Izabel Goulart (full name is Maria Izabel Goulart Dourado) is a Brazilian model. She is best known as one of Victoria’s Secret Angels.
Goulart was born on October 23, 1984 in S茫o Carlos, S茫o Paulo, Brazil. She is of italian and brazilian descent. She has four brothers and one sister. Goulart once said that “the hardest part about being an Angel is I spend time away from my mom’s food and away from my home with my five brothers and sister.”
Goulart has stated that school was a particularly rough time, as she was made fun of for her skinny build, and was even called names such as “giraffe”.
While shopping for groceries with her mother at age 14, a hairstylist suggested that she should become a model. She moved to the state’s capital S茫o Paulo and started modeling.
During Goulart’s first ever fashion show appearance, she experienced a wardrobe malfunction. The unfortunate incident made many Brazilian newspapers and remains her most embarrassing moment. She was able to put her rocky start behind her and returned to the runway to model collections for A-list designers such as Bill Blass, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, Jill Sander, Chanel, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren and Stella McCartney, among many others.
She first appeared on the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in the 2005 and made her Victoria’s Secret Angels debut on 2006. She has also posed for photos with top photographers such as Terry Richardson, David Sims, Greg Kadel and Vincent Peters for such publications as French and Japanese Vogue, French magazine and Numero magazine. She also recently modelled in a photo shoot for Armani Exchange advertising their Lifestyle Spring campaign 2008.
Goulart was reportedly engaged to businessman Marcelo Costa on August 2006. However, on the February 7, 2008 Conan O’Brien show, she mentioned that she was single.
Goulart is Catholic. She is also devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Goulart does charitable work helping with hospitals in her native Brazil to raise money to provide free insulin for diabetic children in need. She also wants to help on finding a cure for diabetes.
