On the dark side: Adriana Lima goes tough-chic. Photo courtesy of Givenchy

Take a good, long look at the woman pictured in this amazing new Givenchy fall/winter ad campaign shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott.

Two thoughts: 1. Can you believe that this woman is the normally sun-kissed, body-baring Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima? Definitely not the soft, angelic side of the Brazilian model we're used to seeing. (But we like!) 2. Can you believe this woman is an expectant mother? Yep, Adriana's pregnant.

On Tuesday, People reported that Adriana Lima and husband Marco Jaric are expecting their first child. If you recall, Lima vowed to keep her virginity until she was married.

It's high fashion and high drama for fall/winter. Photo Courtesy of Givenchy

No one but Lima and Jaric know if that commitment was upheld, but one thing is for sure: If it was, first time's the charm for this happy couple -- they wed on Valentine's Day and the baby's due this winter. (Was she pregnant during the Givenchy shoot???)

On one hand, Givenchy's choice in Lima is ideal -- Forbes recently ranked her the fourth highest-earning model in the world. But it's also a bit of a surprise. Creative director Riccardo Tisci selected a handful of European faces -- Italian Mariacarla Boscono (and Tisci's muse), French Leonor Scherrer, Austrian Iris Strubegger, and Russian Ranya Mordanova.

One might think Lima's South American looks don't fit Tisci's mold, but these ads are proof that she toughens up just fine. And it's a good thing, because motherhood is no walk on the beach...

She looks great! If you are trying to look good too... a good tip for women is to try fitflops. The fitflops work your legs while you wear them. Free Shipping while supplies last! You can get them at http://www.tomkshoes.com or http://stores.shop.ebay.com/tomkshoes

This is what "hot" looks like? She looks dead, not attractive at all. None of these gals look good at all. And if the baby is due this winter, she was at most weeks into the pregnancy when this was shot - she shouldn't be showing yet.
