Adriana Lima parties with model pal Eva Herzigova in Cannes

By Louise Saunders

She's recently back on the market after announcing her split from husband Marko Jarić earlier this month after five years of marriage.

But Adriana Lima proved she was single and very ready to mingle as she got her groove on with model pal Eva Herzigova at the Chopard Backstage Dinner & Afterparty at the Cannes Film Festival in France on Monday night.

The 32-year-old catwalk queen ditched the elegant gown she had been sporting earlier in the evening in favour of a rather racy backless white minidress as she boogied the night away on a raised platform.

Showcasing her finest moves, the brunette beauty teetered on a pair of towering silver heels, and wore her long dark locks scraped back off her face.

Eva, 41, opted for an equally raunchy outfit, showing off her toned and tanned pins in a daring black semi-sheer gown with a soaring thigh-high split.

And it would seem the duo were joined by a pop prince for the evening, with Adriana spotted mingling with none other than Justin Bieber as they partied up a storm on the French Riviera.

Adriana looked every inch the blushing bride as she attended the Chopard Backstage Dinner & Afterparty at the Cannes Film Festival in France on Monday.

Wearing a strapless white dress, Lima, 32, could have been on her way down the aisle, although the daring split in front was a little racier than can be seen at most weddings.

While the party was sponsored by Chopard, Adriana made sure she was decked out in jewels.

Their break-up was a shock as the couple had not previously hinted at any marriage troubles.

'After long and careful consideration, we have decided to separate after five years of marriage,' the couple said, in a joint statement to People.

'We are grateful to be the parents of two incredible young daughters that we will continue to co-parent,' they added.

The model famously remained a virgin until her wedding day, previously telling GQ magazine: 'Sex is for after marriage.

'[Men] have to respect that this is my choice. If there's no respect, that means they don't want me.'

The couple were last seen pictured together in February, at a yacht party in Miami, Florida, where they have their family home.

Adriana has been modelling since she was a teenager, winning Ford's Supermodel of Brazil model search aged 15 and coming second place in the Ford Supermodel of the World contest in 1996, after which she signed with Elite Model Management and moved to New York City.

She has appeared on the covers of magazines including Harper's Bazaar, ELLE, GQ, Arena, Vogue, V and Esquire, and since 2000 she has been a Victoria's Secret Angel, making her one of the top models for the lingerie brand.

Marko started his professional career in 1996 and notably became the only player to win back-to-back Italian Championships on two different teams, in 2000 with Fortitudo Bologna and in 2001 with Virtus Bologna.

He moved to the US to play for the Los Angeles Clippers in 2002, and has since played in teams including the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Memphis Grizzlies. He was waived from the Brooklyn Nets for the current season and is rumoured to be retiring.

Speaking about her marriage in 2009, Lima said: 'I never saw myself being married. But after I met him, everything changed.

'I knew he was the one and I could see myself married with him and with a big family.'

However, the split announcement came earlier this month leaving fans shocked.

But Adriana did have some support at the Chopard party on Monday as she was surrounded by her model pals.

And continuing the wedding theme, their floor length dresses looked just like bridesmaid gowns.

Liu Wen grabbed attention in a light blue frock which showed off her slim figure.

Lima's fellow Victoria's Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio revealed a great deal of her cleavage and toned leg as she posed for pictures in a lime green dress.

Arlenis Sosa chose a bridal look like Lima, with a smattering of lace on her one-shoulder gown.

Former supermodel Eva Herzigova proved that she has not lost her edge, glowing in a strapless yellow dress which showed off her legs.

Blonde model Petra Nemcova took the plunge in a cleavage baring pale pink dress while all of the models made sure they were wearing plenty of bling.

Other guests including Hollywood hunk Colin Firth and his beautiful wife Livia, models Suki Waterhouse and Coco Rocha and producer Harvey Weinstein.
