Adriana saying Ana is her ONLY friend LoL throwing shade
Is it possible for someone to get any information about Adriana’s Maybelline contract? Maybelline removed her name from some of their websites , she is no longer listed as maybelline girl on some countries official maybelline websites. And she recently unfollowed Maybelline on insta.
Hailey Baldwin paying respect to Adriana and Gisele. Atleast she is honest about the situation with the industry now and how social media and stuff is why models of today gets jobs
That gossip ig page, deuxmoi, the same from the Weeknd rumor, posted a story from people seeing celebs around today, or yesterday I believe, about her being spotted at the Carbone restaurant with friends. No pictures, so take it with a grain of salt.
hopefully adriana will make a return to work soon because she wasn't even at this fashion week but people kept bringing her up. Its clear people are def ready to see more of her again. Like its crazy on twitter and on some IG confession accounts how much people are talking about her being reminiscent, she isn't even there and on people's minds
She is posting a lot about being at her office at home...Do you guys know what she is working so much in?

Maybe sometimes it is just her own personal things not work related? I recall last time she posted that, there was just a covid vaccine article on her desk. What do we know if she does private business not related to fashion as well.
Saw a TikTok video about the top 10 highest paid models of 2020 and Adriana ranked 9th. But dont think it was true though. Do Forbes still release a list?

No they didn't....2018 was the last time it was made and I think Adriana may have been like number 6 or something
But no, they did not count 2020 especially not in light of covid, and they didn't count 2019 neither.
EDIT: LMAO also, Gisele isn't even on that list. Gisele is always on that list. Def a fake list lol
@Souled-Out Didnt see the video but maybe Gisele wasnt listed because most of what she makes isnt even from modeling. I recall when Forbes would release those lists, Adriana was one of the few you could say got most of the numbers reported from just modeling. But yeah Forbes hasn't reported numbers since 2018. So those numbers are not recent.

Yeah but its always been that way, like when she was number 1 with 47 million, the least it was from was modelling at that point. I think whoever made that, just combined alot of popular models and some numbers lol. Because Rosie was above Adriana, which has never been the case and its because her career isn't that extensive.
@Souled-Out Yeah i recall she would get ranked 1, but that ranking system was messed up I think because it wasn't even modeling for most the top ranked that got on the list. Prob also why you say Rosie was above Adriana at one point.
Watches and Wonders (formerly SIHH) 2021 will take place digital platform between 7-13 April, participant brands will be represented by their brand ambassadors as influential personalities. A few days later, there will be a physical event in Shangai with lesser brands but IWC will be there with some of their brand ambassadors.
Since this year will be completely different than usual, IWC and other brands have started to do promotional photoshoots and videos for online exhibition, i have no idea if Adriana has done anything yet but i saw other iwc ambassadors already started to promofion for exhibition and shared bts of shootings.

It’s like Déjà vu. Same thing happened with Maybelline, even pregnant maybelline girl aka Gigi Hadid did promotional things but Adriana didn’t do anything. Now pregnant Karolina managed to work for IWC but no Adriana...
I seriously can’t wait.
Adriana's career fell off so hard. It is unacceptable! We can't even blame covid because Irina, for example, is booked and busy! I think it was a big mistake to work as her own representation because (as terrible as this sounds) Adriana is ageing, her looks have changed, and she needs to shift her focus dramatically. She did not capitalise on her social clout enough when she was active and so there is no "brand" to speak of for her. A shame. I just hope Irina maintains the strong relationships she has built with Tisci and Donatella and thinks to parlay it into something bigger once she starts to age out too.

@bellezana I came accross the same news in december last year but i remember Forbes stopped doing the list. Even if they decided to do the list again i don’t think we would see Adriana’s in it. Not because she cannot make it, it is because she has no agency to provide her financial information to the forbes. I read forbes learns models contract information from their modeling agencies and Adriana let us know she is no longer working with any modeling agency.
So i believe that is why she wasn’t on the list in 2018. Forbes gathers the information at the end of the year but Adriana was already left her agency then according to her post.

1. Fell Off and can't blame covid?... So you really forgot about all her early 2020 work and 2019 work. I will get to that later tho
2. You always come in her JUST to compare her to Irina. Thats like putting Adriana down for bella hadid or Jenner. No matter how much work they get, nobody thinks they get it for good reasons. People know who is the superior model, its not them. Adriana has already made her mark, she doesn't have to compete with girls like that, she is 40 and had a long career, call me when they do that. She doesn't have to keep proving herself for the rest of her life because of younger NEO models. She is already a REAL supermodel, she is already Iconic. Thats why she is still being compared to them by FANS during these fashion weeks without even attending, because she has left her mark and is at a higher standard. Its the same case with Irina, Adriana's overall career is better and she did it on her own
I get that you are an Irina stan, but real people know no matter how much Irina utliizes her relationships with her men and friends in the industry, she doesn't book those jobs because she better than Adriana. The fact that Adriana BEEN did what Irina is just now doing, when they are only 5 years apart shows that. Everyone knows it. It will never be okay to try to drag Adriana in the name of someone who didn't get their first Vogue work until they were in their 30s years after dating one of the MOST famous men in the world. Thats not a coincidence. While Adriana has been doing that since she was a teenager, without VS and without a famous boyfriend. It will never make sense to drag her in the name of Irina, its like dragging her for the hadids. It is a new era, models today are NOT getting jobs because they are good. You can criticize Adriana's career without comparing her to someone who depended on men and connections to get where she is about 15 years AFTER Adriana already got hers. If you want to go and praise someone's career that is not built off of their talents and look the most, go to their forum and do that. But adriana BEEN made a name for herself, she has BEEN called a supermodel, and is already seen as an Icon in her industry. She can not be torn down by somebody who still has NOT done all of that yet, and should have been by now. Irina is getting there and JUST now making it happen. To me, if it took that long, when you can see in her work WHY it took that long, considering all of this- she is not worth putting Adriana down for. Adriana def has better stats and more iconic WORK, there is a reason why Adriana had been with maybelline for atleast 10 years, and Irina couldn't even keep her Lo'real contract, a contract that usually lasts just as long as Maybelline contract. So don't start that mess again,. Adriana still has the better career overall. Irina doesn't keep contracts long unless its a friend behind it, and she still hasn't been able to do with ONE brand what Adriana managed to do with VS and Maybelline. And most people find her work boring or cringy, thats not the case with Adriana. People actually feel Adriana is very talented and enjoy her work, which is probably why she didn't need famous men or friendships for her exceptional higher earning career.
That being said, Adriana DID have work at the start of 2020 and in 2019. You don't forget to compare her to Irina, but you somehow forgot she was alongside Irina in that 2020 MaxMara campaign. She was with Irina on the Vogue Spain 2019 cover and then on Vogue Arabia November 2019. She was still a maybelline girl in 2019-2020, She had her Puma campaign in 2019-2020 and her items sold out constantly, and her sunglasses in 2020, again best seller there . And her last Vogue Cover was April 2020. Adriana has barely traveled since. So IDK what you're on about, You did this when Adriana had an agency, so don't act like its about her lack of one now. . Its been one year and one hard ass year for everybody, Adriana IS not defined by half of a year. The OTHER 20+ years of her career defines her, something else you should actually be hoping for Irina to achieve, that Adriana has already been able to do. Stay around and getting first rate work for THAT long.

Um... did you really just type all that? Chile...
Adriana is the arguably the most sellable active model in terms of name recognition alone which is why the direction her career has been going of late has been irritating to watch. I have been a supporter of hers for many, many years. I am well within my rights to critique her career whenever I see fit - just as you feel the need to write a thesis on the very few comments I have made in her general discussion. It cannot be denied that Adriana was silly to create a GMAIL email address, posting it on her IG, and declaring herself as taking control of her career. Then later posting something about acceptance of older women in fashion etc. That is not a good look. It does not give the impression that work is coming in.
At this stage of her career, as she ages out of the industry, she should be relying on whatever management relationships she has already established to move on to bigger and better things. It is not the best time to put things in her own hands. It goes without saying that she is a better model than Irina, however, Irina has capitalised on every single opportunity that has come her way. Whether you think she got it on her back or her knees, she did the damn thing. That doesn't take away from the fact that Adriana has not lived up to her full potential since leaving VS. She is not social media savvy and does not push herself out there as other high profile models do. If she did handle social media more effectively, I'm sure her career would be more active right now. There's a reason why so many are on this forum always asking what's next, what's she up to, where's she going... then nothing. I am well aware of Adriana's work alongside Irina. I am not an Irina stan - I do not stan models or celebrities. I am grown. I post on here sporadically and will continue to freely express my opinions, positive or negative. Have a good day! 
Indeed, she kinda failed on social media part. But I think that just it. We dont know what's really happening around her. But as her fan, though she no longer needs to prove anything, I really wish to still see her very active especially she still has something to offer and she is still in her full potential. At this time, I am no longer setting my expectation so high regarding her works. Hopefully, one day we'll learn she got a new team for herself.
