The driver hesitates, admitting he doesn’t know where she lives, prompting Adriana Lima to apologize. "Can you just drop me off at the Victoria's Secret show?" she says with a grin before facing the camera and declaring, "I'm back!"
The video’s caption playfully revealed, "We’ve been keeping a secret, but we just couldn’t anymore!"
Lima's connection with Victoria's Secret spans decades, starting in 2000. She announced her retirement from the brand in November 2018 after two decades, having walked in 18 fashion shows. Reflecting on her final runway moment, Lima shared, “I think this year will be the pinnacle of my career. It's my 18th show, and I'm just as thrilled as I was for my first. Walking the Victoria’s Secret runway is always my favorite.”
In 2019, the brand canceled its iconic annual fashion show—first launched in 1995—after facing criticism for its lack of body diversity. Victoria’s Secret made its comeback in 2021 with the launch of the VS Collective, a new initiative designed to align the brand with the evolving preferences of women.
Lima reappeared at a Victoria’s Secret event in September 2023 to promote "The Tour," the brand’s feature film marking a fresh chapter. The movie spotlights emerging global trailblazers across artistic fields, each forging their paths independently. Speaking with PEOPLE, Lima praised the positive changes, saying, "At 42, as a mom of five, it’s empowering to still be celebrated in the fashion world. It's inspiring for my children and for the next generation of models to know that no matter your stage in life, you can still shine."
