Adriana Lima: German GQ Gorgeouness

She's considered one of the hottest models on the planet, and Adriana Lima was nabbed to grace the cover of the July 2011 issue of German GQ magazine.

The Brazilian beauty - who happened to be celebrating her 30th birthday yesterday (June 12) - looked nothing short of spectacular in a cleavage-baring black frock as she posed for the popular men's publication.

Aside from covering GQ Germany, Miss Lima has been busy traveling with her fellow Victoria's Secret models to promote the brand's Bombshell swimsuit collection.

During this past week's NYC launch event, Adriana was asked her take on the secret to sexiness, to which she replied, "Being a bombshell is about embracing yourself and feeling confident."

She added, "You have to find something you feel comfortable in," says Lima. "It's not about showing more or less, it's about you feeling confident with what you're wearing. I love triangle-shaped tops and bottoms, the smallest ones possible because I hate tan lines."
