Brazilian bombshell Adriana Lima bats her bedroom eyes in sizzling new Victoria's Secret campaign

Brazilian beauty Adriana Lima is just one of a host of models to represent lingerie firm Victoria's Secret.
But in these sizzling new shots for the American company, Lima shows why she's the best paid of them all.
The mother-of-one, 30, showed off her 34-24-35 curves in a collection of black and white underwear.

With a 'come hither' look in her eye, the model shows why she's no. 4 in Forbes magazine's list of the highest-paid supermodels.
Lima took home $8million last year, following Gisele Bundchen (No.1, $45million), Heidi Klum (No.2, $20million) and Kate Moss (No.3, $13.5million).

Fellow Victoria's Secret Angels Alessandra Ambrosio (No.5, $5million) and Candice Swanepoel (No.10, $3million) are trailing behind in the earning stakes.

A few months ago, Lima caused controversy when she revealed she followed a liquid-only diet for nine days in the run up to the annual Victoria's Secret catwalk show, which takes place every November.
Having been an Angel for 11 years, Lima has taken part in the fashion show every year, bar three years ago, when she was heavily pregnant with her daughter Valentina.
As fabulous as she looks, Lima has been refreshingly honest about the lengths she goes to to get her body ready to be scrutinised by the 8million viewers who watch the televised fashion show.

Having worked out every day for several months leading up the show, Lima steps up her fitness schedule to twice a day in the last few weeks.

She told the Daily Telegraph just days before the show: 'It is really intense, it's not really the amount of time you spend working out, it's the intensity: I jump rope, I do boxing, I lift weights, but I get bored doing that. If I am not moving I get bored very easily.'

For nine days leading up to the show, Lima live on protein shakes, cutting out solids from her diet until the celebratory post-fashion show meal with her family.

She explained: 'No liquids at all so you dry out, sometimes you can lose up to eight pounds just from that.'
But she urged other women not to follow the diet: 'It's not that I do crazy diets throughout the year. I just do it for this particular thing. After this show, I become normal again.
'I know it's very intense but...I just have an athlete's mind and I appreciate doing this thing.'
