Adriana Lima, the ex-wife of Serbian former professional basketball player Marko Jaric, is in the spotlight for her appearance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2024 after six years.
She gained some weight after the birth of her third child but shined through the fashion show with her slimmer body.
Highlights
- Adriana Lima was trolled and body-shamed but left her bullies shocked, displaying her slim figure once again in Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2024.
- She gained weight during her third pregnancy with her third child and gave birth in August 2022.
- She has two daughters from her previous marriage with Serbian former basketball player Marko Jaric.
Adriana had won many beauty pageants in elementary school but never thought about being a model. Later, she won Ford’s “Supermodel of Brazil” model search at 15.
She relocated to New York City and signed with Elite Model Management.
In September 1997, Adriana made her runway debut at Anna Sui‘s New York Fashion Week show, followed by designers like Giles Deacon, Emanuel Ungaro, Giorgio Armani, John Galliano, Ralph Lauren, and many more.
She walked her first Victoria’s Secret runway in 1999 and her final show in November 2018.

Adriana has openly discussed her struggles, emotional challenges, and the realities of postpartum weight loss.
Also, she talked about accepting the changes and the daily challenge of exercising every day during the transitional postpartum period.
Every day I have to remind myself that, ‘Listen, accept who you are. Accept your body.’ It’s a transitional body right now because I had a baby. So you just created life. It’s such a big blessing. Every body has a different reaction with pregnancy and post-pregnancy.
Adriana embraced her postpartum body.
However, Adriana left her bullies shocked with her mesmerizing runway walk at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. She performed twice in the fashion show, again displaying her stunning slim body figure.
Her first checker-striped outfit featured a black bra and panty set with high-waisted checker-striped pants and a matching long-sleeved cut-out top over a shimmering bra and underwear set with crisscross wrap detailing around her torso.
Likewise, her second runway look was a red-hot nightie with a sweetheart neckline. It was completed with wrap-around strappy sandals with fringe detailing.
Furthermore, Adriana was renowned for her intense workout routine and diet before the fashion show.
She has talked about going on an extreme diet, consuming only protein shakes for nine days, and cutting all liquids for the last 12 hours before the runway to achieve a lean look.
However, the Brazilian supermodel shifted towards a balanced diet and body acceptance after her third child. She emphasizes being healthy is more important than fitting into preconceived beauty standards.
Previously, she married Marko Jaric on Valentine’s Day 2009 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, but announced their separation after five years of marriage on May 2, 2014.
They have two daughters, Valentina and Sienna.
