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.”
A month after the Tom Cruise rumors, Katie Holmes has confirmed the truth about their daughter in a rare interview.
Katie Holmes stated in an unusual interview that she want to “protect” the daughter she had with Tom Cruise.
In 2012, after six years of marriage, Holmes and Mission Impossible star Cruise called it quits. Their breakup was well reported.
After the couple’s divorce, which was the subject of many rumors, Holmes retained custody of their daughter, Suri. Holmes has been candid about how little of the now sixteen-year-old has been viewed over time.
Holmes gained notoriety at the age of 19 after landing a role in the teen drama Dawson’s Creek.
In an interview with Glamour Magazine, Holmes stated, “I remember really wanting to grow as an actor and not just do things to capitalize on the moment when we were doing Dawson’s Creek and it was successful.” “I wanted to learn from other people.”
But after she began dating Hollywood A-lister Tom Cruise, the Batman Begins actress hit new heights. The media’s attention in the couple and their family intensified with the birth of their daughter Suri.
The increased scrutiny caused new paparazzi pictures of Tom and Kate’s young daughter to surface almost daily. In response, Katie made the conscious decision to avoid the limelight so as to protect her young daughter’s morals. This resulted in a pause in career that lasted till 2011.
As was previously noted, Tom and Katie split up in 2012, five years after getting married in an Italian ceremony.
Considering that they were two of the most well-known couples on the planet, it would not come as a huge surprise that the rumors went bananas. There was a lot of speculation as to why they broke up, with Holmes being thought to be wary of the Church of Scientology.
Actually, Katie used New York to file for Tom’s divorce. This was purportedly done to improve her chances of being granted sole custody of Suri because the law forbids giving parents who are at odds with one another partial custody of their child.
Once Holmes was given sole custody of the child, she was able to ensure that Suri stayed away from Scientology. Because it was alleged that Tom did not anticipate the divorce, he was unable to control the narrative, as he was accused of doing during his break with Nicole Kidman.
In any case, Holmes’s desperate desire to protect her child doesn’t go away.
Before her most recent film, Rare Objects, debuted, the 44-year-old said:
Since my child was so noticeable when she was a little child, I truly like to protect her, which has been extremely important to me. I feel very lucky to be her mother. She is a very remarkable individual.
The fact that Tom Cruise and his daughter hardly ever interacted was just made public this month. Page Six claims that the 60-year-old Top Gun star is no longer active in Suri’s life and hasn’t seen her in years.
Which do you prefer, Tom Cruise or Katie Holmes? Do you think Katie is acting appropriately by keeping Suri secret from the press?
