The Brazilian model graced the red carpet in a stunning black skater dress with red accents at 'The Hunger Games' premiere. However, speculation arose about her appearance, with some suggesting she might be "still swollen" from a potential facelift and others pointing out what they believed to be changes in specific facial features.
Adding to the commentary, some observers wondered if Lima was pregnant again. It's important to note that she gave birth to her third child, Cyan, in August 2022.
Despite this, rumors circulated, and comments surfaced about Lima's physique, with some attributing potential changes to pregnancy.
Although some argued “pregnancy doesn’t give you a fox eye” or “smaller nose,” as per Page Six.
"Every day I have to remind myself, 'Listen, accept who you are. Accept your body,'” Lima said at a Victoria’s Secret event in April.
"It’s a transitional body right now because I had a baby. So you just created life. It’s such a big blessing. Every body has a different reaction with pregnancy and post-pregnancy," she added.
