Adriana Lima closes out her Victoria's Secret career. She walked in 19 Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows. |
The 2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show marked the last show to be graced by veteran Angel Adriana Lima. Adriana has walked in every Victoria's Secret Fashion Show since 1999 except for 2009. Adriana had this to say backstage at the 2018 show:
It’s my 18th Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and throughout the years I thought that I would get more relaxed and less anxious. But I’m still nervous and I’m still anxious about it. It doesn’t go away.
Just for the record, and in case anyone is keeping score, the 2018 Victoria's Secret Show really is Adriana's 18th walk for the brand. Heck, some sources say the number is an even 20. She missed the 2004 and 2009 shows. Adriana retires as an Angel.
Musical performers for the 2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show were Bebe Rehxa, The Chainsmokers, Halsey, Kelsea Ballerini, Rita Ora, Shawn Mendez, and The Struts. Charlotte Tilbury did the makeup.
There were six (actually seven if you count a special segment honoring Adriana Lima) segments in the 2018 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show plus a Finale:
- Glam Royale
- Golden Angel
- Thank You Adriana (special segment)
- Flights of Fancy
- PINK
- Heritage
- Downtown Angel
The special segment featured only Adriana Lima. A recording of Fatboy Slim's "Praise You" played during it. Adriana also closed out the final segment, "Downtown Angel."
