The Brazilian supermodel made a comeback on the runway at the age of 43, showing off her “slim” body transformation for the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Adriana Lima’s appearance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 15, 2024, was one of the best moments of the night. After retiring in 2018, after nearly 20 years with the lingerie brand, and having her third child in 2022, she amazed the crowd with her new look, which fans quickly noticed and praised.
Lima first shared her retirement in 2018 at the age of 37. In an Instagram post, which she has since deleted, she reflected on her long time with the brand. “Dear Victoria, thank you for showing me the world, sharing your secrets, and most importantly not just giving me wings but teaching me to fly,” she wrote.
When talking about her last walk, Lima told People, “This has been my 18th fashion show, and I am still as excited as I was from the first day. I think this year is going to be the highlight of my career.”
After leaving modeling, she was only seen at some events and on social media. In a TikTok video from February 2022, Lima shared that she was pregnant with her third child, her first with partner Andre Lemmers.
By April, the couple released a gender reveal video, announcing that a boy would join Lima’s daughters from her previous marriage, Valentina and Sienna. Her son, Cyan, was born in August 2022.
During her pregnancy, the retired supermodel looked amazing in stylish maternity outfits at important events, like the 75th Cannes Film Festival in May 2022. Wearing a mustard gown from Nicolas Jebran, she proudly showed off her baby bump on the red carpet, and while she looked great, it was different from her usual slimmer figure.
Fast forward to 2023, Lima attended the Venice International Film Festival in a Pinko gown with a plunging neckline and gold accents. At this event, her fuller face and body were still noticeable.
A few months later, the supermodel went to the Mon Cheri Barbara Tag event in Munich, Germany, in December 2023. She wore a form-fitting gray gown by Donna Karan and looked like she was losing her previous weight.
However, her October 2024 runway appearance showed her full transformation. During the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Brooklyn, Lima wowed the crowd not just with her outfits but also with her youthful appearance. A backstage photo captured her glowing skin and tight facial features.
Once ready, Lima hit the runway wearing a checker-striped outfit with a black bra and high-waisted pants, topped with a long-sleeved cut-out top for her first look. Her grunge-style angel wings added a cool touch to the outfit.
For her second appearance, she wore a red lace nightie with sparkling wings that showcased her renewed energy. This moment reminded everyone of her younger days as an angel for the brand, and fans quickly expressed their admiration for her physical change on social media.
One fan said, “She’s lost so much weight. She’s back .” Another wrote, “SHE LOOKS GREAT HER SLIM BODY IS BACK. GREAT JOB. I LIKE THIS OUTFIT TOO.”
Kiya Cole, the mother of actress Skai Jackson, added, “She worked hard in the gym this past year! I was a witness. No quick fix for her!” Another commenter expressed, “She is back with a vengeance, love her.”
Fans were also happy to see the show featuring a variety of healthier bodies, like Lima’s. One commented, “These bodies look healthier, and I like that, in different sizes but healthy, good for VS.”
Woman Marks 100th Birthday Solo Until Man from Her Past, Unseen for 60 Years, Shows Up at Her Door
On her 100th birthday, Miranda found herself alone, having outlived all her friends and loved ones. As she prepared to blow out the candles on her birthday cake, a surprise visitor arrived, someone she hadn’t seen in six decades.
Miranda sat quietly at her kitchen table, reflecting on a life filled with historical changes and personal achievements. She had chosen her nursing career over marriage and children, and though some had predicted she would regret it, she felt at peace with her choices. Her life had been full, and while loneliness touched her from time to time, she was content.
On this particular birthday, the solitude felt especially poignant. She reminisced about past celebrations and the joy they brought. But her introspection was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. Startled, she shuffled to answer it, wondering who could be visiting.
To her surprise, a man in his 60s or 70s stood at her doorstep, looking at her with a familiar yet distant smile. He introduced himself as Adrian Miller, a name that sparked distant memories for Miranda.
Adrian revealed that he had been one of her patients many years ago, a young boy battling cancer. Despite the dire prognosis at the time, Miranda and her team had provided hope and care, and Adrian had made a miraculous recovery. Over the years, Miranda had kept in touch with his family, but they had lost contact after moving away.
Seeing Adrian now, all grown up, was a profound moment for Miranda. The encounter filled her with a deep sense of joy. They spent hours reminiscing and catching up, with Adrian showing her pictures of his life, his family, travels, and achievements.
Miranda felt overwhelmed with happiness, realizing that the impact of her work had not only touched lives but had also come full circle with this unexpected reunion. The birthday that had started in solitude ended with a meaningful connection, reminding her of the lasting effect of compassion and care.
