While in the makeup station, Adriana, 41 spoke to journalists. The blue-eyed beauty said:
“I thought over the years I would get more relaxed,”
Adriana admitted:
“No, I still get nervous, just like at my first Victoria’s Secret show.”
She also told them that this would be the best part of her 20 years of career on the ramp. She told the reporters:
“I think this year is going to be the highlight of my career. This has been my 18th fashion show and I am still as excited as I was from the first day. I always love to be on runways and being part of the Victoria’s Secret show. It is my favorite to do.”
Adriana celebrates the day with her daughters

Her daughters Valentina, 12, and Sienna, 10 were there to support her on the occasion. Adriana posted a picture of herself with her daughters looking over a large cake with candle sparklers on her Instagram stories.
She captioned it thus:

She had one day earlier posted on her Instagram news about her retirement. She did not state the reason for it. She uploaded a video and thanked Victoria thus:
“Dear Victoria, Thank you for showing me the world, sharing your secrets, and most importantly not just giving me wings but teaching me to fly. And all the ❤️ to the best fans in the ????! Love, Adriana ????”
