How Adriana Lima Really Feels About Returning to Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 6 Years After Exit  – JP

For Adriana Lima, it’s good to be back. 

The Brazilian supermodel, who was a fixture of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show until 2018, detailed how it felt to return to the catwalk for the brand’s first event since 2019. 

“I’m so excited to be back in New York City for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show,” Adriana gushed in an exclusive E! News interview ahead of the event. “It’s so exciting because this is where everything started for me back in 1999. I don’t know. It’s insane—it’s crazy.”

And the 43-year-old—who shares daughters Valentina, 14, Sienna, 12, with ex Marko Jaric and son Cyan, 2, with boyfriend Andre Lemmers—shared that she only felt the good kind of nerves leading up to the big show. 

“I could not sleep last night,” she admitted. “My head was just going, going, going out of excitement. I know exactly where all the cameras are on the runway—so I was thinking, what I’m gonna do, where I’m gonna look. I was just imagining that.”
