Adriana Lima, a true runway legend, left her mark on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2024, where she made her long-awaited return. At 43, the Brazilian proves that age does nothing to diminish the power and magic she brings to every catwalk appearance.
For this special edition, she dazzled the audience with two bold looks. Her first appearance in crystallized black lingerie, paired with checkered tights and iridescent wings, recalled her iconic style. Later, she joined the stage dressed in fiery red during Cher's performance, perfectly embodying the brand's renewal.
This return symbolizes far more than just a runway show for Adriana, whose career with Victoria's Secret began in 1999. After a six-year hiatus and a departure in 2018 that moved her fans, she returns to the spotlight at a time when the brand is redefining itself. Victoria's Secret now champions a new vision, one of inclusivity, celebrating all women regardless of age or background.

Before stepping back on stage, Adriana told People that she was both "excited and nervous" at the thought of wearing her wings again. She added with emotion: "This is where it all started for me, and I never thought I'd come back. It's incredible." A sentiment shared by her former colleagues, some of whom have been there since her beginnings, making the evening particularly nostalgic and intimate.
