She worked alongside of models like Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Tyra Banks, Karolina Kurkova, Daniela Pestova, Stephanie Seymour, Laetitia Casta and Karen Mulder.
Being the face for the brand meant that Rivero was used for all catalog work and got to walk in what has become one of the most watched events of the year.
