Marina Ruy Barbosa just landed a career-defining moment on the global fashion stage. The Brazilian actress, model, and entrepreneur is the first Brazilian to appear on the cover of V Magazine, a milestone that marks her growing international relevance and undeniable star power.
V Magazine isn’t just any fashion outlet—it’s one of the world’s most prestigious and trendsetting publications, known for blending art, fashion, and pop culture in highly stylized and conceptual editorials. Over the years, it has hosted covers featuring Beyoncé, Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna. Now, it’s Marina’s turn, and she rises to the occasion with elegance and fire.
The 29-year-old appears in the magazine’s newest edition in a bold, refined editorial that reflects her most confident phase yet. Styled to perfection, Marina’s striking red hair and commanding presence bring a sense of cinematic glamour to every frame. The cover feature opens with a playful yet powerful statement:
“It’s a well-known fact that heat rises, so it’s only fitting that Marina Ruy Barbosa, Brazil’s hottest export, has her sights set on North America (especially considering her fiery red hair).”

Marina’s journey began in Brazilian soap operas, where she practically grew up on-screen and became a household name. But she’s never settled for the expected. With an innate sense of style and ambition, she’s evolved into a global fashion muse and entrepreneur, founding her own fashion label, Ginger, and building a massive online following.
Now, as her profile expands across borders, Marina is stepping into a new era—one that blends acting, fashion, and brand-building with international ambition. The V Magazine interview delves into her creative mindset, career evolution, and what it means to be a modern Brazilian icon in an ever-changing global culture.
With this landmark cover, Marina Ruy Barbosa doesn’t just break barriers—she redefines what it means to represent Brazil on a world stage.
