Meanwhile, Alessandra Ambrosio marked her 20th fashion show for the company in a short pink dress with a long train, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley appeared in an all-white look with feathered wings. Behind the scenes, Lima and Ambrosio prepped for the show by eating pink cakes in the hair and makeup trailer.
