Adriana Lima Makes Stunning Comeback at Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show After Six-Year Hiatus
Adriana Lima made a dazzling return to the Victoria’s Secret fashion show this week, wowing fans after a six-year retirement. During the runway event, the 43-year-old Brazilian supermodel showcased her chiselled features in a striking red baby doll dress and angel wings.
Lima decided to come out of retirement to “prove she still has it” and send a message to her critics following negative comments about her appearance at a recent Hunger Games premiere.
A source shared with DailyMail.com, “Adriana has had to be committed to other things in life. But she missed doing the job she has loved forever.” The source added that Lima aims to demonstrate her enduring beauty and resilience despite the trolling she faced.
Last November, Lima responded to speculation about plastic surgery, emphasising that she is a “tired mum of five.” She shares daughters Valentina, 14, and Sienna, 12, with ex-partner Marko Jaric and a two-year-old son, Cyan, with boyfriend Andre Lemmers.
Fans expressed their excitement following her runway appearance, with one writing, “She woke up and remembered she was a Victoria’s Secret angel.” Others defended her, reminding critics that she had recently been pregnant.
Lima’s decision to return follows a challenging year in which her looks were scrutinized after she attended a premiere for The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes in a black mini-dress.
Despite her glamorous outfit, comments about her appearance dominated social media, with trolls questioning what she had done to her face.
In response to the negativity, Lima shared a makeup-free photo on her Instagram, stating, “The face of a tired mom of one teenage girl, two preteens, a one-year-old learning to walk, and three dogs. Thanks for your concern.” She has previously expressed a desire for people to focus on her mind and spirit rather than her physical appearance, sharing teachings from spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
Lima joined Victoria’s Secret in 1999 and became an official Angel the following year. She was the brand’s longest-serving model and was named “the most valuable Victoria’s Secret Angel” in 2017—her retirement announcement in November 2018 shocked fans after nearly two decades with the brand.
This year’s Victoria’s Secret show featured other high-profile models, including Gigi Hadid, Kate Moss, and Ashley Graham. Notably, Tyra Banks made a spectacular return to the runway after 19 years, showcasing her iconic style with oversized pink feathery wings. Kate Moss chose a more understated look, pairing lace lingerie with a delicate dress.
