Red-blooded men will be disappointed to learn that Adriana Lima is off the singles market, especially when they see these pictures.
The Brazilian beauty, who wed Serbian basketball star Marko Jaric in a private civil ceremony this year, shows off her enviable curves in a photo shoot for lingerie label Victoria’s Secret.
Against a backdrop of stunning beach scenes, she models a range of swimwear, from bright bikinis to cutaway one-pieces.
The brunette beauty is so popular with Victoria’s Secret bosses, she also models a selection of their sexy lingerie.
The 27-year-old has been a beauty queen in her South American homeland since she was a schoolgirl.
At the age of 15, she finished first place in Ford’s Supermodel of Brazil competition.
She took second place the following year in the Ford Supermodel of the World contest before signing with Elite Model Management in New York City.
By the end of last year, she was the second highest paid underwear model in the world thanks to her mega bucks contract with Victoria’s Secret, coming behind fellow VS model Heidi Klum.
She also comes in fourth place of the top earning supermodels last year, earning ?3.5million.
Her first fashion show for Victoria’s Secret was in 1998.
She was contracted as an ‘Angel’ for the brand in 2000, she has appeared on subsequent shows ever since.
As well as modelling for Victoria’s Secret, Adriana also has a lucrative contract with Maybelline cosmetics.
So enthusiastic are she and her new husband, they’ve decided to tie the knot twice.
‘We are so excited about our future together,’ she said in a statement recently.
‘And we are really looking forward to a big romantic wedding this summer with all of our friends and family.’
The model has been proposed to on several occasions, the first occurring when she was just 17.
She has also dabbled with acting, appearing as herself on Ugly Betty, one of her favourite shows, last year.

AUSSIE supermodel Miranda Kerr wants to be a mum. The Victoria’s Secret angel revealed her little secret at the launch of a new push-up bra in New York.
The girl from Gunnedah, who has established herself as one of the world’s most popular models, revealed she wants kids of her own.
“Yeah, one day down the line, of course I’d love to be a mum – it’s definitely something I’d like to do,” she said.
She was talking after the launch of the new Victoria’s Secret push-up bra in New York yesterday.
Kerr, who turns 24 in a fortnight, also hinted at her business-focused ambitions away from the catwalk.
She will launch her book, Treasure Yourself, in time for Christmas, and has several other projects in the pipeline.
“It’s an inspirational, motivational book for young women,” said the model, who swears by organic food and a regular yoga routine.
“Definitely, I have a few things going on at the moment that I’m not allowed to talk about, which is really annoying, but I can’t,” she said.
Kerr said she was not opposed to a movie role, although she was not actively pursuing a career in film.
“If there was a good role that I found interesting, I would do it,” she said.
Kerr eventually wants to break out of the sex kitten niche she has lucratively carved for herself.
“I don’t look at myself as a sex symbol, I see it as a job that I really love,” she said.
Kerr sent her love to her Mum, Therese, in Australia, ahead of Mother’s Day next month.
“She’s incredibly generous and understanding. I feel like I can talk to her about anything,” Kerr said.
Her boyfriend, actor Orlando Bloom, was not at the event, at the Victoria Secret flagship store in Manhattan.
Kerr, who visited Australia in February with Bloom, will be in Australia for another David Jones catalogue shoot this year.
“I am coming out again in the next couple of months,” she said.
Her globetrotting lifestyle made her appreciate home even more.
“I have travelled around the world, like, way too many times, and the thing is that I am so grateful to be Australian – we have so much beautiful nature and beaches – things people don’t appreciate as much as they should. And if they travelled a little more, then maybe they would.”

She was famous for her underwear and bikini shots in her supermodel heyday, but Helena Christensen has still got the magic at 40.
The Danish model was spotted in a tiny purple bikini as she holidayed in St Barts.
She is in the Caribbean resort with son, Mingus, nine, U2 frontman Bono, his wife Ali Hewson and their children, Elijah, nine and seven-year-old John.
The close friends have all holidayed together in the past.
Helena’s figure is the envy of many women half her age so it is no surprise that the former Victoria Secrets girl continues to model.
Last year Helena fronted a lingerie campaign as a saucy pirate queen for Agent Provocateur.
She stole the show from model-of-the-moment Alice Dellal, who is nearly 20 years her junior.
But as well as being a natural in front of the lens. But she is also a whizz behind the scenes.
She has officially snapped Bono as well as stars such as REM’s Michael Stipe and Robbie Williams and held her first exhibition in 2006.
And she even photographed Bono’s wife Ali’s range of clothing for her company Edun in 2007.

Costa Rican police have confirmed that they will investigate reports that two photographers were shot at during Gisele Bundchen’s wedding to Tom Brady.
AFP photographer Yuri Cortes and Rolando Aviles, from the Costa Rican publication Al Dia, claimed that they were targeted by security guards outside the supermodel’s home when they refused to give up their camera equipment. No-one was injured.
Speaking to People, the country’s Judicial Investigation Agency confirmed that it would investigate after an official complaint was filed in relation to the alleged shooting, but suggested that it was unlikely that the celebrity couple would be held responsible.
Earlier this week, a representative for Brady insisted that the wedding party had not been aware of the incident.
Around 50 guests are thought to have attended the couple’s second nuptials in Santa Teresa. They first tied the knot at a secret ceremony in California in February.
