Behati Prinsloo (born May 16, 1989) is a Namibian model. She is perhaps known for her work as spokesmodel for the Victoria's Secret sub-brand Pink, and as an Angel as of 2009.
Prinsloo was discovered at the age of 16 in a supermarket in Cape Town, South Africa by Sarah Doukas, the same model scout that discovered model Kate Moss.
She has appeared on the cover of Italy's Muse magazine and the British Telegraph Magazine. Also, more recently she was on the cover of Russian Vogue in February 2007, and the American Velvet magazine in June 2007. Her ad campaigns include Adore, Aquascutum, Chanel, H&M, Hugo Boss, Kurt Geiger, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Max Studio, and Nina Ricci. She has walked in fashion shows for Prada, Paul Smith, Vera Wang, Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler, Versace, Chanel, Missoni, and DKNY.
Also on her resume are appearances in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2007 and 2008; she has also been doing print work for the company as the spokesmodel for the sub-brand Pink.
Her fashion show career has been more than helpful to her resume. By her second season in the model circulation, she had walked on more than 70 runways a season.
Prinsloo is very close friends with Canadian model Coco Rocha. Originally, she planned to be a marine biologist. She is currently dating British male model, Jamie Strachan.
She plays the rich girl in the "Rich Girls" music video by The Virgins. She also appears in the first episode of MTV'S reality show, The City.
