Angie

Such a pretty couple! Congrats!

She looks radiant on these pictures, but her outfits ... just make me laugh. I thought anyone was over that horrible Ed Hardy style? So what are these horrible blue wings about? That's really "tough".

^ awesome outfit!

They shot it in the style of the elle spain photoshoot. Which is a bit boring IMO, although it's still a huge progress for vs compared to their usual bimbo-style.

Guess I'm the 100th person to say this, but I love her dark hair! But most of all I love the lack of goofy faces!!!

I agree, she looks great, but her new hair color is too light for her complexion. I prefer a dark brown on her instead of highlights or a deep black.

incredibly beautiful.

I wouldn't go as far as to say she'll become an Angel, but I'll bet money she ends up in a show and in some catalog shots, like Edita. I don't think Toni will become an Angel. She is not as bland as the other girls vs is hiring nowadays. Though she might bring back some class, it's creepy what vs can do to a pretty face BTW her shots are amazing!

I love Darla, she's the cutest thing on earth!

Megan's on the cover of German Cosmopolitan, looking great. A very similar picture was on Cosmopolitan Spain some time ago, but this one is slightly different.

@ lost soul: Sigh. First of all, I didn't know that saying her vs shoots are the worst of the angels right now is equal to "looking horrid". I didn't say that. I agree with Meryl that her hair and makeup for VS is not flattering at all, but I also say it MIGHT be due to the fact that she aged. I don't see why I shouldn't conclude that it's also partly due to the aging process. You admitted yourself that she's changed, so why do we have this conversation anymore? The pictures you picked are beautiful without doubt. But there HAVE been very mediocre pictures of her, from 2007-2009, this last set kind of hits rock bottom. I'm too tired to post photos so you can pick on them and say "that's just because of the angle". I could also say that she looks better on the photos you posted because they were highly photoshopped. There's no sense in all of that! I love Adriana, think that she is awesome and always has been, BUT I do not agree when you say that she looks "looks her best" and "better than ever" now. Because I think that's just not true. Like sheepsbag said I think that's an offence to how special she was.

Don't you think that's rather a question of market value? It's the same with Kate Moss or Heidi, because of their high profile, they still get booked. Because, honestly I don't think that Heidi is the hottest or most talented model right now. Just like Heidi, after working with VS for years Adriana got associated with them, with their brand, and I think that's the reason they keep on using her. If she hadn't worked with them before? Well, they would be far from booking her, as her VS-shoots turn out to be the worst of all angels IMO. Look, the only reason why I started this conversation is, that I wanted to know if other people sensed some change in Adriana's appearance, too, and it seems so. As I said, with aging I personally feel that she lost some of her magic, but nobody is saying that she is not allowed to grow. I just believe that we should be allowed to talk about the things that have changed.

That's exactly what I meant to say, thanks for putting it into words much better than I can Her recent pictures are simply disappointing to me comparing to her old ones. And I'm not talking about one photo, it's the whole set, just look at her last one! (It's very evident in this last one, but it started in 2007-2009.) That's not a question of angles and lighting, when it's in all of them. When lost_soul says that she looks better than ever now, then I have to completely disagree. Personally I think 2005 was her best year and I adored the younger Adriana, too (and for referring to my avatar: I just chose that one because it reminds me of the way she used to look back then, in the "good old times"). I've noticed so many people who lost interest in Adriana or her work, as it has been rather mediocre lately. Do not get me wrong, I do not want to bash her, not at all, all I'm wishing for are great eds and vs photos of her. I wish I could be as amazed about her photos the way I have been in the past, but like I said, I am simply disappointed right now. So no, ... she doesn't look better than ever, and I do not see any sense in euphemising it.

I also tried to figure out what changed, but I didn't come to any conclusion... I can't nail it down to sth., because her features are really the same... But I don't think it's the "baby weight" because as Fabirock pointed out she already looked somehow tired in 2009. And I do not believe that more loss of weight would do any good to her, because when I think of her worst look it was her last apperance in VSFS 2008 when she opened the show and she was super skinny back then (and was wearing like a ton of makeup )... I just feel like her face lost some of its magic.

I second that. Please don't rip me apart for this, but I think Adriana hasn't aged too well. I mean she was the sexiest model out there when she was younger and I think she outshone everyone else of the vs models with her beauty... But right now she looks either puffy or leached on photos to me and I think Gisele or other models look way better at higher age (even Heidi, which kind of scares me). Guess that's some kind of balance, Adriana was super super hot when she was younger, while other models were just hot. And now Adriana is not so hot anymore while others are still hot...

Adriana would have been so great in this year's christmas commercial, I just saw it and I hated it! The only one looking classy was Doutzen, the rest of them looks so incredibly trashy, although I kinda liked the setting. Adriana would've outshone them all! I hope she's coming back soon.

Aww, so cute together! ^ I really like Karolina, she was amazing at vs, it's so sad that she isn't with them anymore. I heard that she left and that there was some bad blood, but I never really understood how that happened, could someone tell me?

http://www.bellazon.com/main/index.php?act...t&id=793068 this picture is disturbing ... she looks like some bank clerk! i wonder how they actually managed to make her look ugly

After you mentioned that girl Eva Marinova I got curious and I googled her ... OMG the resemblance to Adriana is spooky! She's such a gorgeous girl although she seems to have vanished from model business, I wonder why with such a gorgeous face .... Do you happen to know why? Oh, and to stay on topic: I don't think Thais looks much like Adriana Lima either. But she should definitely get more jobs.

OMG, i just love Darla! Thanks to you guys for all the gorgeous pictures! I think I've never posted in this thread, but since so few people come here i guess i have to support her a bit. Yay, Darla! BTW, in some article she said her favourite photo shoot would be the one with Ellen von Unwerth. Which one was that?

It's been a long time since I've been to this forum and now I was like "damn we are on site 362 in the doutzen thread..." lol This girl is getting famous luv her she's great

German Vogue voted Doutzen model of the year 2005. http://www.vogue.de/vogue/4/stories/content/07182/index.php Go girl!

OMG, that valentino ad is BEAUTIFUL! Thanks Original Sin!

Man, these new Guess ads remind me so much of the sisley ones... <_< they are reknown for making slutty pics with sexual allusions, tons of pics with people that seem to have sex with anything :yuckky: Seems Guess wants to go into this direction. Don't like the ads, neither Bree Conden! I miss Megan!
