The Brazilian supermodel returned to the runway at 43, unveiling a “slim” body transformation for the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Adriana Lima’s appearance at the October 15, 2024, Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was one of the highlights of the night. After retiring in 2018 following almost 20 years with the lingerie giant and welcoming her third child in 2022, she captivated the audience with her new look, which fans were quick to point out and praise.
Lima first announced her retirement in 2018 at the age of 37. In an Instagram post, which has since been deleted, she reflected on her long career 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.
While discussing her final 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.”
