i love the dress itself but i dont like what it does for her figure...but she still looks beautiful and happy

 

[AbbeyRoad]

I agree about the dress...not her best choice. But her complexion is SO flawless, I would kill for skin like hers! Her hair also looked very sleek and shiny!
I thought something when I saw these pics: her lips do not look as big. Maybe all those pics of her in VS are highly airbrushed (of her lips)? Some people think she has had collagen injections in her lips, but in these photos they look not so big at all! 100% natural.

good observation re: her lips! and def. agree about her skin! flawless! her face is ALWAYS fabulous! who is the african (american?) model with her?

LOL, adriana looks like a working girl working the street corner.

My favorite pictures of her are the candids...her natural beauty is just...wow

Adriana Lima is a kind of Larger-than-life model, one who when she walks the runways the audience focus on her and not on the clothes she models, that's why she's not good in the runways (unless for VS). Cindy, Claudia, Tyra, Heidi and Petra are in this category.

Models like Dewi, Carmen Kass, Hana S, Natasha Poly are great runway stars. They disappear in the runway and they show off the clothes really well.

I also think you'd be a lot more likely to find poster's of the first group of girls you mentioned on a teenage boy's bedroom wall.

actually i agree with this! my favorites are definitely candids. and then her editorials. i'm not a big fan of her VS work...or anyone's VS work for that matter

some are good, but most are just meh imo.

that's a really good point and works particularly well for the fashion industry. of course on a higher level, it's really rather disturbing that some girls just "disappear" on the runway...as though they have no life force, personality, or energy whatsoever.
