You'd guess a woman who spent years in Victoria's Secret wings would dress loudly on her days off. Adriana Lima mostly wears a black jacket, something plain underneath and her hair pulled back so tightly that it does the work of a statement necklace.
She had a busy September, turning up in New York, Madrid and Milan (where she appeared at Vogue World), and fans spent the month comparing her to her early-2000s self. These five outfits are from the past couple of years, and every one of them can be copied without a stylist.

Black leather jacket and dark jeans, Milan, September 2026
This is what she wore out in Milan after Vogue World. The jacket is the point: stand collar, zipped pockets, nipped at the waist and cut to two sharp points at the hem, so it looks far more deliberate than the average biker. Everything below it is plain dark denim and black ankle boots. Hunt down the fitted, short cut, because a boxy jacket makes this a different outfit.

What Adriana Lima's outfits have in common
The hair is back in all five, in a bun or a ponytail, and that's why a T-shirt and jeans still look finished on her. She also rarely wears more than two colours at once. The interest comes from one piece with a strong shape, whether that's a sharp little jacket, a huge blazer or a coat nobody's using the sleeves of.
How to borrow the Adriana Lima look
Start with the hair
A slick bun costs nothing. Try it with whatever you've got on before you buy anything.
Buy one jacket with a shape
Choose very fitted or very oversized. A leather jacket somewhere in the middle looks like everybody else's.
Stop at two colours
Black and white, black and denim, or cream on white. A third colour is where the outfit starts looking busy, so save it for your bag if you really must.
Tie something round your waist
It's the cheapest trick in the airport outfit, and any old sweatshirt will do.
Stock and prices move around, so if a jacket you like is in your size, I wouldn't leave it until the weekend.
