The stunningly gorgeous Adriana Lima poses in 'A flor da pele' for photographer Giampaolo Sgura. For Vogue Brazil's October 2013 issues, stylist Yasmine Sterea chooses outfits that mix bondage styles with red carpet attire.
Known for her sultry state, Lima plays the bold, fierce, seductive and powerful female. Wearing vibrant shades of red and purple, she emphasizes her status as a sophisticated woman. The editorial also included monochrome images that take us back to James Bond days. She looks over her shoulder, always watching her back for trouble.
She harnesses the character of the "femme fatale," a women often seen in film Noir as the seductive bad girl who lures the protagonist to his downfall. Lima sure looks like she's up to mischief as she poses in revealing clothing and never takes her eyes off the camera.
