Adriana looked nothing short of sensational in the silk gown which oozed high-end fashion with its biased cut upper half and billowing bottom. 

The red stood out boldly against her golden skin-tone with the chiffon base showing off her stunning figure to its full extent. 

She boosted her already statuesque height with the addition of pricey Neil J Rodgers strappy black heels which gave a further racy feel.

Her raven locks fell loose down her back while slicked down with a side-parting on top, to nail her slinky vibes while her make-up was perfectly applied.

Lift your look with classic heels like Adriana Lima

Adriana Lima looked sensational at a photoshoot in New York this week, spotted getting out of a car and walking the red carpet in a crimson sequin adorned gown teamed with black Neil J Rodgers sandals.

We love this super glam look on Adriana, the scarlet hue is perfect for channeling old school Hollywood glamour, as are the sequin embellishments; meanwhile the halter neckline gives it a modern twist.

With such a scene stealing gown Adriana was wise to slip into a classic style of stiletto. Her simple black, double strap Neil J Rodgers sandals are elegant and understated. They would work just as well with a glitzy gown like this as they would with skinny jeans and a plain white tee.

As she placed one hand on her hip, she strutted her stuff into the event - treating the side walk as a catwalk while walking the tiny red carpet.  

Adriana was married to Serbian basketball player Marko Jarić, 38, for five years, but the couple sadly decided to part ways and 'co-parent' in 2014.

She is one of the most successful models of her generation; She raked in a staggering $9 million USD in 2015 alone.

Her name is almost synonymous with underwear brand Victoria's Secret and Adriana has been selected to wear the coveted million dollar Fantasy Bra twice, in 2008 and 2012.

She was criticised in a 2011 interview with the Daily Telegraph for revealing the diet that she and the other models undergo before walking the world-famous Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Adriana revealed her diet regimen to the newspaper nine days before the show, she drinks only protein shakes: 'No liquids at all so you dry out, sometimes you can lose up to eight pounds just from that,' she said.

She also stated that the last three weeks before the show, she works out twice a day. The interview received harsh criticism with fears that Adriana was promoting anorexia.

Shortly afterwards, Lima defended herself in an interview with People magazine: 'I know it's very intense but ... 

'I just have an athlete's mind and I appreciate doing this thing,' she said. '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.'
