Maria Izabel Goulart Dourado (born October 23, 1984 in São Carlos), better known as Izabel Goulart, is a Brazilian model. She is best known as one of the Victoria’s Secret Angels from 2005 to now and for her work with Armani Exchange.
Goulart was born on October 23, 1984, in São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil. She is of Italian and Portuguese descent and has four brothers and one sister. Goulart once said, “the hardest part about being [a Victoria’s Secret Angel] is I spend time away from my mom’s food and away from my home with my five brothers and sister”. School was a particularly rough time for Goulart, as she was made fun of for her skinny build and was called names such as “giraffe”
While shopping for groceries with her mother at age 14, a hairstylist suggested that she should become a model. She moved to the state capital, São Paulo, and started modeling, moving to France shortly afterwards to develop her career. Goulart returned to São Paulo in August 2001 (aged 17), where she joined former agency Success. Her career in the Brazilian fashion world was launched by Ney Alves, currently the director of Major Models Brazil.
