Adriana Lima Hangs Up Her Wings

Adriana Lima Hangs Up Her Wings

Supermodel Adriana Lima beautifully retired from Victoria's during the 2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. At the time that the show aired, I had no idea that Victoria's Secret would stop the annual lingerie runway show altogether as announced in 2019. Perhaps Adriana Lima just had a very strong instinct about the future of Victoria's Secret or perhaps she had some inside information. Either way, she elegantly made a fabulous exit from Victoria's Secret as she retired from the mega-lingerie giant.

No other model in the history of Victoria's Secret has opened and closed more Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows than Adriana Lima. For 19 consecutive years she has been the most admired model in the famous brand's annual show not just because of her Brazilian goddess physical beauty, but because of her personality that just seems to reach out to her fans embracing each and every one of them with love, acceptance and now empowerment. She has made some recent public statements as a believer in female empowerment as she moves forward with her modeling career with more of a focus on this specific meaningful purpose.

Although Adriana Lima walked in a segment just to honor her VS Angel retirement after two decades of dedicated ambassadorship, her final runway walk in a traditional segment is perhaps more noteworthy. Her hair in a new mid-length cut is quite flattering for this matured model. The Brazilian goddess wears a sexy, black lace teddy with crescent moon-shaped wings which seemed well matched to the music and the moment. We all love her spunky personality that always shines through especially when she is grooving to the beat on the runway.

2017 VSFS: Jasmine Tookes (Punk Angels Segment)



2017 VSFS: Jasmine Tookes (Punk Angels Segment)

Before I jump into blogging about the most recent Victoria's Secret fashion show that just aired on CBS earlier this month, let me devote some time to catch up a bit and showcase one of the most irresistible moments from the 2017 VSFS that was filmed in Shanghai, China. The first segment was obviously co-designed by the current edgy Balmain head designer, Olivier Rousteing, which in itself is not just mind-boggling but jaw-dropping as well.

Even though Candice Swanepoel opened the segment and the show with the presence of a true angel (superbly returning from maternity-leave in excellent shape), it was Jasmine Tookes who closed out this first segment clothed in an ensemble that made you really appreciate the blurred lines between high-end fashion and affordable, sexy lingerie. Jasmine literally "rocked it" on the runway wearing the best rocker bustier outfit of the segment with some fabulous wings! Those heart-shaped rocker wings with the safety pin details ... my, my, my [drool]!

English singer and songwriter, Harry Styles performs his single "Kiwi" for the Punk Angel Segment and even though I am not personally familiar with him, it proved to be a strong opening performance. I am sure this solid performance increased his popularity world-wide. Such enormous exposure for this talented Englishman who rocked the VS Runway in Shanghai!

VSFS 2015: Candice Swanepoel (Ice Angels Segment)

Candice Swanepoel opens the Ice Angels Segment of the 2015 Victoria's Secret fashion show! What a delight!


Looks like the bodysuit she is wearing is adorned with beautiful, sparkling crystals. The way that she entered the stage with that sexy hip bounce sent chills up my spine. There truly is something completely magical about the South African beauty. The performing artist, Ellie Goulding, watched Candice strut her stuff in complete appreciation of her beauty as she sang a beautiful live version of "Love Me Like You Do" which is featured in the sexy film "Fifty Shades of Grey."


"You're the light, you're the night.
You're the color of my blood.
You're the cure, you're the pain.
You're the only thing I wanna touch."

~Lyrics from "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding



"You're the fear, I don't care.
'Cause I've never been so high.
Follow me to the dark.
Let me take you past our sateliites."

~Lyrics from "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding



"Fading in, fading out.
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find.
Only you can set my heart on fire."

~Lyrics from "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding



"I'll let you set the pace.
'Cause I'm not thinking straight.
My head spinning around I can't see clear no more."

~Lyrics from "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding
