Adriana began with Victoria's Secret when she attended a casting for the 1998 show but unfortunately wasn't chosen. She kept attending castings until she was picked to shoot a few catalog campaigns with the company. In late 1998, she was chosen to walk in the 1999 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show which was held in February of 1999, on Wall Street.

Soon after her popularity sky-rocketed with the company, she soon starred in a commercial with Laetitia Casta and Heidi Klum. In 2000, Victoria's Secret traveled to Cannes for their Annual fashion show, after her performance at the show Victoria's Secret signed her an Angel contract in June of 2000. She was the first ever Brasilian Model to be signed with the company as an Angel, even before Gisele Bundchen. Soon after, she starred in many commercials for the company, not to mention countless covers.

In 2003 Adriana opened the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show which aired on CBS, she was also profiled which brought her status to a whole new level.

In 2004, Adriana starred in a commercial with Bob Dylan which had hit and miss reviews but it did wonders for Adriana's career, in fact, later that year when Victoria's Secret decided to send their Angels on Tour (Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, Gisele Bundchen, Adriana, and Alessandra Ambrosio) she might have not been the most famous but she was the best known to the public and was named "The crowd's favorite". Her Popularity continued through 2005 and 2006, and even taking a small break in 2007, her popularity only became more evident when she opened the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2007 (Which no other angel has ever done except Gisele Bundchen).

In 2008 it marked Adriana's 10th year with the company and it started out showing exactly how much power she had in the company and was now proven when Victoria's Secret gave her a Superbowl 30 second spot, which shot her fame through the roof. Looks like her time as 'the' Angel is still only the beginning of Adriana's success. Adriana also had the opportunity to wear the black, white, and ruby diamond Fantasy Bra. This bra, which was priced at 5 million dollars was graced through the Victoria's Secret runway show and had the audience in awe.

Now marks the 2009, Victoria's Secret Fashion show and although Adriana will not be able to walk the runway this year because of her pregnancy, her grace and spirit will be there walking the runway once again. Not only has Adriana had a big impact on Victoria's Secret but changed the company in so many ways. We wish her much, much more success through her fabulous career.
