But Sampaio is certainly advancing her career with high profile alliances, including continuing on with Victoria’s Secret, when Razek got the boot. Armani is a real feather in Valentina’s cap.

Okay, okay. Best known after dancing with John Travolta at the White House, but her efforts to destigmatize HIV and AIDS patients were critical in changing minds about the disease. Diana also won front-page covers in Angola in January 1997 and Bosnia in August 1997, advocating for the clearance of landmines and also for innocent, maimed victims of landmines years later.
