Brazilian bombshell Adriana Lima graces the cover of Vogue Italia June 2014 issue. A month that without no doubt is dedicated to Brazil and football . The 32-year-old beauty was shot by Steven Meisel , Vogue Italia favorite photographer. Dress in silk cady with detailing in leather, Gucci. Headpiece, sleeves and gloves: Patricia Field, Lima smiles from the cover of the magazine.

An amazing body, an exotic-sexy allure, the Brazilian model Adriana Lima is a cheerful and determined person. But above all sincere. So much so that she admits that she does not like yoga (too relaxing) and that she instead loves boxing. Because, she says, throwing punches is the antithesis of boredom. Adriana Lima is over the moon: “This month it is my birthday, I will enjoy the World Cup and I am on the cover of Vogue Italia”. I could not have been given a better gift. Furthermore Steven Meisel, whom I consider the king of photograpahers, even portrayed me in a hyper-sporty version, and I really am one of those people who at the gym sweat their guts out”. This bombshell with amazing curves and cat eyes does not make a mystery of her fitness regime that she follows with religious perseverence. Despite being genetically fortunate, she trains – please, take note – three times a week for forty-five minutes, alternating punchball with a series of pushups, abdominal exercises and skipping. “The secret to give one’s best and get the best back is to find exercises we like doing”.
