@laisribeiro graces the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Arabia’s February 2026 issue, ready to redefine what legacy looks like beyond the runway. Born and raised in the Brazilian city of Miguel Alves, modelling was never part of Lais’ plan until she visited a small, local modelling agency on the advice of a friend. From her first gig handing out flyers, to a record-breaking debut Fashion Week season in 2011, Lais’ ascent was nothing short of stratospheric. Now celebrated globally as a Victoria’s Secret Angel and a defining face of fashion, the supermodel is entering a new era of empowerment. On her first visit to Dubai, draped in Van Cleef & Arpels high jewellery, she spoke to
@natashafarque about her successful past, her current sense of purpose, and the activism set to shape her next chapter.
