Behati Prinsloo

Behati Prinsloo (/biˈɑːti ˈprɪnsl/ bee-AH-tee PRIN-sloo, Afrikaans: [ˈbɛɦati ˈprənsluə]; born 16 May 1988) is a Namibian model. In 2008, she became a Pink contract model, and moved on to become a Victoria's Secret Angel in 2009. She walked in twelve Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows (2007–2015; 2018; 2024–2025), and opened consecutive Victoria's Secret Fashion shows in 2014 and 2015.

Prinsloo was born on 16 May 1988 in Grootfontein, Namibia (then part of South West Africa). She is the only child of her father, Boet Prinsloo, who is a church minister. Her mother, Magda (née Rossouw), runs a bed and breakfast. The Prinsloo family are Afrikaners; Behati was raised speaking Afrikaans, having only learned English during her schooling and through meeting more English speakers as she grew up. She attended Grootfontein Secondary School, leaving after grade 9 to pursue modelling.

Her modeling career 'began' when she was discovered vacationing in Cape Town, with her grandparents. Prinsloo recalled: "We went to the grocery store after church and this guy came up to me and asked if I was a model and wrote his number on a piece of paper...".

Prinsloo debuted as a Prada/Miu Miu Exclusive. Soon after, Juergen Teller photographed her for her debut ad campaign, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and she soon was photographed by Mario Testino and Paolo Roversi for British Vogue and David Sims for W Magazine.

Prinsloo has walked in fashion shows for Alexander Wang, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Versace, and other brands.

She has been on the covers of Vogue Spain, Vogue Turkey, Vogue Brasil, Vogue Mexico, Vogue Russia, Vogue Thailand, Elle France, Elle Spain, Elle Italia, Elle Sweden, L'Officiel Netherlands, Marie Claire Greece, Marie Claire South Africa, i-D Magazine, V Magazine, Russh Magazine, 10 Magazine, The Edit, Jalouse, and So It Goes Magazine.

Her ad campaigns include I Love Juicy Couture Fragrance, I Am Juicy Couture Fragrance, Juicy Couture Black Label, Tommy Hilfiger, Alexander Wang 'Do Something', T by Alexander Wang, Marc by Marc Jacobs, H&M, Nina Ricci, The Gap, Aquascutum, M Missoni, Sportmax, DKNY Jeans, Pepe Jeans, Lancaster, Stefanel, Esprit, Lacoste, Desigual, Seafolly, Nine West, and Raw Spirit Fragrance.

In 2010, Prinsloo designed "Behati Loves Pink" swimsuit capsule collection for Victoria's Secret. In 2014, she designed a line of denim for THVM. Most recently, she designed a fashion and accessories collection for Juicy Couture. Models.com ranks Prinsloo on their lists of 'The Top Sexiest Models' as well as their list of 'The Money Girls'.
