15 Of The Most Influential Online Latina Models Right Now
Quick Links
In the mythology surrounding top models, it is said that their fame is due to fate and luck— Kate Moss was discovered at the JFK airport, Gisele Bündchen at a hamburger restaurant, and Shalom Harlow at a concert. But times appear to be changing, and model scouts no longer walk the streets in search of the looks of the future. They track social networks for photogenic faces and perfect features. In fact, the model of a Marc by Marc Jacobs' campaign was chosen from a casting that took place exclusively on Instagram. They received over 50,000 applications. The initiative was so successful in the media that it has been repeated.
If we talk about sought-after models representing the Latin race, names such as Lais Ribeiro, Adriana Lima, and Alessandra Ambrosio, immediately come to mind. However, it should be noted that in other Latin countries there is also an incredible talent that you should know. Maybe not all of them are up to the task of being a Victoria's Secret angel since only a select group in the world can do it, but they are beautiful women, with thousands and millions of followers on Instagram. Believe us that for no reason you will regret following these gorgeous and lovely Latinas.
Anllela Sagra | @anllela_sagra
More than 10 million fans put this fitness and modeling goddess as one of the Latin queens of Instagram. This 24-year-old girl has become a social phenomenon that serves as a reference and motivation for half of South America and a big part of the rest of the world. Anllela says she was always thin during her modeling days in her native Medellín, in Colombia. She was a regular gym attendee, but without any knowledge of what she should or shouldn't eat to stay in good shape. She was quite happy with her body, her long straight hair, and her legs. But there was one part she didn't like— her butt. However, that wasn't her only obsession, so were her abs. She'd wanted to have a six-pack for years, but it was getting harder over the time. But that is just history... so, if you want to know what her obsessions turned out to be, just check out her photos on Instagram.
