Behati Prinsloo was born in Grootfontein, Namibia but was discovered while vacationing in her mother’s native South Africa when she was just 15. After a photographer approached the preacher’s daughter in a supermarket and asked if she was a model, Prinsloo felt compelled to visit a modeling agency and shoot some Polaroids. Storm Model Agency boss Sarah Doukas was so impressed by the round-faced youngster that she signed her up on the spot, and Prinsloo was modeling in Paris and London before the year was up.

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, Shiatzy Chen, 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, 2008, and 2009; she has also been doing print work for the company as the spokesmodel for the sub-brand Pink. 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.

Before she began her career as a model, Prinsloo planned on becoming a marine biologist. Her father is a minister in Namibia. She is close friends with Canadian model Coco Rocha, whose blog she is often featured in. She lives with and is in a long term relationship with fellow model Jamie Strachan.
