Which model was the first Brazilian woman to appear on the cover of Vogue Paris?

Gisele Bündchen was the first Brazilian woman to appear on the cover of Vogue Paris.

Bündchen rose to international prominence in the late 1990s, when her athletic appearance helped popularize a new style of runway and editorial modeling. Her Vogue Paris milestone reflected the increasing visibility of Brazilian models in major European fashion publications.

She went on to work with leading designers, photographers, and luxury brands, while also becoming one of the world’s highest-paid models. Her commercial success helped make Brazilian fashion models central figures in global advertising.

Bündchen is sometimes confused with Adriana Lima, another internationally successful Brazilian model. Both became major names in the same era, but the Vogue Paris first is associated with Bündchen.
