Though the star has walked countless runways during Fashion Week in cities like New York, Paris and Milan, when she took part in a show for the 2021 event in the Big Apple, her sky-high heels caused her to trip during the Custo Barcelona Spring/Summer 2022 show. Luckily, Ferreira came out of the incident unscathed, though footage of the mishap made the rounds.
She Speaks Multiple Languages
"I am a Polyglot speaker," she explained. "I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish and the native Paraguayan language (Guaraní)."
She Has Goals Outside Of Modeling
Ferreira, who attended Universidad Americana, hasn't ruled out a career in music like Anthony, saying she "could" one day record a tune or two. "I have so many options that I have not yet sat down and said 'This is what I want to do,'" she explained to Al Rojo Vivo. "But in the meantime I continue working as a model doing campaigns, commercials, and there I go."
Added the star, "I always say it’s the beginning of my career, because bigger things always happen to me in my life and that is also a message for other people, you can always do more, so you always have to dream more, higher, because you can, everything is possible and you can achieve it."
