Adriana Lima's 9 most bombshell bikini moments as she turns 45

Adriana made her Victoria's Secret runway debut in 1999 at the brand's fifth annual fashion show. She wore a floral printed two piece, including a ruffled floral skirt, accessorized with a leafy headpiece.

A year after she handed over her Victoria's Secret wings, Adriana posed on Instagram in a sultry, low cut one piece swimsuit by Puma while lounging on the beach. She paired the look with several boho-bracelets and a simple gold necklace

In February 2011, Adriana posed with another longtime Victoria's Secret Angel, Candice Swanepoel, 37, to show off the brand's newest t-shirt bra. The models grew up in the industry together and are now both moms navigating their careers while raising children.

For her Mother's Day in 2020, Adriana celebrated by soaking up vitamin D on a cozy outdoor lounge at her Haulover Park home in Florida. She wore a bright and tiny animal print orange bikini for the occasion. The then mom-of-two enjoyed a mouthwatering lobster meal paired with Perrier-Jouët champagne before participating in a TikTok challenge with her daughters.

"Celebrating not only mother’s but every woman because every single one of us are naturally born with the motherly instinct," she wrote. "For all the woman driven by the heart .... HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MY UNIVERSAL SISTERS."

Adriana showed off her abs as she walked the runway during the 2016 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show at the Grand Palais in Paris wearing an iconic purple look paired with blue dragon fly wings and thigh high yellow boots.

When she was just 21, Adriana walked the runway during the 2002 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York City. The model wore a beige, delicate, and lacy set accessorized with diamonds covering her chest and a small diamond belly button ring.

For her 10th year as a VS Angel, the Brazilian model wore the $2 million fantasy bra by Damiani. Each year since 1996, the model chosen to wear the fantasy bra was honored with a special moment on the runway.

From Tyra Banks to Miranda Kerr, it's a VS Angel's biggest goal. In 2010, the fantasy bra was designed to "evoke a heavenly display of swirling stars and constellations, took six Damiani jewelers 1,500 hours to complete, and featured 3,000 white diamonds, blue sapphires and oval-shaped topazes set in 18-karat white gold.

Adriana wore the fantasy bra three times throughout her career, tying with Heidi Klum for the record of the most times an Angel has been chosen to showcase the jeweled piece.

In 2005, Adriana strutted down the runway in a teal set. The ultra low rise bottoms hugged her hips while long teal pieces of fabric billowing behind her.

Six years after hanging up her wings, Adriana made a surprise comeback to walk the revived runway show in 2024 and walked once again in the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, hitting her milestone 20th appearance.

Throughout her career, the model's opened the legendary show five times.
