The truth behind Adriana Lima's return to Victoria's Secret Show after six-year retirement

As I gaze upon the life of Adriana Lima, a woman who juggles the responsibilities of a mother to five children and three dogs, while maintaining her status as a top fashion model, I am reminded of my own humble existence. I too have faced criticism for not always looking my best, but let me tell you, the life of a parent is one that leaves little time for makeup or perfect selfies.


As a passionate devotee, I stepped back onto the runway for the Victoria’s Secret Show 2024, eager to demonstrate that my magic is as potent as ever. My return was also intended to deliver a powerful message to those who sought to bring me down with their unkind words last year, after I fell prey to the cruelty of internet trolls.

On Monday, the Brazilian model, now 43, declared her exciting return to the lingerie company, a move that comes six years following her unexpected exit in 2018.

It is said that she was pressured to make a comeback for the label’s debut show following allegations that she had significantly altered her appearance, leaving many fans puzzled by her changed look at a Hunger Games premiere event the previous year.

Apart from desiring a response to her critics, she was equally keen on returning to a job that she’s cherished for an extended period.

A source shared with DailyMail.com that Adriana has been occupied with other responsibilities, yet she deeply missed pursuing the work she cherished dearly.

She’s determined to show that her talent hasn’t waned, as the backlash she faced about her appearance was immense. With this return, she aims to convey a powerful statement to those who have criticized her.

Adriana has a 14-year-old daughter named Valentina who she shares with her former partner Marko Jaric, as well as a 2-year-old son named Cyan with her current boyfriend Andre Lemmers.

As a devoted follower, I’m eagerly anticipating my comeback, with the hope that it will not only inspire me but also convey a powerful, optimistic message to my beloved children.

They added: ‘She wants to make an impact and to show her kids that you should never let the haters have their day. She’s excited to bring it.

If she has an opportunity to repay something that has been good to her before, it’s not just a win for her, but also a double advantage.

In 1999, Adriana joined the Victoria’s Secret brand and was soon promoted to the esteemed position of an Angel within the brand, a year later.

Later, she astonished followers when she declared her departure from the brand in November 2018, marking almost twenty years of service.

Astonishment swept through the fashion industry only a year after, as the tradition dating back to 1995, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, was discontinued following criticism that it failed to represent various body types.

At the Los Angeles premiere of The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes in November, Adriana was compelled to refute rumors that she had facial surgery, as fans raised questions about her altered appearance.

Plastic surgeons shared their expert opinions on the surgeries that might explain her drastically altered look.

After observing online conversations, the supermodel responded sarcastically, expressing her gratitude towards critics for their expressed ‘worry’.

In a simple, natural way: ‘This photo is of a mother who’s exhausted from raising a teenage daughter, two pre-teens, an energetic boy, and a one-year-old learning to walk, as well as three lively dogs. She added this message to her makeup-free selfie on Instagram as a thank you for your thoughtfulness.’

Multiple individuals rallied to her support, viewing her reaction to critiques on her appearance as an authentic portrayal of a mother’s daily struggles – balancing child-rearing duties with managing the household – as both moving and recognizable.

On a recent social media post, Adriana revealed that she would be returning to the much-awaited Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, as shown in a video she shared on Monday.

Dressed in a classy dark suit, the fun clip showed her hailing down a taxi in New York City.

When the driver asked, ‘Where too?’ Adriana responded: ‘I’m going home.’

The taxi driver, showing a distinct New York City accent, questioned the well-known fashion model about their residence in a less than subtle manner.

‘Oh, I’m sorry,’ she responded, before asking: ‘Can you drop me off at the Victoria’s Secret show?’

Adriana then looked straight towards the camera to proclaim: ‘I’m back.’

‘Hey, we’ve been keeping a secret, but we just can’t do it anymore!’ the video’s caption read.

The promotion went on to say, ‘Adriana Lima is stepping back onto the catwalk – what a relief, we can breathe easier now.’

Preparations for the lingerie showcase of the year got underway early on Tuesday afternoon.

Gigi Hadid and Barbara Palvin were some models who posted photos from the hair and makeup stations while preparing to stride down the catwalk.

Additionally, Adriana posted sneak peeks from backstage on her Instagram, displaying her trendy baby pink nail polish as she sipped coffee.

Another picture showed her sat in the make-up chair in front of a table covered in beauty products. 

At the event, you’ll witness iconic supermodels like Jasmine Tookes, Candice Swanepoel, and Tyra Banks strutting their stuff on the catwalk, with the inimitable Cher taking the stage for a spectacular performance.
