About Caroline Trentini
Caroline Trentini, a Brazilian supermodel, was born on Monday 6th of July 1987 in Pernambi, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. She grew up in a working-class family of Italian descent, with her mother, Lourdes, raising her and her two sisters after her father's death when she was one. Nicknamed "Carol" or "Caro," she was scouted at 13 by an agent in São Paulo, the same agency that discovered Gisele Bündchen. Moving to São Paulo and then New York at 15, designer Marc Jacobs spotted her, launching her international career with a 2002 Marc by Marc Jacobs campaign.
She rose to fame as part of "The Brazilian Bombshell" era of models from 2000-2010, alongside stars like Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, and Gisele Bündchen. Her modeling career skyrocketed, and she signed with agencies such as Way Model Management, The Society Management, Elite Model Management, and Storm Model Management. She walked for top designers including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, and Versace, and appeared in Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows from 2005 to 2009. Her editorial work spans multiple Vogue covers (USA, Italy, Brazil, Japan), Harper's Bazaar, Elle, and W Magazine, with campaigns for Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Michael Kors, and Banana Republic. In 2007, Vogue named her "Model of the Year." Photographers like Steven Meisel and Mario Testino have featured her, including in the 2006 Pirelli Calendar.
Caroline balances her modeling career with motherhood, having married photographer Fabio Bartelt in 2012 and raising two sons, Bento (born 2013) and Benoah (born 2016). Her Instagram (@caroltrentini) has 804k followers, where she shares modeling work, family moments, and glimpses of her Brazilian roots. With blonde hair, blue eyes, and a slim body type, she stands 6'0" (182 cm) with measurements of 32-23-35. Her natural beauty, including her freckles, has been praised by photographers like Peter Lindbergh and designer Marc Jacobs. She appeared in the 2011 documentary The Model as Muse and attended the 2015 Met Gala. Her net worth is estimated at $3-5 million. Beyond modeling, she supports animal welfare and sustainable fashion, maintaining a wholesome, controversy-free image. Her quote, "Modeling is about being yourself, but better," reflects her authentic approach. She remains a beloved figure in fashion, with a 2024 Vogue Brazil cover and a 2025 campaign for Animale.
