Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio Go Calendar Girl For VMAN

Allie Merriam — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:53:29 PST

Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio were among the models selected by guest editor Carine Roitfeld for a spread in VMAN. Their new issue hits newsstands next Tuesday, Feb. 14. The girls, along with ten other models, including Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes, and Chanel Iman, did a pinup shoot made to look like the 12 pages of a calendar. It was a reunion of sorts for some of the ladies, like Adriana, Alessandra, and Miranda, who are all Victoria's Secret Angels. Miranda is currently Down Under with her family, while Alessandra is taking a hiatus from her Angel duties while pregnant. Adriana, though, stepped out earlier this week for a VS Valentine's Day event and told us about what she and husband Marko Jaric have planned for the big day.

Click through to see Miranda, Adriana, and more models, like Lily Donaldson, Joan Smalls, and Izabel Goulart.

Adriana Lima and Her Fellow Angels Get a Valentine's Day Head Start

Allie Merriam — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:56:06 PST

Adriana Lima was in a festive mood this morning at a Victoria's Secret event in NYC. Along with her fellow Angels Doutzen Kroes and Lindsay Ellingson, Adriana helped launch their Valentine's Day campaign. The holiday has translated into a lot of work for Adriana. She starred in one of the most memorable - and controversial - Super Bowl spots. Her Teleflora flowers ad was called out by some game watchers for being sexist and too racy. Adriana Lima's Valentine's Day plans, which aren't set in stone yet, weren't affected by the Teleflora furor. Whatever she does, she plans to look great. She told us, "I haven't figured it all out yet, but it has to be something tight and sexy."

Hannah Weil — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:24:35 PST

When it comes to Valentine's dressing, there are of course the cliches: minidresses and heels, red and pink, and some slinky lingerie. While we're all reaching for some unexpected twist on the look, a quick chat - even just a glimpse of the girls in body-con Hervé Léger - may just be the argument to embrace the super-sexy albeit more predictable wear. We caught up with the gorgeous Victoria's Secret ambassadors Doutzen Kroes, Lindsay Ellingson, and Adriana Lima to find out exactly how some of the sexiest women on the planet prep for Valentine's Day, and now, we're newly resolved to keep it just as uncomplicated. Read on for their tips to getting the look just right, then shop our picks to channel the bombshells' V-Day 101.

Don't be afraid to wear red: "Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday so I love to get dressed up with a red dress, heels - the whole thing. I'm a little cheesy that way, but I love it." - Lindsay Ellingson
Slip something sexy underneath: "Whatever I wear, I would wear something super sexy underneath, like a lace corset or a garter slip because just knowing you have it on makes you feel confident and sexy." - Doutzen Kroes
There's nothing wrong with playing up your assets: "I haven't figured it all out yet, but it has to be something tight and sexy, like this [Hervé Léger bandage dress]." - Adriana Lima

Take a minute to digest the girls' get-sexy rules, then shop our picks to channel the same knockout style for your Valentine's date night.

Adriana Lima Works It on the Beach in Her Bikini

Allie Merriam — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:55:51 PST

Adriana Lima was in a bikini yesterday afternoon for her latest Victoria's Secret shoot. She's been in St. Barts for the last few days modeling a range of two-pieces for the brand. She and photographer Russell James are in the Caribbean doing the 2012 Swim Catalogue, and he's been tweeting about their adventures since Monday. Last week, Adriana was in another far-flung location for a work event. She attended the SIHH High Jewellery Fair in Geneva with Cate Blanchett and Ewan McGregor.

Adriana Lima Strikes a Bikini Pose For Victoria's Secret

Lauren Turner — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 10:35:33 PST

Adriana Lima hit the beach in St. Barts for a Victoria's Secret bikini photo shoot today. She's no stranger to showing skin for the brand after also hitting the runway in their annual lingerie fashion show late last year. Adriana's Caribbean getaway isn't the only place she's taking the spotlight since she'll also be the star of two Super Bowl commercials on Feb. 5. She'll appear in an ad for Teleflora and also get sexy in a 60-second Kia spot, which will air during the fourth quarter. Adriana's involvement in the big game kicks off on Feb. 1, though, when she cohosts Super Bowl's Greatest Commercials with Jillian Michaels. The ladies taped the special on Tuesday in Indianapolis, where the matchup between the New England Patriots and the NY Giants will take place.

Jewelry Brings Adriana Lima, Cate Blanchett, and Ewan McGregor Together in Geneva

Adriana Lima, Cate Blanchett, and Ewan McGregor were drawn to Geneva yesterday for the SIHH High Jewellery Fair. After browsing the watches and gems on display in the afternoon, the trio dressed up for the night's IWC Schaffhausen "Top Gun" gala. Adriana was decked out in Rene Caovilla shoes and a tight white dress that was met with approval from the guys - Ewan checked out Adriana, and was hilariously caught in the act! Adriana was happy to make the rounds with other stars like British actress Rosamund Pike, who will star opposite Tom Cruise in his upcoming One Shot. Also there was Brazilian author Paulo Coelho; Adriana tweeted about being particularly excited to meet him.

The Swiss trip comes just after an exciting week in LA for Ewan. He attended Sunday's Golden Globes, and was spotted making the afterparty rounds with wife Eve Mavrakis following the show. Ewan also attended last Wednesday's People's Choice Awards and did a great deal of press for his movie Haywire, which is out Friday. Ewan dished on the all-out fight scenes in the new Steven Soderbergh movie when we caught up with him at the junket one week ago.

See Miranda and Orlando, Jay-Z, Kanye, and Beyoncé in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show!

Allie Merriam — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:37:15 PST

The Victoria's Secret runway extravaganza airs on CBS this evening! In honor of the big TV event, we're taking a look back at the show which was recorded at NYC's Lexington Avenue Armory on Nov. 9.

Between the musical acts and the amazing costumes on the angels, Nov. 9th was a night to remember. Candice Swanepoel was the first down the catwalk in the "Ballet" portion of the show, the first of six-themed sections that also included "Super Angels," "Passion," "Angels Aquatic," "I Put a Spell on You," and "Club Pink." They strutted, interestingly enough, to the song "You Make Me Want to Die" from Taylor Momsen's band, The Pretty Reckless! Candice was followed by Anja Rubik, Lily Aldridge, Alessandra Ambrosio, Chanel Iman, Doutzen Kroes, Adriana Lima, Miranda Kerr, and many more! This was a unique year from the company since they introduced at least 12 new models to the lineup.

It was hard to compete with the over-the-top outfits, gems, and wings, but the musical acts nearly did so. Kanye West was finally able to perform for VS after canceling his 2007 appearance after the sudden death of his mother, Donda West. He dedicated the event to her saying, "I lost my superhero, but now she's my superangel." Kanye went on to sing "Stronger" as the Angels walked by him on stage, then Jay-Z came out for an amazing duo on their Watch the Throne song "N*ggas in Paris." Beyoncé Knowles even came out to see Jay in action, taking a front-row seat only for the duration of the track. Jay and Kanye got the fashion crowd on their feet, and Orlando Bloom was seen doing a little fist pumping!

Orlando was front and center to cheer on his wife, Miranda. It was Miranda's first time on the VS runway since giving birth to Flynn at the beginning of the year. She took multiple turns down the catwalk and finally wore Victoria's Secret's $2.5 million Fantasy Treasure Bra. Orlando gave Miranda a couple of standing ovations, as one of the most enthusiastic famous attendees, which also included Stephen Dorff, Lake Bell, Maxwell, Jack Huston, Lala Vasquez, and Gossip Girl's Matthew Settle.

In addition to Jay and Kanye, Maroon 5 performed "Moves Like Jagger" and lead singer Adam Levine broke from the band temporarily to place a big kiss on the cheek of his angel girlfriend, Anne V. Earlier in the day while backstage, Anne V said she and Adam planned the moment. She said, "I'm a model, he's a singer, we're just doing our jobs and just happen to be together, so maybe we'll do a cute moment but nothing crazy. I'm very excited to have him next to me, it's very special." Nicki Minaj wrapped things up with a rendition of "Super Bass," with newcomer Karlie Kloss closing the show in her fluorescent wings.

Don't Miss the Victoria's Secret Show Tonight - See Every Sexy Moment Before It Airs!

Don't forget to tune in tonight at 10 p.m. EST to see the angels in action at the Victoria's Secret fashion show airing tonight on CBS. To get you in the mood, take another look at photos from the show, which happened two weeks ago, and get the rundown of what to expect!

Victoria's Secret hosted its annual fashion show extravaganza at the Armory in NYC filled with beautiful models and rockin' music to go with it. We were entranced right from the beginning; Candice Swanepoel took the opening spot walking out in a gorgeous pair of ballet-inspired wings and a thong set, with Angels following in a sexy array of feathered, tutu-embellished ensembles. Four more themes followed highlighting Super Angels - Kanye West and surprise guest Jay-Z showed an awesome performance during this set - with models like Alessandra Ambrosio and Karlie Kloss decked out in comic-inspired capes and thigh-high boots. The crowd danced along and even Beyoncè made a quick appearance to support her husband dressed in an ethereal white gown. Miranda Kerr got to wear the $2.5 million Fantasy Treasure bra as Orlando Bloom stood in the front row clapping as she went down the runway. But there was even more love during the show: During Maroon Five's performance, Adam Levine kissed his VS angel Anne Vyalitsina during the set. Other highlights included light-up neon wings and rotating umbrellas. Check out the complete runway show and after party pictures in the slideshow now.

Miranda Kerr, Adriana Lima, and Alessandra Ambrosio showed off their wings, and their famous figures, in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last evening in New York City. Before the Angels hit the runway, we went backstage to find out their favorite looks from the show!

Adriana, Alessandra, Chanel, and Lindsay Get Holiday Ready With a Sexy VS Day

Lauren Turner — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 11:12:48 PST

The Victoria's Secret Angels were out in full force for an appearance at a retail store in NYC yesterday. Lindsay Ellingson, Chanel Iman, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Adriana Lima put on their Santa hats and leather leggings to chat about their favorite holiday gift ideas and promote their sexy Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which airs on Nov. 29. The ladies taped the annual extravaganza earlier this month and shared the runway with performers Kanye West and Nicki Minaj. Adriana is continuing her work with the brand today since she popped up at the company's headquarters in Ohio. Alessandra, meanwhile, switched gears to another popular franchise when she caught a screening of Breaking Dawn Part 1 with her sister after wrapping up her angel duties.
