In 1996, she was a finalist in an Elite Model Look Contest in São Paulo, and the following year, at the age of only 14, she traveled from her native Brazil to Milan, to start working as a model. This move helped Isabeli see her home as those from other countries see it; "Everyone wants to know about Brazil," she admits.

She married fellow model Álvaro Jacomossi, and together they had a son named Zion in 2003. However, the couple divorced in 2004. On December 10, 2005, she married Henri Castelli, an actor and model, producing one son named Lucas. The couple recently separated, and have begun divorce proceedings.

Isabeli Fontana recently appeared in the spring Prada show in Milan, and on the cover of the Brazilian edition of Elle magazine. In 2008, she will become the face of H&M lingerie.
