SARA SAMPAIO - V MAGAZINE V155 FALL PREVIEW 2025 SPECIAL EDITION

"Instantly recognizable as one of the many anointed “angels” of our generation, a bestowment granted by fashion mega beast Victoria’s Secret, where Sara found her footing as a budding model, Sampaio’s pivot to acting has been one of interest for many of Hollywood’s head honchos. But don’t consider this a career act of spontaneity; it’s an act of manifestation. “I’ve always wanted to be an actor. Since I was a kid, I’ve always loved acting and playing make-believe. We had theater in school, and those were my favorite classes,” she explains. “I thought about how much fun it would be to pretend you’re a spy, or that you can dance and sing in all these beautiful gowns, or pretend you are in the most beautiful love story. You just get to really deep dive into some complex people and lives, and it taught me a lot about the human experience.”
