The world almost missed the spectacle of colours and beautiful women that is the annual Brazilian Carnival this year due to funding reasons, among other challenges.
At the last minute, everything came together and street party lovers were treated to, arguably, the world’s biggest (and wildest) street party.
Thousands of revellers and samba dancers took to the streets of Rio de Janeiro to celebrate the carnival on its opening night on February 13, 2015.
It was an unrestrained show of feathers, bikinis, body art, and glitter as local samba schools took to the streets in a 5-day festival which ended on February 17, 2015
Brazil’s street carnivals are world renown and many town and villages hold carnivals, however, Sao Paulo and Rio hold the biggest carnivals . The country receives about 500,000 visitors attracted to these carnivals.
Below, we present to you, 40 of the sexiest Brazilian samba dancers at this year’s carnival, which include Miss Bum-Bum Winner of Portugal, who suffered a wardrobe malfunction at the carnival.
