Early life and career
Goulart is of Portuguese and Italian 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 siblings”. 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 16), 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.
Modeling career
During Goulart’s first ever fashion show appearance, she experienced a wardrobe malfunction when her top fell open. The incident made many Brazilian newspapers. She eventually put this event behind her and returned to the runway to model collections for A-list designers such as Alberta Ferretti, Bill Blass, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Isabel Marant, Givenchy, Altuzarra, Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, Balmain, Jil Sander, Chanel, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Emilio Pucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Emanuel Ungaro, Loewe, Roberto Cavalli and Stella McCartney, among others. Goulart has also modeled for H&M, Express, Neiman Marcus, Missoni and DSquared².
In 2005, Goulart appeared on the covers of the April edition of Marie Claire France and, in December, Vogue Brazil. She first appeared in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2005, the year she was contracted as an Angel. She received a star on the Hollywood “Walk of Fame” prior to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2007. Although she is no longer an Angel, Goulart walked in every Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show from 2005 to 2016. In 2008, she replaced fellow Victoria’s Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio as the face of A/X Armani Exchange and she was featured in three seasonal print campaigns for the label.
