Adriana Lima has sparked concern over her weight after photos of the model at Paris Fashion Week circulated online.

The 45-year-old Brazilian supermodel and longtime Victoria’s Secret Angel appeared on Sept. 29 during a Revolve Launch Magazine Photocall in Paris, posing for cameras in a leg-baring ensemble.

For the event, Lima paired an oversized black leather jacket from Revolve with some shiny black pumps.

Her neutral-toned makeup highlighted her sharp cheekbones and bright-blue eyes, and she styled her hair in a slicked-back ponytail with a deep side part.

But it was her exposed legs, not her outfit, that drew attention online, with many noting her much slimmer appearance.

“I’m sorry, but what happened to Adriana Lima’s legs?” one person asked in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“She’s always been one of the more athletic models, so it is shocking to see her this thin with a lack of muscle tone on the legs,” another person added.

“She lost weight and muscle [is] what it looks like,” another fan wrote.

Two days later, she walked in Messika’s Spring/Summer 2027 presentation, where her appearance drew similarly worried comments.

Others, however, remarked that people were too focused on the model’s weight.

“Everyone called her fat; now people call her too skinny. Women should stop body-shaming other women,” a fan commented.

In 2024, Lima addressed widespread online discussion sparked by her post-pregnancy appearance in an Instagram story.

“The face of a tired mom of one teenage girl, two preteens, one active boy, a 1-year-old learning to walk, and three dogs…thanks for your concern,” the model said.
