Renowned Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima has renewed her historic achievement on the fashion runway by participating in the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for the 21st time. Another large-scale event by the iconic brand took place on October 18, 2026, in Los Angeles, bringing together legendary angels of past years and new industry stars.

History of cooperation and triumphant return to the runway

The supermodel's long-term relationship with the famous lingerie brand began back in 1999 when she first participated in the show. As early as the following season, the Brazilian officially earned the status of one of the brand's main angels. After two decades of a successful career, she announced the end of her runway performances in 2018, but returned to cooperation six years later, appearing on the runway in 2024, 2025, and 2026.

Striking looks and details of the large-scale show in Los Angeles

At the recent show in Los Angeles, the 45-year-old model showcased two striking outfits to the public. First, she appeared in a bright green lace bodysuit with a deep neckline, complemented by voluminous wings with floral elements. Lima's final appearance took place in a white ensemble with delicate lace details and large decorative wings, which emphasized her status as the main face of the evening.

New records and the brand's return to the West Coast

The 2026 show became the third consecutive one since the large-scale relaunch of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2024. Notably, the show itself took place on the US West Coast for the first time in 19 years. In addition to Adriana Lima, a landmark event of the evening was the participation of Alessandra Ambrosio, for whom this runway appearance for the brand was her twentieth jubilee career milestone.

Significance of the event for the fashion industry

The return of legendary top models to the Victoria's Secret runway marks a new era for the brand, which aims to combine the rich heritage of past decades with modern trends of inclusivity and diversity. Adriana Lima's record demonstrates the longevity of a professional career in high fashion and the preservation of dedication to the iconic show that continues to attract the attention of millions of viewers worldwide.
