Which model was Victoria’s Secret’s longest-serving Angel?

The story behind the answer

Adriana Lima was Victoria’s Secret’s longest-serving Angel.

Lima first walked for Victoria’s Secret in 1999 and became one of the brand’s most prominent recurring faces. Her association with the company lasted nearly two decades, making her tenure longer than that of other widely known Angels.

She appeared in numerous Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows, advertising campaigns, and televised brand events. Lima was especially associated with major runway openings, closing walks, and the presentation of Fantasy Bras.

Alessandra Ambrosio and Tyra Banks also had long and influential relationships with Victoria’s Secret, which can cause confusion in comparisons of the brand’s Angels. Lima’s distinction concerns length of service, not necessarily the number of shows or campaigns completed.
