Who is Behati Prinsloo?
MODEL Behati Prinsloo is set to blaze the runway of Victoria’s Secret Fashion show 2024.
In an all-women lineup on October 15, 2024 Behati fans are looking forward to seeing her on the catwalk of Victoria’s Secret’s first major show since 2018.
Behati has walked in 10 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows in her career.
A Victoria’s Secret Angel since 2009, she has missed only two shows due to pregnancy.
Her modeling career began long before this, after she was discovered vacationing in Cape Town with her grandparents.
She since made a name for herself after working in several modeling campaigns.
Due to her appearances in ads by Victoria’s Secret and Savage x Fenty, people have been more curious to know more about the Namibian model.
Victoria’s Secret Angel
Born on May 16, 1988, Behati Prinsloo is a popular model from the South African country of Namibia.
She has appeared in fashion campaigns for brands such as Miu Miu, Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, Louis Vuitton, Versace, and Ralph Lauren.
In 2007, Behati garnered wider recognition after she signed with Victoria’s Secret.
Her contract with the famed lingerie brand came to an end in 2019.
At the time, she reflected on her career as a VS angel and told Harper’s BAZAAR: “I remember when I started with the brand in 2007 how much I looked up to the women.
“It’s such an amazing place where you want to be as a model. It’s a career goal.
“There’s such a small amount of girls who are part of it and they have such amazing and hardworking reputations.”
She added: “My experience with the brand has grown better and better.
“You have such friendships with people and they’re very loyal. They have always believed in me.
“You can’t really call it a fashion show because it’s a performance.”
Behati stated: “It also allows you to be yourself and bring out your personality. I love that it’s like that. It’s bigger than life.”
Aside from fashion, the runway star also appeared in music videos by Missy Elliott, Maroon 5, and Selena Gomez.
Fame & fortune
Her modeling resume is full of ads for H&M, GAP, DKNY, and Yves Saint Laurent.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Behati has amassed an estimated fortune of $30million.
“I think I have always felt so lucky in my career and in my life as a model and I have always felt so grateful for the opportunities that I’ve had,” she stated.
“I feel very overwhelmed that I have been able to get this far to now be able to choose what I want to do.”
In September 2021, Behati reunited with some of her fellow VS angels to walk the runway in Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty fashion show.
The spectacle featured her alongside former VS angels Adriana Lima, Gigi Hadid, Joan Smalls, and Irina Shayk.
Maroon 5 & motherhood
In 2012, Prinsloo began dating American musician Adam Levine of the band known as Maroon 5.

On September 21, 2016 the couple welcomed the birth of their first baby daughter, Dusty Rose.
Behati appeared in the 2018 Maroon 5 video entitled, “Girls like you,” alongside her husband and their daughter Dusty Rose.
Shortly before Behati gave birth to their second daughter Gio Grace on February 15, 2018, Adam spoke to Ellen Degeneres to reveal that his model wife wanted more children in the future.
