Model Lais Ribeiro stuns in a baby pink bikini as she poses for Sports Illustrated
MODEL Lais Ribeiro has her latest Sports Illustrated photoshoot all tied up.
The Brazilian star posed in a pink bikini top and briefs, knotted at the side, for the famous swimsuit edition of the magazine which is on sale now.
Lais, 30, celebrated her fourth outing in the edition at a party in Hollywood with her basketball star fiancé Joakim Noah, 36.
The couple, who started dating in 2018, got engaged at Burning Man Festival the following year.
Lais has featured on campaigns for Victoria's Secret since 2010.
Not only did she star in the 2011 Christmas advert, she also promoted the 2012 Valentine’s Day collection with supermodels Candice Swanepoel and Adriana Lima.
After spraining her ankle during the rehearsals for the 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Lais had no option but to step down from the role.
To make up for her injury, the iconic lingerie company cast her in the Birds of Paradise segment the following year.
Following her extensive contribution to the brand, she was finally made a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 2015.
Just like her fellow Angel Alessandra Ambrosio, Lais came from humble beginnings.

After she gave birth her son Alexandre eight years ago, one of Lais’ friends asked her if she’d ever considered working in the fashion industry.
Remarkably, the model was rejected by a number of different agencies who had her handing out flyers because she wasn’t deemed curvy enough.
