Lima's history with Victoria's Secret
Adriana Lima is one of Victoria's Secret's most famous collaborators. She has appeared on every Victoria's Secret runway show from 1999, when she made her debut at 17, through 2018.
The one exception was 2009, when she was on maternity leave. Her appearances have made her the longest-running Victoria's Secret model ever.
Lima was promoted to an angel in 2000, enjoying her tenure for almost two decades. She officially retired in 2018, but made her comeback in 2023. "I'm coming home," she said ahead of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2024, as reported by US Weekly.

This year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was a celebration of the brand's long history and cultural power in the mainstream, with a guest list that included stars like Nicole Kidman, Timothee Chalamet, and more. It was also a teaser of what's to come.
The show featured many now-viral moments, including Barbara Palvin's post-partum catwalk, Kylie Jenner's Victoria's Secret debut in the $50 million sparkling Fantasy Bra, and a Gisele Bündchen teaser promising a reunion with the brand.
“Are you ready for the show?” said Bündchen before the show. After, once all the models took the stage for the finale, the video of Bündchen was back, teasing her comeback. “Wasn’t that amazing?” she said. “You are going to be seeing more of me real soon. Ciao!” The years pass, but Victoria's Secret remains as relevant as ever.
