Adriana Lima is Back on the Runway

The last time fashionistas saw Brazilian bombshell Adriana Lima on the runway was in 2022, at the catwalks of Alexander Wang and Qatar Fashion United by CR. While Lima continued to work on editorials, as seen in Elle Brasil Vol. 8 and Harper's Bazaar Arabia's December 2023 issue, appeared as a guest at runway shows like Balmain, or was photographed by Elite Milano and paparazzi this year, her poised strut was sorely missed. Until now. With the ongoing Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 season in full swing with dazzling displays such as Mugler, Chloé, and Vaquera, on Thursday at 7 p.m. Paris time, Schiaparelli took the city by storm. 

And down the bright blue Schiaparelli runway was none other than Adriana Lima, with her self-assured presence and commanding walk, wearing a corseted black-and-white check minidress with puffy sleeves, gold buttons and a plunging V-neck. She was styled with a sleek bun, a nude handbag, and Schiaparelli's signature chunky gold jewelry.

“ADRIANA LIMA WALKED FOR SCHIAPARELLI!??? OMG,” wrote @pradapearll on X. “ I gasped when I saw her,” replied @haileybfits. With the model's surprising return, fashion fans and insiders are already speculating if she will be walking for other luxury labels this week, or even if Lima will return to Victoria's Secret for October's fashion show.
