Adriana Lima returns to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show after a six-year retirement

Adriana Lima makes her triumphant return to the Victoria's Secret runway.

This comes six years after she announced her departure from the fashion brand after a 20-year collaboration with 18 of the famous VS shows.

The model and brand collaborated on a fun new video to announce their new partnership, which was shared on Victoria's Secret's Instagram page on Monday.

In the clip, Lima is seen hailing a cab in New York City in a sharp dark suit, and the driver then asks, “Where too?” just as she got into the back seat.

“Home,” says Lima, radiating a relaxed and contented expression. “I'm going home,” she added.

Adriana Lima, 43, announced that she is returning to the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show after a six-year retirement from the brand

The long-time top model first signed a contract with the VS brand in 1999 and then earned her wings to become a coveted VS Angel the following year until 2018

Once the taxi driver is in the back seat of the car, he turns back to the 43-year-old Salvadoran native of Bahia, Brazil.

“I don’t know where the hell you live,” the taxi driver tells the long-time top model with a not-so-subtle New York flair.

“Oh, I'm sorry,” she replied with a smile, while also looking slightly embarrassed. “Can you drop me off at the Victoria's Secret show,” she replied.

At this point, a funky, bass- and drum-heavy song kicks in, just before Lima looks directly into the camera and announces, “I’m back.”

“Hey, we've been keeping a secret, but we just can't do it anymore!” the video's caption reads.

“@adrianalima returns to the runway – phew, it's out there, we feel SO much better,” the promo continues. “Tomorrow you can stream the Pink Carpet at 6:30 p.m. ET and the show at 7:00 p.m. ET live on Prime Video or our YouTube, TikTok or Instagram.” Busy then? Then watch it (and as often as you like) on our YouTube. #VSFashionShow.'

Lima's association with the lingerie and clothing retailer dates back to when she signed her first contract in 1999 and taped her first Victoria's Secret show later that year.

After working hard on her body and her walk while taking some time to familiarize herself with the brand, the Brazilian beauty was named a “Victoria's Secret Angel” in 2000, a title given to models who have been chosen to represent the brand as the face and voice.

Lima continued to work with VS over the years until she suddenly announced her departure from the brand in November 2018 after nearly two decades.

Just a year later, the fashion world was stunned when the annual VS fashion show, launched back in 1995, was canceled amid backlash over allegations of a lack of body diversity.

But ultimately, the famous show made its comeback in 2021 after a two-year hiatus with the launch of the VS Collective, which aims to align the brand more closely with women's desires.
