Daiane Sodre

Standing at 5'11" with green eyes and brown hair, Daiane Sodre presents a striking presence that has defined her career. Born in Baixa Grande, Bahia, Brazil, on 11 March 1993, she grew up with a mixed-race heritage that is primarily Black. Her slim, natural figure and real features have made her a sought-after model, and she has walked for designers like Oscar de la Renta and Christian Siriano.

Sodre's path into fashion began in 2011 when she was scouted by Dilson Stein, the same talent finder who discovered Alessandra Ambrosio, Carol Trentini, and Gisele Bundchen. She quickly signed with Marilyn NY, and by the next year she had shot for Ralph Lauren and begun working with Victoria's Secret. In 2013, her Brazilian mother agency, Elo Management, moved her to Major Models New York, which led to a lawsuit from Marilyn NY over an alleged contract breach.

Since then, Sodre has appeared in editorials for Marie Claire Brazil, US Cosmopolitan, L'Officiel Switzerland, L'Officiel Brasil (including a cover), Elle South Africa, Glamour South Africa, Nylon, and Wonderland. She has amassed 1.5 million Instagram followers, a testament to her influence as a supermodel and influencer. Victoria's Secret model is her standout achievement, though her Brazilian roots and early career milestones remain central to her story.
