Happy Birthday Adriana,

Its been quite a journey with you, I've loved you since I was very young and now as I've grown older and things have changed - like you now are married and have a beautiful little angel named Valentina but one thing remains the same and that is how I will always be your top fan and supporter no matter where life takes us. I love you Adriana and I hope you have a spectacular birthday with your loved ones and I wish you more success and happiness in your life.

XOXO,

Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr and Chanel Iman for Vogue US shot by Peter Lindbergh yesterday

Adriana for V Spain July 2010 shot by Mario Sorrenti

Also the same photo for the cover of V Magazine 66

thank you so much! looks like they photoshopped her areolas out (especially on the left breast).

Hi,

I´m selling my adriana lima clippings collection. 484 clippings in total. If you are interested, click link below

not very fan of those last shoot from vs but thanks anyway

I second that.

Please don't rip me apart for this, but I think Adriana hasn't aged too well.

I mean she was the sexiest model out there when she was younger and I think she outshone everyone else of the vs models with her beauty...

But right now she looks either puffy or leached on photos to me and I think Gisele or other models look way better at higher age (even Heidi, which kind of scares me).

Guess that's some kind of balance, Adriana was super super hot when she was younger, while other models were just hot. And now Adriana is not so hot anymore

while others are still hot...

..I think that she's a bit different now, and I'm trying to understand what's changed ..This is a comparison with an old photo ..maybe it's just a matter of tanned skin? what do you think about?

It's tan skin, plus you guys aren't giving her enough time to have lost all the weight in her face! She gained quite a bit of weight in her face, and hadn't lost it all in that shoot. That shoot was done back in early April. If you guys look at her recent event pics, she's now lost all the weight in her face and she looks like her old self! Plus they didn't do her eyes up in this shoot for some reason. But that's the only difference, was the weight gain and lack of makeup....when other new pics come out which were shot in the last couple months, she'll look like she use to. For comparison look at my avator and etc...that was shot a month or so after the above photos were shot...and obviously she's lost the weight there as well. So NO she looks the same there just with a little weight in her face (which is actually normal after a pregnancy) and less makeup....give the girl a break, like I said if you look at my avatar and her latest event, you can see she looks like she use to and she looks great!

Also fabi...um here are the things that are different in that photo

-Much more makeup

-Wasn't still holding baby weight in her face

-Tanned skin

-Different Lighting

-Different hairstlye

-Different Angle

So I'm sorry but if you look at recent photos of her event (again or my avator) she looks the same as she used to...and she's still Hot...and I'm sorry looks just as good as she did if not better....but maybe not I mean why would she be getting more work now than she ever did...huh Oi.

The lack of makeup in this shoot is atrocious...which is why she's not looking her best...whoever did the lack of makeup that day should be shot. Like I've said before to compare this one bad shoot (which was obviously mostly the makeup artists fault) is hilarious compare it to her recent events, comeback video(s) and her music video she did where she looked like her old self...not to mention all her eds that are coming out..I love the logic of Wow she looks bad here that means she's not hot anymore...let's not even look at the tons of work she did after this shoot and before where she looked better...

I think VS is just doing a bad photoshop job, in some pictures she doesn't have a neck

yes lostsoul you've reason, but I was referring also at pics of 2009 ...but maybe there , the difference was the dark hair ..

That was a special makeup effect dear....look at the other pics from that set, and then the other shots from that mag...there were 2-3 different styling/makeup effects...like her eye makeup.

She should fire her make-up team cuz they CLEARLY aren't doing anything other than applying a bunch of foundation. I mean, seriously, I understand she probably looks like that when she goes to bed, but for a photoshoot? No, no, no. You don't pay thousands of dollars for a make-up team and the results they produce aren't anywhere NEAR as stunning.

For god's sake, becuz of the tan she had for all those years, I always thought Spanky was a naturally light-skinned woman. But, as of recently, she's pulled some kind of Michael Jackson trick cuz now she's pale as hell! Even in her new photos, she's as white as a ghost!

FIRE THE MAKE-UP TEAM, SPANKY! FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!

..I think that she's a bit different now, and I'm trying to understand what's changed ..This is a comparison with an old photo ..maybe it's just a matter of tanned skin? what do you think about?

I also tried to figure out what changed, but I didn't come to any conclusion... I can't nail it down to sth., because her features are really the same...

But I don't think it's the "baby weight" because as Fabirock pointed out she already looked somehow tired in 2009. And I do not believe that more loss of weight would do any good to her, because when I think of her worst look it was her last apperance in VSFS 2008 when she opened the show and she was super skinny back then (and was wearing like a ton of makeup )...

I just feel like her face lost some of its magic.

Somehow tired in 2009? Uh dear she was pregnant most of 2009...and was suffering from preclampsia...of course she was tired.

I'm sorry I don't think this looks tired at all.

And this was during her "tired" period...sorry but all I see is stunning.

Also that photo that Fabri pointed out is from 08 which most people thought was one of her best looking years (the same year your avatar is from btw)

Also you guys are basing this off of VS photos..photos that are styled, photoshopped, and sometimes lack their of or to much makeup....

Base it off of appearances and etc. At the VSFS 2008, she was a little on the thin side, but she turned around and looked great at the appearance 2 weeks after the show...(also most people thought she looked great) Also, I wasn't talking about baby weight on the body, I was talking facially...which she did (when the newest vs shots were shot) needed to still loose a little weight in her face which she has succeeded at. Adriana does tend to hold weight in her face, and if she gains to much she tends to look puffy, if she looses to much she looks to thin...her face gets very affected by any weight loss/gain. If you look at my avatar or the photo below or above, her face is much back to normal, as well as her growing into her cheekbones (that comes with age) and she's fine.

This is her most recent appearance. She doesn't look tired, or etc she looks just like her old self (She is 29, looks younger than ever) and I'm sorry I'm far from seeing any magic gone. Everyone can think anything they want, but IMO you can't base stuff off of one set of VS photos when she has looked flawless ever since her comeback.
