Adriana Lima | Victoria's Secret Lingerie February 2012

Adriana Lima reminds us why she's Victoria's Secret hottest -- sorry, highest -- paid model. VS's parent company Limited Brands has maintained a steady ship over the last year, outperforming most peers in the industry. Last week, Limited Brands posted a smaller quarterly profit and forecast earnings, that might miss analyst expectations.

For the fiscal fourth quarter ended Jan. 28, the Columbus, Ohio-based company earned $359.4 million, or $1.17 a share, compared with $452.3 million, or $1.36 a share a year earlier. Sales rose 2 percent to $3.52 billion. via Reuters
