Born in 1981 in Salvador, Brazil, to a carpenter father and a social worker mother. Not long after, her parents divorced and she chose to live with her mother—a decision that would change her life, as her mother strongly supported her ambitions. But let’s fast forward a few years and get to 2026. Today, Adriana Francesca Lima is perhaps the most successful Brazilian model. She is best known as a “Victoria’s Secret Angel.” In 2012, she was named one of the richest and most successful models of all time.
👨👩👧👦 Personal Life and Family
The supermodel’s first public relationship was in 2001 with Lenny Kravitz. Their romance ended shortly after, in 2003. Almost immediately afterward, the famous beauty began dating Prince Wenzeslaus of Liechtenstein (2003–2006). That relationship also didn’t last long, and it seems the supermodel decided to take a break from men.
However, in 2009, she married Serbian basketball player Marko Jarić. The two decided to start a family and had two daughters – Valentina (born 2009) and Sienna (born 2012); the couple separated in 2014 due to irreconcilable differences.
Since 2021, she has been with film producer André Lemmers – in 2022, their son Cyan was born. Later, in December 2024, they got married.
Although we’re used to seeing Adriana in lingerie, today’s topic is her outfits. So when it comes to Adriana Lima’s style, I can confidently say she doesn’t have one specific look—because every style suits her. I can’t wait, so let’s dive into it... Besides her undeniable beauty, the model also has an exceptional fashion sense.
I absolutely adore this look on her!!!
She’s simply stunning in this black and white dress by Mugler.
Yes, Adriana is sexy and loves to show it. What impresses me, however, is how delicately and confidently she walks the fine line between elegance and provocation.
Want to see Adriana Lima in a business look?
Although the model loves sexy and feminine dresses, she often surprises her fans with outfits that are unusual for her—like this white suit, which gives her the look of a strict and powerful woman. Adriana has added a tight black top and bold makeup to the suit. Phenomenal!
This is my favorite look of Adriana Lima!
A floor-length white dress by Ralph & Russo. It’s as if this dress was made just for her. The two match so perfectly that I can’t take my eyes off her. The model loves to highlight her perfect figure with bold looks and is not afraid to make multiple fashion statements at once. At the Vanity Fair 2019 party, Adriana wore this white dress by Ralph & Russo, which stands out with both a deep neckline and a sexy thigh-high slit. What can I say—the woman is flawless and can highlight everything at once.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate another one of her looks.
As we mentioned earlier, Adriana Lima loves to draw attention—and this golden dress is perhaps one of her greatest weapons. I won’t even comment on how stunning she looks in it.
We’ve now seen Adriana Lima in sexy and elegant dresses, and even in a business look. Now let me show you one of her street-style outfits.
At first glance, her look may seem chaotic and mismatched, but if we look closely, we’ll see that every detail is carefully chosen. Applause to Adriana—or maybe to her stylists. Doesn’t matter... she just looks cool.
I think it’s now clear to everyone how great Adriana Lima’s fashion sense is. But in the end, clothes are just clothes. What makes her truly unique is her smile, her radiance, and her kind heart. Smile more often—it makes you beautiful!
🤝 Charitable Causes.Maybe some of you don’t know that Adriana is involved in numerous initiatives. One of them is amfAR (American Foundation for AIDS Research) and the Elton John AIDS Foundation, both focused on HIV/AIDS research and advocacy. She also cares deeply about nature. A clear example is her involvement with Habitat for Humanity, an organization focused on environmental sustainability. And if you still think Adriana Lima’s actions are for publicity, you should know she tried for a long time to keep her frequent visits to the "Paths of Light" shelter for abandoned children in Brazil a secret. Of course, I’m sure there are many more good deeds by this smiling charmer that she carefully keeps to herself.
At the age of 15, she won the "Supermodel of Brazil" contest, and a year later, she placed second in the global Ford Models competition.
She was an Angel from 1999 to 2018, the longest-active VS model, and was named “the most valuable Angel” in 2017.
She trains with coach Kirk Meyers through intense routines including boxing and battle ropes.
As a mother of three, she actively balances family and career, inspiring others as a modern model mom.
She is an ambassador for Victoria's Secret, Maybelline, IWC, Puma, and Chopard; she is also active in charity work, including support for shelters in Brazil.
