Adriana Lima, the 44-year-old former Victoria’s Secret Angel, has sparked speculation about possible liposuction after showcasing her slim figure in a teaser for the upcoming brand show.
In the video, Lima poses in lingerie alongside other new “angels” of the brand, with her abdomen appearing notably toned. Viewers took to the comments to express their suspicions, questioning whether she had undergone liposuction to achieve her look. Comments included remarks such as, “Does it seem like she had liposuction?” and “Adriana Lima looks unreal!”
Two years ago, Lima faced criticism for allegedly overusing cosmetic procedures, leading to a look that some fans found unrecognizable. In response to the backlash, she addressed her critics, stating in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar that the changes in her appearance were due to aging and that she had no intention of conforming to anyone’s expectations. Last fall, Lima appeared to regain her previous look, with speculation that she had removed fillers and lost weight.
The new video also features five other Victoria’s Secret Angels, introduced to the public last month: 27-year-old Anok Yai, 39-year-old Lily Aldridge, 37-year-old Joan Smalls, 22-year-old transgender model Alex Consani, and 28-year-old plus-size model Yumi Nu. These models, along with many others, will walk the runway at the brand’s show on October 15 in New York.
It’s worth noting that several years ago, Victoria’s Secret attempted to become more inclusive by featuring models of various body types in their shows and campaigns, which negatively impacted sales. In 2019, the iconic Victoria’s Secret shows were canceled, but after six years, the brand has decided to return to a format that resonates with audiences. Last October, the runway featured Angels and renowned supermodels, including Bella and Gigi Hadid, Kate Moss, and Carla Bruni.
