Adriana Lima ahead of her 21st Victoria's Secret show: 'I'm back'

Victoria's Secret has published a video titled "Angel on the Spot: Adriana Lima" on its YouTube channel. It is part of the brand's build-up to the Fashion Show on 18 October in Los Angeles. Lima's participation was confirmed by the brand on social media on 28 September. In a clip shared at the time, she said, according to Fashion Times: "I'm back and I'll see you in L.A." The brand called her "the icon of all icons".

Lima has worked with Victoria's Secret since 1998, first walked the show in 1999 and became an Angel in 2000. She bid farewell to the runway with a tribute in 2018. When the show returned in 2024 after a six-year break, Lima was back; the brand described the 2025 edition as her 20th show, making Los Angeles her 21st.

Lima is also a face of the brand away from the runway: in February she fronted the campaign for the VS Signature line together with Candice Swanepoel, photographed by Carlijn Jacobs. According to Just Jared, Swanepoel is also among the confirmed models for Los Angeles, alongside Gigi Hadid, Ashley Graham and Alex Consani, among others. The show will stream live on YouTube.
