And it seems the Brazilian model, actress and influencer has a knack for dating ridiculously fashion people. After famously dated Kanye West during the latter part of 2022, she's recently been linked with Formula One legend and fashion fanatic Lewis Hamilton - whose dress sense always finishes in pole position. Lest we forget he wore an embellished purple Rick Owens boilersuit to the Miami Grand Prix in May...

Who is Juliana Nalú? 

Juliana Nalú is a 24 year-old Afro-Brazilian model and actress, born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. In an interview with Latina magazine she revealed that she was raised in the Complexo do Chapadao favela, north of Rio de Janeiro. "I wanted to do big things outside of Brazil, but I had no idea how to… the dream sounded too far for me, but I knew that I could try to reach [it]," she explained.

She first told her mother she wanted to be a model at the age of six years old. When she was 18, she was selected to be part of L’Oreal Paris' Brazil campaign, and soon after, she landed a modelling agency. "My mom was helping me follow my dreams, travelling to agencies with me, and making brand connections. I lived in the favelas with my family until I was 18," she told the publication. "It was hard to deal with the violence, and I didn’t have access to many privileges in Brazil, compared to others. However, my mom had so much love for [me and my siblings] and gave us everything we needed to be a good person."

In 2017 when she was 19, she visited Los Angeles, it was then that she signed with Elite Models. She is also signed with their Miami branch. "The visibility I have now is a privilege... I want the world to see a Brazilian from Rio, the favelas. Good things exist there. So, for the next girls who come after me, the [industry] will be more open."
