Gisele Bündchen Takes Back Her Fashion Crown
Iconic then, iconic now. Gisele is back!
After an almost 8-year hiatus, supermodel Gisele Bündchen returned to the fashion world at full force. Though she has officially retired from her catwalk duties, her path as an editorial model continues to thrive in 2023.
Gisele's new era began after her divorce from NFL star Tom Brady, when she graced the cover of Vanity Fair in March; she's had back-to-back work since then. With a new Vogue Brazil cover, ads from Jimmy Choo and Colcci, as well as a renewed endorsement with Victoria's Secret for their new icon collection, it’s safe to say she is booked and busy. The new VS campaign has her join the likes of Naomi Campbell, Adriana Lima, and Candice Swanepoel.
Giselle established her celebrated status as a Victoria's Secret Angel between 1999 and 2006, with numerous spectacular runway moments and editorials. My personal favorites were from the Victoria's Secret fashion show in 2005 where she strutted in a $15 million fantasy bra, her being unfazed as PETA protested against her in 2002, and 2006 when she ignored a flirty Justin Timberlake while he performed "Sexyback." Take a look.
Bündchen's return demonstrated why she gained her supermodel reputation, and we can expect to see more as she continues to take over. And here’s hoping she changes her mind about the runway.
