Adriana Lima sounds like an Italian name..Are you sure she doesn’t have ancestors from Italy?
Adriana Lima is a portuguese name,”Francesca” who is italian.
She is pretty but a tad overrated imo,
i agree too.
Yes.
What a beautiful mix! No wonder that she is so beautiful!
I know this comment is old but she’s not beautiful because she’s mixed. She’s beautiful because she got lucky with genetics. Race doesn’t determine how beautiful you will be.
