Ana Paula Araujo

With her warm brown eyes and natural curves, Ana Paula Araujo carries the look of a classic Brazilian beauty. The 44-year-old, born in Boa Vista, Roraima, Brazil, has graced the pages of the 2007 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Her portfolio includes work with world-class photographers on those shoots, plus appearances in advertisements for Liz Claiborne. She is also known for being the subject of Joanne Gair's body painting in the 2007 edition. Standing 5'8" with an average build, she brings a real, unenhanced presence to her work. Her measurements are 34–27–36, and her long brown hair frames her face. Straight and Latin, she represents a distinct chapter in swimsuit modeling. She is Brazilian by nationality, a fact that has shaped her career. As a supermodel, she has left a mark on the industry's visual landscape. Her body painting session with Gair remains a standout moment in that year's issue.
