Lais Ribeiro

[RaniLovesNYC]

Extremely beautiful. It's great to see someone different than the usual pale, blonde lifeless things that walk on the runway.

Lais is the ultimate total package. If she's not one of the next models to be known by all, something went wrong.

What is Lais' ethnicity? She is of African/mixed descent?

 

[BeautyisDiverse]

She's Brazilian from what I've been told.

 

[RaniLovesNYC]

Does anyone know how old she is?

EDIT: Never mind. I did a google search and it says she's 19

I love her...if I haven't come into the thread and said it before. Such a beautiful delicate face and a slamming body...a model like they used to make them. So happy for her showlist in Milan in particular, surprisingly strong for a newcomer.

Without doubt the most interesting newcomer this season
Stunning at Versace and one of the only new girls there who didn't look out of her depth. In a sea of blonde pale faces she stands out a mile with her exotic and very classy looks.
I hope this momentum carries on to Paris and hopefully some campaigns for the coming season. Actually seeing how she fitted in at Gucci....that campaign would be nice

She is not Indian... She is Brazilian.

Unless you meant Native American, then yeah, probably a mix of that with some European and African. She's a stunner. DEFINITELY stands out amongst all of the usual girls.

 

[lanvinray]

So Lais really is half Indian, half Brazilian, part African? I'm confused She's so fierce! Girl, u better explode in Paris!

Here's the bit they (Diane? Sonny?) wrote about her. Thanks for the link!

In Rio I came across Lais Ribeiro, a stunning six foot tall new model who some are touting as the country´s next big export. I met her at Osklen´s fitting and it was amazing to see how self-collected she was in the midst of all the frenzy that unfolds before a show. She didn´t speak English so I asked Oskar to tell her that I had written about her for the NYT´s The Moment and that I thought she was going to be very successful - through him she said thank you but she didn´t seem very excited. Thinking about it more, I realized this is what I love about her - both off and on the runway she projects a kind of aristocratic boredom, as well as awe-inspiring beauty, and the marriage of the two makes for a great runway and editorial presence. She still needs to learn to channel the effect, but if she can be bothered to try, she has what it takes to inspire photographers, stylists and designers. Watching her just now at the Simone Nunes show, I was talking to my friend Ana (Finel Honigman), a fellow fan. said that she loved how she looked like she had somewhere better to be... but she´s probably only 16, so what could she possibly have on her schedule.. playing with her Playstation? I suggested that perhaps she has precognitive ability and realizes how boring the next 5 years are going to be once she hits the big time and has to deal with fashion bull**** all day long. At one show yesterday we actually saw her yawn as she turned from the photographers during the final group exit.

Here´s a gallery of images - do you see what I´m talking about in her expression? Kind of a Snejana effect, but less haughty or put-on. She doesn´t look like an elitist snob, just a bit skeptical and like she suspects fashion is a big snooze. And she´s right. Most of the time it is.

That's what I assumed. Most Brazilians are a racial mix, and I would think she has some of a lot of things based on her appearance.

 

[fantastical]

Brazilian is her nationality. Her ethnicity would be indian/native american and whatever else she may be mixed with. whatever she is, I want a piece cuz her skin is literally without flaw

thanks again bruninha_brianti

 

[crow_watcher]

^ You ain't kiddin'... I want a piece too!

 

[fantastical]

I hope she has an equally amazing runway season in Paris, although seeing how she has done so far, it would seem hard not to
