She calls herself the “grandma” among the Victoria’s Secret Angels, but Adriana Lima can still bring the heat on just as well as the new, younger breed of supermodels.
She can do it even when she’s not wearing something typically sexy. Shunning the lingerie model uniform, a bandage dress, and stiletto heels, Adriana was a boho bombshell in a Haute Hippie Resort 2015 maxi dress at photographer Russell James’ Angel’s book launch in NYC on Wednesday. You can order a copy on Amazon.
How did Adriana make a drapey, loose-fitting, floor-length dress look sexy? First, she gave the cameras plenty of smoldering looks and sultry, kissy faces.

Then, since the rest of her body was covered, she let her sculpted shoulders and toned back do all the talking. She also added some side boob exposure for good measure.

After striking some sultry poses, Adriana revealed her fun-loving side, embodying a woman who is confident and comfortable in her own skin, no matter what she wears.

Adriana also wasn’t afraid to ditch her black leather clutch midway through walking the carpet. When she realized it didn’t work with the rest of her outfit, she decided to go without it right then and there.
