Lizzo had a delightful encounter with supermodel Adriana Lima at the Daily Front Row’s Fashion LA Awards. The singer shared a video of their red carpet moment on Instagram, reminiscing about her pre-fame days working at a Victoria’s Secret store and admiring Lima’s photos. In the clip, Lizzo revealed that Adriana called her pretty and playfully asked her fans if that made her a Victoria’s Secret Angel too.
The two posed together, embracing and blowing kisses to photographers. Lizzo donned a sparkling silver mini dress with ruffle detailing, while Lima wore a long-sleeve, open-back black dress. Both looked radiant with sleek, straight hairstyles.
In her Instagram caption, Lizzo expressed her disbelief at being complimented by the supermodel.
Lizzo’s heartfelt fan moment
“I remember working at Victoria’s Secret and I used to look at the cutouts of @adrianalima everyday and I wished I could be her,” she wrote.
“Fast forward to her telling me I’m pretty.”
Lima reciprocated the admiration by posting a smiling photo of them together on her Instagram Story, which Lizzo reposted, adding, “my baby.”
Despite the shared moment, Lizzo has previously been critical of Victoria’s Secret. Ahead of their controversial fashion show revival in 2024, she questioned the brand’s commitment to inclusivity on social media. Lizzo’s passion for body positivity led her to create Yitty, her own line of inclusive undergarments, in 2022.
She has been vocal about her journey with body image and the discomfort she felt from traditional shapewear. The red carpet exchange marked a touching and triumphant moment for Lizzo, highlighting her growth and the breaking of traditional beauty standards. Adriana Lima also had a successful night, winning the Fashion Comeback of the Year award after returning to the spotlight in 2024 following a six-year absence.
