Math genius turned supermodel Sara Sampaio sizzles in Miami.

For a woman who makes her living gracing billboards and striding down runways for adoring crowds, Sara Sampaio seems practically allergic to attention. The 24-year-old model is back in New York City after a trip that swept her to Los Angeles for the Academy Awards, Paris for Fashion Week and to a $36 million mansion in Miami for our cover shoot. But in the hushed bar of a Manhattan hotel, she shrugs off the glamour of her globetrotting and rolls her eyes at the frivolousness of air-kissing small talk. “If one more person asks me how I’m doing,” Sampaio says, pausing to take a gulp of the strawberry milkshake she’s smuggled in with her, “I’m going to scream.”
To be fair, the entreaties of intrusive strangers aren’t entirely unwarranted. In the past year, the Portuguese model, who’s a household name in her home country, snagged a coveted gig as one of the Victoria’s Secret Angels—that’s her in the ads for the brand’s Very Sexy Now fragrance— she’s walked in shows for high-end fashion lines including Miu Miu and Balmain, and she’s even signed with a powerhouse Hollywood management agency. So, how is she doing? Sara Sampaio is on fire—and that’s just the way she planned it. “I’ve always had very high aims for my life and for my career, for anything that I do,” says Sampaio, clad in leather leggings and a belly-baring black crop top. “If I do something, I want to be the best. And one of the best things you can be is a Victoria’s Secret Angel; for me, that’s always been a goal.”
