Adriana Lima made a surprising return to the runway after a six-year hiatus, captivating audiences at this year’s Paris Fashion Week. The supermodel strutted her stuff during Maison Schiaparelli’s Spring/Summer 2025 show on September 26, showcasing her enduring glamour and talent.
Lima looked breathtaking in a white striped ensemble that featured a stylish corset adorned with oversized golden buttons. She complemented her outfit with elegant earrings and a chic top-handle bag, proving once again that she remains a force in the fashion industry.
In an interview with People, Lima expressed her joy about returning to the runway after taking a year off to focus on raising her children. “It was so fun being back on the runway today,” she shared, adding, “And coming back with my friends at Schiaparelli made it that much more special!”
Rejoining her management company, Society Management, Lima walked alongside fellow famous models like Kendall Jenner, Irina Shayk, and Candice Swanepoel, who also graced the runway during the same show.
At 42 years old and a mother of five, Lima emphasized the importance of being celebrated at this stage of her life. She mentioned, “I feel that as a woman, and still being in fashion, it’s uplifting to see that no matter what stage you are in life, for my kids and the new models coming up.”
Lima wasn’t the only model to make headlines during Paris Fashion Week; Bella Hadid also made a stunning comeback after two years, walking for Saint Laurent on September 24. Hadid sported an oversized suit paired with statement glasses and a sleek, slit-back bun, showcasing a minimal makeup look while striding confidently down the runway. Her return came two years after her iconic moment when she walked the runway in a dress that was spray-painted onto her body, leaving a lasting impression on fashion enthusiasts.
Both models’ returns mark a significant moment in the fashion world, celebrating their enduring influence and talent.
