Adriana Lima VS Show 2018
The 2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be Adriana Lima's last. The VS Angel, who has repped the lingerie brand for 20 years, announced her retirement on Instagram this evening during the taping of this year's runway extravaganza.
The model earned a standing ovation for her final walk down the VS catwalk, which was just as emotional as we expected. Instead of classic wings, Lima wore a white feathered fan-like piece on her back with a sheer sequin top, pale blue underwear, and matching feathered Brian Atwood heels.

She placed her hands on her heart and bowed her head in gratitude when she reached the end of the catwalk, and appeared to be fighting back tears as the crowd cheered her on.
In an earlier look from the show, Lima donned a black low-cut leotard and booties with a set of glittery moon and stars on her back.
