In the video, posted on July 22, Valentina, who is 16, gives her mother a trendy Gen Z-inspired makeover that transforms the 45-year-old supermodel into a younger version of herself. Valentina’s caption read, “Give my mom a makeover and turn her into me,” before revealing Lima’s new look, complete with ripped light-wash short-shorts and a tank top that matched her daughter’s outfit. With a playful strut down the hallway, Lima embraced the makeover, happily admiring her reflection.
Valentina, the child of Lima and her ex-husband Marko Jarić, also took a moment to celebrate her mother’s beauty in another TikTok post. In this video, she shared the sentiment, “When I think I look good, but my mom walks in,” highlighting a common experience among teenagers and their iconic parents.
Aside from Valentina, Adriana Lima is a proud mother to Sienna, who is currently 13 years old, and a younger son named Cyan, a four-year-old she shares with her husband Andre Lemmers. Lima often expresses her joy in raising her children amidst the demands of her modelling career.
Earlier this year, Lima and her daughters participated in a Mother’s Day campaign for Victoria’s Secret, an event she described as a “dream” collaboration. In an interview, Lima reflected on the opportunity to work with her daughters in a professional context, stating, “It was really magical. This is a day that I won’t forget, and I think it’s a day that they won’t forget in their lives. It’s their first professional photo shoot.”
Lima’s connection with Victoria’s Secret goes back to her entry into the modelling scene in 1999, making her debut at the famous fashion show. Although she retired in 2018, Lima made headlines with a striking return to the runway in 2024, coinciding with her participation in a documentary-style special on the brand, titled The Tour.
The fashion industry has witnessed shifts over the years, and Lima’s career reflects these changes. Speaking to PEOPLE three years ago, she remarked on feeling “celebrated” both as a woman and a mother, emphasising the uplifting nature of the evolving modelling landscape. Her ongoing contributions, particularly in empowering young women and new models, are evident in her dedication to inspiring her children, especially Valentina.
When discussing the Victoria’s Secret Icon collection, Lima shared her aspirations to instil confidence in her children and in all women, regardless of age. She stated, “I’ve helped change the fashion industry in a way that every woman, every lady is accepted at every stage of their life, no matter how old they are.” This commitment to inclusivity in fashion remains at the forefront of her modelling career.
As Lima continues to navigate her career while raising her children, her recent TikTok appearance only serves to strengthen her presence as a multi-faceted figure. The heartfelt moments shared with Valentina on social media highlight not only their close relationship but also the joy of family amidst the glamorous world of fashion.
