Ever since Adriana Lima debuted a fresh new look at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in October, fans can hardly believe she’s 43!
The supermodel, who previously faced criticism from trolls accusing her of overusing Botox and fillers, wowed fans again during her appearance in Abu Dhabi for the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
For the long racing weekend, the mother of three embraced cool, light tones, with one standout outfit featuring a ruched skirt with a center slit. She styled it with a breezy white button-up shirt and a chic tan handbag, effortlessly blending elegance and comfort.

"You look wonderful; we are loving these pictures a lot."
"Adriana Lima at the Abu Dhabi GP? So iconic, I can’t even!!!"
"She's so gorgeous."
"I don't believe she is 43 years old."
"I have no words to describe your beauty."

Other stars who attended the event included Brad Pitt, currently filming his F1 movie, as well as Lewis Hamilton, Jared Leto, and many more.
Adriana Lima Responds to Comments About Her Appearance
Before her return to a more natural look, many fans thought she looked “different” and speculated that filler were to blame after she appeared unrecognizable at the premier of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes in November 2023.
Social media users and cosmetic experts speculated that she may have altered her appearance due to excessive botox, fillers, or plastic surgery procedures.
But Lima went on her Instagram story afterwards to shut down any cosmetic enhancement speculation. “This is the face of a tired mom of one teenage girl, two pre-teens, one active boy, a 1-year-old learning to walk, and three dogs... thanks for your concern," she wrote alongside a makeup-free selfie of herself.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar in Dec. 2023, she revealed, “It did not bother me at all. I’m very strong that way, and honestly, I looked at myself before I stepped out, and I was feeling great. I was with my children, and they looked at me and were like, ‘Mom! You look so beautiful!’”
