Adriana Lima At The Victoria’s Secret Catalogue Shoot
August 4th, 2010
Posted by Skinny Gurl
Adriana Lima, a new face to our site, was in St. Bart’s last week doing a photo shoot for the Victoria’s Secret Catalogue. I’m assuming it was part of the same shoot Alessandra Ambrosio was at last week.
Adriana is definitely not my favorite Victoria’s Secret model. She is very average looking, weight wise and regarding her looks. It is interesting how much different her body looks at different angles and poses. And you can obviously see that she is sucking in her stomach in some of the shots. Let’s take a look at some of the different poses -
1) On her knees, with her body upright. This accentuates her muscely and meaty stomach – gross! It also accentuates her large breasts and you can see her thigh muscles. She looks more like a female linebacker in this picture.
2) On her knees, sitting down on her butt with her body leaning backwards and holding herself up with her arms. This pose best suits Adriana. It flattens her stomach and makes it appear much smaller than it really is. She appears about 15 pounds lighter too. This pose also makes her thighs appear smaller than they really are.
3) Crouching down in the water with one leg up and one leg down. Adriana maintains her balance by placing one arm in the sand. She is definitely sucking in her stomach in this picture and it’s obvious. You can see her ribs and she is leaning forward slightly which makes her breats look bigger – just the look the Victoria’s Secret Catalogue is going for. With her one leg out in the water you can see her leg and the size of her thigh.
In all fairness, the picture of Adriana sitting/crouching down are worse than the pictures of her standing up. In some of those pictures she does not look so bad : )
In my opinion, Adriana is average – definitely not my thinspo, but those pictures of her bulging, meaty stomach are going to come in handy for some reverse thinpso. Her stomach grosses me out!
What do you think?

Um… EW.
I agree – it’s clear she works out all the time, but she’s gotten too muscular. Also, she’s just not beautiful, clothing or not. Not exactly encouraging me to buy lingerie.
Boring.
To be fair – she had given birth to her daughter only half a year ago (as far as I know), so of course her body, especially her stomach, looks different.
But on the other hand – why is she already modeling again, when she clearly didn´t lose the pounds she packed on? She must be desperatly needing the money or the media attention, otherwise she would have taken some more time to diet and exercise before going back to work.
At least her stomach is meaty, not flabby, that means she could be back in shape by only losing some pounds.
I´d say, let´s wait whether she does or not!
I couldn’t agree more!
I think you’re being a tad too harsh. I mean, yeah she’s not THIN THIN but shes getting there, I think she looks good.
awww, I kind of love Adriana. definitely not the traditional skinny, but I’ve loved her look and modeling from the beginning. And yes, this is the biggest she’s ever been, but that’s because she’s taken so much time off for her newborn baby. And I think I’ll still love her until she’s skinny again.
Ok a long long time ago (like 10 years ago) I thought she had the most amazing body. Wow things have changed. I know she just had a baby.. but she should lose some more pounds before jumping into these swimsuit shoots… =/
i think shes beautiful and i love the hot pink swimsuit in some of those shots..and in fairness, she did have a kid not too long ago, so give her a break!! childbirth naturally changes your body whether you want it to or not!
I like Adriana a lot… just not her stomach.
This is what happens when you work out a lot but still eat more than you burn.
Yea, Adriana is definitely my reverse thinspo because she appears to have let herself go. She looks like she hasn’t seen a gym in years. I think she would look so hott if she lost at least 10-15 pounds. She’s supposed to be a SUPERmodel…not some average joe off the street.
So she’s not the thinest but—it’s a good thing!
It makes how thin other models are special and if all models looked the same it would make the abbey lee’s less special.
wow what a change I remember seeing pictures of her a while ago and she looked reeaaally thin and lovely, but yeah she is a lot curvier here.
I definitely wouldn’t say “ew” though… she is still a beautiful woman, and it is hard after having a baby to go back to your body the way it was before.
love her face… it’s so exotic and feminine in a feline-tropic way. i do agree on that pregnacy has taken its toll on her lovely body
though she was always a curvier model, but not as bulky as she is now. hope she returns to her old godd self soon
She is gorgeous!!! She can afford to lose 5-10 lbs but you can see that she has a beautiful figure. She just needs to uncover it more by eating less and exercising more. I hope she does!
I think she’s unbelievably, drop-dead, knock out gorgeous!!! It just goes to show you how deep and true her beauty is that no matter her size, she’s stunning. I think her body is perfect. Healthy
I totally disagree with you.
She looks horrible! I bet quite alot of these photos are airbrushed.
She should put her clothes back on and go look after her children.
No, these are raw. The final, airbrushed ones have yet to be published. And it’s CHILD, she only has one. And honestly, she looks amazing for her weight. toned and lump-free everywhere. she’s going to look so good once she’s back to her fighting weight <3
She has plain ordinary looks – nothing special.
psh no offense but she’s probably prettier than you. but hey, don’t worry, she’s prettier than me too. not that that’s any consolation
She’s not emaciated like some SUPERmodels and IMHO she looks great and still has that I don’t give a **** attitude which make the photos awesome!!!
She’s been slimmer but she should get back there soon. I thought the range of poses/bathing suits was great. It really shows how many kgs an unflattering pose can add!
Whoa!
As far as I know she’s never been super skinny, but she’s looking like she’s around 5′ 10” and 147 pounds or something absurd like that.
nope, she was skinny when she just started out in the modelling industry.
She’s going the right way at least, a little longer and I’m sure she’ll be back on form
i completely disagree. your mental image of beautiful is so warped. she’s got a stomach, so what. she’s clearly a healthy weight. she’s leagues from overweight and she’s beautiful!
I’m not trying to be rude or to come off angry toward you, but why are you here if you feel that way?
I think she looks just as fat I do… ugh, makes me want to shrink more!
Her face is gorgeous, and I’ve always loved her but ohmigod her body has changed so much since I remember. It’s obviously good compared to most new mums (flattish stomach, no stretchmarks I can see) but considering she’s a VS model I’m kinda disappointed.
now she looks much betterr, she’s lost a lot of weight
I like the first picture of her.
she have really beautiful face…and now a sexy body for her age and before she had a baby!
i think all the boys like her!
Ugh, I do not like the look of large breasts for some reason.
Maybe cuz they’re just big bags o’fat? (and/or silicone) and i know how some of you gals are about such things
LOL @anonymous bullcock
I think fake boobs are some of the ugliest concoctions in the world. Who would want to ruin a beautiful, natural figure like that? They look surreal, awkward and utterly against nature. Like you’re trying to smuggle cantaloupe halves under that tight dress, or something.
I can’t tell if Adriana has them or not. She’s a new mother in these pictures, and obviously has a different figure.
But of course, we must remember that there are girls – like me, for example (; – that are going to have curves no matter how skinny they get. I used to despair that I’d never be able to pull off the waif-chic look of so many high fashion models, but have learned to love mini hourglasses. <3
Its funny how most of these models say that their thinness is natural and then when they take time off from modelling, they blow up or look avg.
tell me about it..
it makes me smile (sarcastically)
She told Elle magazine, that she does eat the occasional cheeseburger. This shows how much of that hamburger got to her.
i can see why your saying she’s gained weight. but to say she’s AVERAGE?! this girl has the most beautiful face! her eyes are so beautiful. i’d rather look like her then extremely underweight with an ugly face! shame on you.
I agree completley
She looks fierce n stunning but obviously gain tons..thats sad cuz she used 2b my inspiration
she’s curvy.
Not to sound rude but her body is AMAZING it isnt super skinny (which looks gross if its not natural) and she actually has nice curves. Plus shes probably hotter than all of you combined.
Just stating the truth
Yeah, she could lose a few. Though she’s not so bad, I guess.
From memmory, Adriana was much thinner then these pics, maybe she’s been on a well deserved holiday!
She is still beautiful, I wish my hair was as long as hers!
disgusting. this is not good for v s
