Lea T., transsexual model and industry darling, hit Brazil's Fashion Rio runway on Wednesday, strutting in several swimsuits for one of the country's top beachwear brands, Blue Man.

Her turn on the catwalk came a few days after Lea T. was spotted on the beach in Ipanema shooting the label's latest ad campaign, marking the first swimwear contract for the stunner. Terry Richardson snapped the pics, which also included a male kiss, according to passersby.
