Adriana Lima Wows at Victoria's Secret Show Two Months After Giving Birth

Adriana Lima, ‘Angels’ Rock Victoria’s Secret Show

Two months after giving birth to her second daughter, Adriana Lima strutted her stuff on the runway.  

Adriana Lima is more superwoman than a supermodel.

A mere two months after giving birth to her second daughter, Lima is back strutting her stuff on the runway.

The model, 31, made an entrance in scarlet lace lingerie during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which took place in New York City on Wednesday.

Lima told the The Telegraph UK last year that being an angel for the underwear giant was “the highlight” of her life.

“[It’s] a dream come true for me,” she said.

Aside from Lima's remarkable comeback, other highlights during the elaborate runway show included Rihanna rocking out in a lingerie inspired look as she provided live-music.

Wearing a sheer pink mini that gave glimpses of her bra, Rihanna sang "Fresh Out the Runway" at the end of the corset-and-garter parade, grabbing the audience's biggest applause and holding her own on the catwalk with some of the world's top models.

Some of those models even had props, including Adriana Lima's ringmaster wand, Doutzen Kroes' body cage and several pairs of the oversized wings that the retailer has made its signature.

It would be a close contest as to who got the biggest wings: Toni Garrn's giant poppy pair or Miranda Kerr's swan-style feathered pouf. Only Lily Aldridge could boast star-spangled wings that shot out silver sparkles.

Alessandra Ambrosio's orchid-petal wings might have lacked a little grandeur, but she made up for it with a $2.5 million jeweled "floral fantasy bra."

The fashion show has become a holiday season tradition for the retailer. CBS will turn it into a one-hour special, which also includes performances from Justin Bieber and Bruno Mars, that will be aired on Dec. 4.

"It's highly televised, and you take that into consideration," said model Joan Smalls ahead of the show. "This is kind of not the same as other runways. You have to prepare your body: No. 1 is the wings are heavy, and No. 2 is you have to be comfortable with your body because the camera will pick up on it if you're not comfortable and confident."

There's an emphasis on glitz, skin and dramatic production here, not wearable undergarment trends for typical Victoria's Secret shoppers. It was divided into six sections: Circus, complete with acrobats, contortionists and a sword eater; Dangerous Liaisons; Pink Is Us; Silver Screen Angels; Angels in Bloom; and Calendar Girls, which allowed Bruno Mars to serenade a model for each month of the year.

For his first song, "Beauty and the Beat," Bieber, wearing low-slung white pants and a white leather studded vest, sat alone with his guitarist in the mellowest part of the show. For "As Long As You Love Me," however, he brought in backup dancers and interacted with the models while moving around a giant makeshift pinball machine.

"It's like a dream come true," said Bieber on the pink carpet before the show. "I would rather be here than anywhere in the world."

Unlike years past, the 2012 event had a slight twist.

It started with an announcer noting that Victoria's Secret and CBS had each made a donation to relief efforts for Superstorm Sandy, and a thank you to the National Guard members who are based out of the Lexington Avenue Armory that has for years been home to the show.
