From the field to the runway—sort of.
Get ready to see NCIS: Los Angeles star Daniela Ruah like you’ve never seen her before. The actress—known for her fierce portrayal of Special Agent Kensi Blye—is swapping her tactical gear for something a lot more glamorous (and a lot less bulletproof) as she steps into one of the most iconic Super Bowl commercials of all time.
💋 A Supermodel Challenge Accepted
As part of CBS’s Super Bowl Greatest Commercials special, Ruah teamed up with NFL legend Boomer Esiason to co-host this year’s countdown show, which pits “Bigger is Better” against “Less is More” in a battle of ad philosophies.
To celebrate the over-the-top spectacle of Super Bowl ads, the duo didn’t just sit back and critique—they stepped into the spotlight themselves. In a cheeky and confident nod to Adriana Lima’s sultry Victoria’s Secret ad, Ruah re-created the famous spot that once brought glamor and slow-motion seduction to millions of TV screens during the big game.
And spoiler alert: she nailed it.
📺 Recreating a Classic
In the exclusive video clip, Ruah turns up the charm in a satirical-yet-stylish recreation of Lima’s lingerie-clad stroll. While the original ad leaned into sensuality, Ruah’s version adds a playful wink, blending glamor with her signature humor and edge.
It’s a fun departure from the high-stakes action scenes fans are used to seeing her in—and it proves Ruah can shift from FBI takedowns to fashion fantasy with total confidence.
“I’ve done stunts, interrogations, shootouts… but walking in heels like Adriana? That’s a whole new challenge!” Ruah joked behind the scenes.
🎬 What Else to Expect from the Special
This year’s Super Bowl Greatest Commercials special isn’t just about lip gloss and lingerie. It will also feature:
-

-
The world premiere of brand-new 2025 Super Bowl ads, including spots from GoDaddy and Buick.

Whether you’re here for nostalgia, laughs, or just a break from fourth-quarter tension, this special has something for every type of fan.
👠 A Star Who Does It All
Daniela Ruah’s playful tribute proves once again why fans love her—not just as a powerhouse actress, but as a versatile entertainer. She’s not afraid to poke fun at herself, take risks, or step far outside her comfort zone (even if that zone is normally filled with tactical vests and surveillance vans).
And for longtime NCIS: LA fans? It’s a treat to see their favorite agent shine in a whole new light.
