What a Beautiful Woman Wants: Marianne Fonseca

“When a guy is too handsome or very strong or looks too ‘perfect’ I don’t feel so attracted to him. I prefer a normal cute guy that seems more approachable.”

If her star keeps rising, Marianne Fonseca just might become the next Adriana Lima or Alessandra Ambrosio.

The Brazilian beauty is already a formidable force in the modeling industry, having posed in campaigns and shows for fashion behemoths like Dior and Hugo Boss. Her picture-perfect physique and captivating gaze have no doubt helped her land covers of Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and Cosmopolitan.

Aside from the obvious, our favorite thing about Fonseca could be her humanitarian spirit. The link at the top of her Instagram bio directs not to her latest spread or personal website, but a page for a mission trip to Uganda, where she and her team will spend two weeks hosting a medical clinic and other outreach projects.
