearing in films. As well as that, she has become a fashion ambassador, and is even the very first Portuguese model to appear in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue back in 2014.
So how exactly did the Portuguese beauty rise to fame?
Sara Was First Discovered At The Age Of 15
Like many models and actresses, Sampaio was discovered young. Despite being noticed at the age of 15, it wasn’t actually until she turned 16 that she was permitted to take part in modelling competitions.

Once Sara turned 16, she won a hair modelling contest in Portugal. It was known as the Cabelos Pantene, in 2007.

Early success didn’t stop young Sampaio from attending university in Lisbon, however. It didn’t deter her from her dream of becoming a Victoria’s Secret model – a dream which, fortunately, came true.
After first failing to make it to the fashion show following her initial audition, Sara Sampaio eventually managed to make an impressive debut on the runway in the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

If you’re a dog lover, I think you can definitely relate.
And Sara Isn’t Averse To A Little Teasing…

The Portuguese Model Has Also Spoken Openly About Her Fitness And Fashion Secrets
We already know that it’s going to take a lot of effort to look that good, so it’s always handy when models come forward to speak about their own routines behind the scenes.
Regarding her fitness routine, the model told Women Fitness:
“Part of my job is being fit, strong and the best version of myself all year long. I try to work out about 3 to 4 times a week, and I like to change up my workouts. I do SLT, I run, I work out with personal trainers… If I’m by the ocean I love to swim or surf, so for me it is really about changing it up and making it fun”
It seems Sara Sampaio is proving that models can do a lot more than walk the runway!
