It's Not Adriana Lima's Sexiest Dresses That'll Catch Your Eye — It's the Way She Poses in Them

Brazilian model Adriana Lima might have walked the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show wearing tiny lingerie for the past 17 years, but in real life, she doesn't always go all out, choosing instead to show off a calculated amount of skin at red carpets, parties, and TV appearances.

More times than none, she opts to show off her muscular legs with a high slit — and we mean high, the kind that involves wearing no undergarments. Other times, she chooses to reveal her rock-hard abs with crop tops and bralettes. And in a few instances, she has walked the red carpet in low-back numbers that show a little more skin as she walks away. Whatever it is, Adriana nails the right balance, still looking elegant. See for yourself by scrolling through her sexiest looks through the past 11 years.
