Adriana Lima returned to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway on Oct. 18, 2026, for the 21st time, and her look was a tribute to her home country.
The Brazilian model wore a lime green one-piece with sheer paneling, scalloped edges and cutouts at the sides of her abdomen accented with criss-crossing ribbons, paired with matching green peep-toe heels and angel wings made of branches covered in pale pink flowers.
"My first thought was Brazil," Lima said in a backstage interview with Up Next Designer before the show. "That's my hint about how my look is. I'm really excited. I feel like I'm representing my country."
To prepare for the show, where she made her debut in 1999, Lima said she watched a documentary about Mike Tyson. "That way I can get inspiration from him and focus fully and not get distracted," she explained.
Lima wasn't the only veteran on the runway: Gigi Hadid, Alessandra Ambrosio and Candice Swanepoel also walked. Miranda Kerr, however, sat this one out. A month before the show, Kerr said she had been invited to return but chose not to, writing on Instagram on Sept. 17 that she felt it was right "to cherish this chapter as it was." Kerr, who last walked in 2012, noted that this year marked 20 years since her first show.
