ICYMI: The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show filming is officially underway and, between the hectic backstage prep and first-class celebrity performances, this year’s runway is already shaping up to be a corker.
But there’s one event that’s left us kinda devo about this year’s runway: long-standing VS Angel, Adriana Lima, just announced this will be her last ever VS show.
Current mood:
Aussie model, Georgia Fowler, hinted at the news earlier today, telling reporters that this “will be her last year this year I think“.

When Adriana then made her way down the runway, the crowd went crazy with applause, causing the 37-year-old model to burst into tears.

Yup, that’s a STANDING OVATION fam. And well deserved, because she’s a bloody angel in real life too.
Adriana then took to Instagram to confirm the rumours once and for all:
“Dear Victoria,” wrote Adriana. “Thank you for showing me the world, sharing your secrets, and most importantly not just giving me wings but teaching me to fly. And all the [heart emoji] to the best fans in the [world emoji]! Love, Adriana”
I’m not crying, you are.
Adriana’s fans are now taking to Twitter to express their devastation at the end of an era:

Adriana’s walked the VS runway for 19 glorious years (which is practically unheard of), starting off as a little baby-faced hun back in 1999:
To honour her illustrious VS career, here are some of her most iconic show looks over the years.
