Cannes has long been a magnet for supermodels so it’s no surprise that Adriana Lima has touched down many a time on the Palais red carpet.

The Victoria’s Secret Angel has been a Cannes regular for more than a decade, and Lima is due back again this year, fresh from picking up a best comeback award at the Daily Front Row Fashion Awards Los Angeles. While walking that event’s red carpet outside the Beverly Hills Hotel, The Hollywood Reporter asked the 43-year-old to dish on her style strategy for the festival.

“I tend to focus on old Hollywood glamour with a little model twist,” the mother of three explained. “Walking the red carpet in Cannes is always truly incredible because I imagine all the amazing actresses that have walked that same carpet. When I’m there, I also get so excited to see the movies.”

Asked to pick a favorite, Lima cites a memorable screening of the Tom Cruise-starrer Top Gun: Maverick for which she bared her pregnant belly in a cut-out gown by Balmain. The 2025 Cannes Film Festival runs through May 24.
