Supermodel Adriana Lima is one of Victoria’s Secret‘s most legendary Angels, earning her wings in 2000. The Brazilian beauty will walk in her 19th Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 15, 2024, at the age of 43, proving she’s still the queen of the lingerie catwalk.

Adriana was one of the brand’s earliest Angels, and walked their runway exclusively through 2009, when she returned to high fashion, walking in Givenchy’s fall 2009 presentation at Paris Fashion Week.

Over the years, Adriana has welcomed three children, and has become more stunning with age, as her transformation photos show.
