    I think she still isn't comfortable enough with how she looks to post it on her IG feed and it's sad because she looks so good considering her situation. But I guess she thinks that's not how people are used to seeing her, always perfect, in great physical shape and all that. Then there is the issue that she is promoting events in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which is very unpopular and causes people to receive her posts from those places with rejection and hostility. I can understand this (obviously as long as they don't insult her), it seems disappointing to me that she does it and that's what many people reproach her for.
  2. Very happy to see her again. I suppose that this time she will have taken it more calmly, in the end it is not the same to train for a lingerie show in which your body is obviously very exposed, than for a promotional event for a gym, especially in Qatar (where the women let's say they can't show much of their body). But in any case, she is now the image (among other things she can do in her role) of a gym, logically she has to look fit. I was surprised that all the children are there, it's school season.
  3. I don't see anything unusual in Adriana's behavior in recent months, considering that we are talking about Adriana. We already know how she is, in her first two pregnancies she hardly showed herself in public or on social networks, in this one it was similar, a show for Wang, an advertising campaign, the appearances in Cannes and that's all (and this during the first 4 -5 months of her pregnancy, from there it disappeared). Adriana has never been one of those models who likes to be photographed every time she goes out on the street (like Alessandra) or who spends every day posting content to her social networks, so if she didn't do it before, after going through a pregnancy, a birth and now taking care of a newborn, it is normal for her to keep a very low profile. The strange thing would be if in 6 or 8 months she is still the same, without showing herself. In any case, at this point, I would not expect a large volume of work from Adriana as a model. She doesn't have the need, probably doesn't have the energy to do fashion weeks in NY, London, Milan and Paris twice a year. And probably, sad and unfair as it is, it seems she doesn't have the contacts, nothing new either. It's not like they don't know her, obviously everyone in the fashion industry knows who Adriana Lima is, but I guess she doesn't exactly have a low cache and if they have to bring in big names for a show or a campaign, designers and brands are going to prefer the models with whom they have a better relationship.
  4. Fully agree with you. I have no problem with montages, but the notifications are a bit annoying.
  5. She seems happy, even with Adam close to her, surprising for what we could expect after what has happened with Adam.

    Supposedly, she is scheduled to give birth around these days, perhaps she has already done so and announces it in a few days, it does not have to be the same day of birth or the next day, perhaps she will spend a week in which she will focus only on her newborn child and recovering from childbirth. In any case, if she hasn't already given birth, she will be very close to it.

    I would also prefer her to create a skin care or clothing brand than this, something more related to fashion as such. Although she can invest in this and in creating a skin care or clothing brand, it is not incompatible. But the truth is that this suits Adriana more than a clothing or skin care brand. She has never shown herself as a model that places much emphasis on the products she uses to take care of her skin or the clothes she wears, she is far from being an Alessandra or Irina in that sense. And in the end that is important, if people don't see you as a model very involved in styling (Alessandra calling the paparazzi to photograph her almost every day so they can see how she dresses) or skin care (Irina showing all the products she uses to take care of her skin every week), it's difficult for you to be successful launching those types of brands. However, she has always been very focused on posting content related to her work at the gym. That's why it doesn't surprise me that one of her last collaborations has been with that brand (Waterdrop) that makes steel bottles and they have focused it on workout sessions in the gym, even though she is pregnant. And that her last big collaboration with a clothing brand was with Puma to launch a line of workout clothes. If anything, something that for me would fit her and that would be related to fashion, in a certain sense, would be her creating a sportswear brand. Like Josephine and Jasmine have done by launching their Joja brand.
  8. Well, I was wrong, then. I didn't remember it clearly and in the photos I have seen she was not there. But that makes it a little weirder that Josephine and Alex don't attend Lais's wedding, although again, there may be compelling reasons to justify it. Or it may even be that they arrive at the last minute.
  9. I was trying to remember about that. I've seen some photos of her wedding with several of the models and I don't see Lais. Jasmine, Sara, Kelsey were there, but I don't see Lais. I can't say for sure that Lais didn't go to Josephine's wedding, but it seems she didn't. Lais, however, did go to Jasmine's wedding. Not that this means that they don't get along, far from it, I have seen that Josephine congratulated Lais on her birthday (October 2021) with a very nice text, telling Lais that she means the world to her and that she would always love her. That's why it surprises me a bit, I thought they had a little closer relationship, like with the rest of the girls (Jas, Sara, Kelsey). Or maybe there is some other explanation why Lais didn't go to Josephine's wedding and Josephine doesn't go to Lais's wedding.
  10. Yes, basically the entire group of model friends of Lais. Candice arrived yesterday. The wedding is tomorrow, the 13th. Perhaps Josephine and her husband are still going today, but it would be strange if they didn't attend, especially considering that they don't seem to have other more important personal or work commitments either, there are the pics of them two days ago, going out to dinner in LA.
  11. She's not going to attend Lais's wedding? I would find it a bit strange, I had understood that they get along very well. Jasmine or Sara, for example, already arrived in Brazil two days ago.

    That's Alessandra Amoroso, not Alessandra Ambrosio. At first I didn't see the name and it seemed to me that Ale looked incredibly different 😂

    I know a girl who works in the fashion industry, in an important agency, not that she was the owner or held a particularly relevant position (although she has met several models in person) and she is aware of this type of things. One day talking to her about these rankings, she told me that they are always false, in some cases she doesn't know where the press gets the information from because the agencies of some models don't communicate that type of data, in the case of other models and agencies, they always said that they earned more than they actually earned to increase their cache. In the case of Adriana in particular, it seems very unlikely to me that she would have earned so much money in a year in which she had not worked too much, at least compared to her most active years (and supposedly, in those years she earned much less, she was always like 9-12M per year). At most, for the sale of her house, but nobody really knows how much she has sold her house for and if she has sold it, if all the money is for her or part of it is for her ex-husband.

    I don't see the need for him to appear in the video either. I guess it was a demand/suggestion from Adriana or her team/agent (André himself lol). The commercial claim is Adriana, who is a world famous model and who has built part of her personal brand closely associated with working out and the gym, she is the appropriate image for that brand. But Andre? Nobody knows him, many people don't even associate him with Adriana.
  15. Oh God, don't make it even worse, Adriana, this is just too wrong on so many levels. She really has the worst management of social networks or the worst team that advises her. Disgusting.
  16. Alexander Wang has been one of the most famous designers in the industry for years, I sincerely doubt that someone who is part of the industry isn't aware of the accusations, considering that we are talking about very serious accusations (more than 10 models), which Wang himself has apologized and that has caused him to have been away for more than a year. Honestly, I'm disappointed with Adriana, Alessandra and Candice, already very famous models with a lot of money, they didn't need to work for him at this point in their careers. I don't know if it's better for her to post something about her apologizing for her or not to post anything about her, I don't want her to be insulted, although I understand that many feel disappointed with her.
  17. I have also seen backlash towards Adriana and also towards the rest of the important models that participated in the show because it's a show by Alexander Wang, who is accused of being a sexual abuser. That's a different topic and in a way, I can understand those criticisms. I like that she continues to walk the runway even when she is pregnant, but I would have preferred it not be in a show for Alexander Wang.
  18. I also found several positive comments, in the end she is an icon, she is very loved and that pregnant parade is emotional, it is logical that she is praised. But I have also seen several hurtful and very popular comments (by the number of likes, for example in this post) in english, especially a lot of comparisons to Rihanna trying to put Adriana down. I don't like that Adriana stays so inactive during her pregnancy, but seeing this, I can definitely understand why she does it. Although as I said before, it seems to me that it isn't usual, I even remember seeing hated celebs who are treated with some affection when they are pregnant.
  19. I have been surprised by the number of cruel and hurtful comments towards her that I have seen in various publications, comments from different newspapers, posts on Instagram and on Twitter, she is usually a loved person (why would anyone hate her?) and they are usually benevolent with pregnant women (as it should be). Certainly her belly looks weird, but that's no reason to attack her. I didn't like her look at the show at all (in general I didn't like the look of any model, not even in the case of Candice or Alessandra), but in the show she doesn't have any kind of decision-making power over him. makeup, hairstyle or outfit.
  20. I'm so happy for her, she really seems very in love with her boyfriend and her boyfriend with her, they are a lovely couple. Although I don't understand why they get married in Mexico (which is a very beautiful country, don't get me wrong), as far as I know, neither of them are of mexican origin.
  21. I mean, it's not that hard. Many models of her generation or older than her use social networks much more fluidly than her. She is 40 years old and has been living with social networks for about 10 years, it isn't like she is a 78-year-old woman. I mean, I get that she's not one of those models who likes to share her life on Instagram by posting 10 stories every day, but post a pic, new or old, of her every 4 or 5 days to remind people that she is still a model, she needs it.
  22. Perhaps the Savage x Fenty Show could be a good showcase to make her return, it's a bit like the show that has taken the torch from the VSFS, although due to the dates this year it would already be impossible (the show usually airs at the end of September and I suppose that it is recorded about a month before, dates in which I suppose that Adriana will have her child). The bad thing is that Rihanna could also be making her comeback on her show after her pregnancy and that would outshine everyone else. As a fan, it's pretty frustrating. It's frustrating to see how Miranda Kerr, Rosie Huntington, Natasha Poly and many other models managed their social networks during their respective pregnancies and then see how Adriana is doing it, they look like women from different centuries. Although it isn't really just during pregnancy, it is in general. For whatever reason, I could even understand that she doesn't want to post pregnant photos, but Adriana and her team should have hundreds of photos of her to remind people that she's still in business. It seems hypocritical to me that later she posts stories complaining that 20 years ago supermodels had more recognition and that now it is different, it really seems that she has not made the slightest effort to adapt to the new times. And yes, you are Adriana Lima, a legend, but that isn't enough now. The rules of the game have changed, either you accept them or you're going to be left out little by little.
  23. I was just going to say it, but what I wanted to say you already said haha. I would like her to be more active on social media again, but I can't say I'm surprised that she's not being active during her pregnancy, at first I thought she was going to be a little more active this time, because of how she announced her pregnancy, with a video made especially for social networks, announcing her arrival on TikTok and all that, but then... she disappeared. I don't think it will be very different in the coming months, beyond some sporadic publication or one day that she wakes up wanting to post 5 stories singing in the car or showing some gifts. Although I don't understand why she only posted the video on TikTok, I understand that she (or her PR team) wanted to reveal it on TikTok to get followers on her new TikTok account, but maybe 1 or 2 days after posting it on TikTok, she should have posted it on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, at least on Instagram for sure. In the end, she is a nobody on TikTok, it's sad to say so, but she has 56K followers after almost two months, not many followers for a model of her level on such a popular social network where many amateur influencers can get some more or less similar numbers of followers if they post with some regularity, the reach of the pregnant reveal video on that platform is not that big. In fact, the second video she posted on TikTok, the Mermaid-Erella one, doubled the views of her announcing her pregnancy.
  24. It's a joke that Sara has with her friends, when she goes out partying and gets a little out of control due to drinking, she brings out a different version of herself called Fara.

    If she looks like this in her second month of pregnancy, even if it's already her 10th week of pregnancy, by the sixth or seventh month of pregnancy she's gonna be huge. Not only her belly, her face is already very swollen. Candice didn't have twins and she also had a huge (really huge) belly during her two pregnancies, it depends on each woman and each pregnancy.
