Adriana Lima

[Party_Vixen]

Can't believe she was 13 in those pictures! She looks atleast 17. When I was at that age I looked like a baby and acted like one . She's always been such a beautiful girl.

Have to agree with whomever said she doesn't look a day over 23.

Adriana Lima

Age: 24 Nationality: Brazilian Where you've seen her: That Victoria's Secret commercial during which Bob Dylan sells out horribly; Guess ads. Star asset: Plump lips Requisite plucked-from-obscurity story: She began her escape from the city of Salvador after entering the 1996 Ford Supermodel of Brazil contest at age fourteen. She later moved to New York and signed with Elite. Number of inches taller than you she is if you're the average American male: .5 Creepy eBay item: "SEXY *** BUTTS ADRIANA LIMA WALL CLOCK" $14.99. No bids. Inane model quote: "Modeling is a tough job." Reason, aside from the obvious, to love her: On second thought, we'll stick with the obvious. Chances she might add the actor hyphenate to her title: High. She appeared in the BMW short film The Hire: Follow with Mickey Rourke, and her name was mentioned as a possibility to play Wonder Woman on the big screen.

When we met up with Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima at the unveiling of Victoria's Secret's new BioFit Uplift bra, she admitted she was temperamental when it came to deciding what to wear each day. "I'm a Gemini. So, it depends on my mood when I wake up," she tells mystyle. "Sometimes I want to be flirty so I wear cute little dresses. Sometimes I just want to be casual and I wear regular jeans and a white T-shirt."

In fact, the only thing consistent is her need to switch things up. Though she adores stilettos ("I only wear four inches and above"), she never leaves home without her Havaianas. "Because I'm from Brazil, I always carry flip flops in my bag." The Angel's favorite style of underwear? "If I wear something tight, I prefer the smallest pair you can find. But if I wear a dress, I prefer to wear boy shorts—something lacy," she says.

Extra things
Louis Vuitton luggage is the most expensive thing Adriana owns $2,150.
Adriana sprays Evian on her face to look fresh; $10.

I LOVE that she doesn't spend loads of money...even when she has tons

 

[LadyChambord]

I also use Evian and I have to say it worths each cent.

thanks m.j..

i still think Adriana is very,very beautiful. She used to be one of my favourite models but she's turned into too much of a goofball which is unattractive IMO. Just look at her performance @ VS in 2006,2007 ( all the pointing at the cameras-YES ADRIANA YOU'RE ON TV, giggling & over-the-top handgestures); compare it to her VS performance in 2005; she was a TOTALLY different model, there. she was so confident & sexy & sultry & i her walk there, too.

I want that Lima back

Now she just seems so ...

Well she was the crowds favorite by far...most of the models when you here the cheering you can clearly see it was edited in because no one is clapping. But when Adriana comes out you can actually see people screaming, yelling whistling, and clapping. She was by far the crowd favorite, and she was giving it her all. Personally I love her because of that, she was energetic and fun...and that's her personality, she never was a serious runway model...she's goofy, happy and funny. That's just her personality, and the general public loves her for it. Plus she was probably adding to her energy because Marko was in the audience and she was most likely happy because of that also.

Delurking (Again!) because someone said that Adriana never appeared in any Intimissimi adds. She most certainly has!

I believe these pics have been posted before in this thread, but Im posting them again:

Yes, but what Candy was saying is that she wasn't before VS and Int were together. Those were back circa 1999 I believe, so they were way before the two joined forces

 

[unwrapmypackage]

Man, how I love this woman.

Thank you for the massive amount of pictures, guys. Keep them coming.

 

[LaVitaEbella29]

Adriana is absolutely gorgeous. She is and always will be my favorite model, and I wanted my first post to be in her thread.
Thanks for all the pics!

Yep I feel the same. I love her sparkly personality so much but on the runway she is overdoing it, it's not even a runway walk... I loved her the most in the 2005 fashion show too.. it was my favorite one
So that's imo.

 

[CoutureChic]

You guys also have to keep in mind guys the girls were asked to act outrageous and over the top in most of the segments of the show...it wasn't only her. Re-watch the show and you can see a lot of models do over the top stuff compared to their last runway show with VS, maybe it wasn't as over the top as Adriana, but she's always been happy and up beat on the runway so to add to that...So to combine her bubbly personality plus what they were telling her to do...it's what you got. Most of the other girls were messing around too.

As far as I'm concerned, she was the crowd favorite by far, and she had fun. So she was happy the crowd was happy...IMO she just did her job.

That's not the point i'm trying to make. All i'm saying, & i'm sure you'd even agree, was that her performance in 2005 was completely different from her performances at VS today...which is why she is no longer one of my favourite..& i personally don't find that behaviour she does "sexy".

She was sooooooooooooooo sexy in 2005. Like..all i could say was wow. She looked so awful in the 06 & 07 show,IMO.

 

[CoutureChic]

Well I'll agree her performance wasn't the best, in 2007..but she looked fantastic in 2007, she looked almost back to the way she did in 2003. The long dark hair, the killer body...IMO she looked fantastic.

Her body was the pretty much the sam in those two years, just keep in mind the lighting, the hair color, the outfits, and her skin color was a lot different, which determines how she looks in photos. Now if you compare videos of the two she looks great in both, with the few details changed. Keep in mind, bronzer, lighting, and makeup can make a model look totally different, and Adriana is very diverse in that way.

But this is just my opinion like you have yours
