Adriana Lima isn’t letting criticism about her appearance hold any power over her.

On Tuesday, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel attended the Los Angeles premiere of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes with her family. For the red carpet event, Lima wore a sporty-chic black mini-dress with long sleeves, a mock neck, and red detailing. She paired the pretty fit-and-flare number with sheer black tights and crimson-colored wedges with severely pointed toes.

The supermodel wore her dark tresses straight and tucked behind her ears, and her luminous makeup included a blood-red lip, sharp eyebrows, red-orange blush, and a subtle smokey eye. Stunning as Lima looked, toxic criticism over her appearance ran rampant online, with many nastily suggesting she had undergone cosmetic procedures that unflatteringly altered the shape of her face.

The mom of three fired back at the haters in the best way — she shared a makeup-free, no-filter selfie on her Instagram Story. Looking lowkey and relatable in a black hoodie with her dark chocolate-colored locks pulled into a low ponytail, Lima stared down the camera without a lick of shame or self-consciousness. “The face of a tired mom of one teenage girl, two preteens, a 1-year-old learning to walk, and three dogs,” she captioned the photo. Lima sarcastically added, “Thanks for your concern.” You can see the photo HERE. (And on a related note: we’re pretty impressed with how gorgeous her “tired mom” face still looks, TBH.)

Alongside her at the premiere were her boyfriend, Andre Lemmers, her two daughters Valentina, 14, and Sienna, 11, whom she shares with her ex-husband Marko Jarić, and Lemmers’ son Lupo and daughter Miah. Lima’s youngest child, a son named Cyan whom she welcomed with Lemmers in August 2022, understandably didn’t join the family outing.

Lima has previously opened up about her postpartum body, telling People at an April 2023 Victoria’s Secret event, “Every day I have to remind myself, ‘Listen, accept who you are. Accept your body.'” The supermodel confessed, “And I struggle every day. Every day, I have to remind myself, I’m human. I get insecure here and there. And then every day, I learn new things. And with age, your body reacts differently.” Lima added, “But it’s okay. I’m learning.”

These celebrity moms all appeared in the ‘Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’ Issue after welcoming babies.
