Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2011



The world watched as Victoria's Secret Angel Adriana Lima strutted her stuff down the runway at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2011, wearing some of the most exquisite boudoir ensembles.

Lima is a 30-year-old Brazilian bombshell and mother to two-year-old daugther Valentina; and she worked it like a pro during the Fashion Show broadcast on CBS Tuesday night.

The brunette beauty, and one of the most popular VS Angels, wore one of the centerpiece garments from the "I Put a Spell on You" collection. Creative designer for the VS show, Todd Thomas, explained the inspiration behind these looks.

"In putting together 'I Put a Spell on You,' we were really trying to creative the idea of steamy, sultry turn-of-the-century New Orleans."

The black-wings paired with deep purple lingerie outfit worn by Lima was beloved by the model herself. "This is my favorite outfit ever," she said. She embodied the fusion of "innocence and sensuality," said Thomas.

However, there is more to Lima than meets the eye (though most are content with leaving it at just that).

In a behind-the-scenes interview with the Angels, fellow VS models revealed some interesting facts about the Brazilian superstar.

"Adriana off the runway is a crazy boxer," said Behati Prinsloo.

"Adriana - if she wants to do something, she'll do it. She's unstoppable," said Erin Heatherton.

"She's like Superwoman," said Candice Swanepoel.

During the interview, a clip of Lima fiercely boxing played. Then the 'unstoppable' beauty held up her scraped knuckles. Pretty hardcore.

The supermodel is also known for her charitable work at orphanages and donations to children suffering life-threatening diseases.

Lima took to Twitter before the show to get everyone excited. "Watch tonight 9ET, Victoria Secrets Pre Show Live!@VictoriasSecret #VSFashionShow..... See you soon!!! Have a surprise ;)" she posted.

After the show, she tweeted again, thanking all of her fans for their never-ending support. "I would like to thank all of my Twitter fans!!! I really appreciate all of your love and support!!!"
