Gisele Bundchen
/ Anne EnkeSupermodel Gisele Bündchen covers W Magazine Summer 2026 for the first time in two decades. It’s one of Gisele’s most austere fashion shoots ever, lensed by Karim Sadli [IG]. Brian Molloy chooses Alaïa, Balenciaga, Celine, Gucci, Hodakova, Issey Miyake, Jean Paul Gaultier, Loewe, Michael Kors Collection, The Row and more.
Gisele Bundchen quietly married her life partner Joaquim Valente in early December. The couple was first romantically linked in November 2022, following the supermodel’s divorce from NFL quarterback Tom Brady, after 13 years of marriage.
In February 2025, Gisele gave birth to her third biological child, a baby boy, and her first with Valente.
This image of Gisele is from Vogue Brasil’s December 2025 cover story, shot by Lufre. The photo shoot was timed to close out Vogue Brasil’s 50th anniversary year, while simultaneously opening celebrations of Bundchen’s 30 year career as a supermodel.

Gisele Bundchen: The Early Years 1996 - 2007 and a Victoria’s Secret Career-Making Contract
Gisele was a rising star model with plenty of work in 1999. It’s almost impossible to believe, but Gisele appeared on 37 international and US covers of ‘Vogue’ alone in 2000.
Then all hell broke loose in a change that put Gisele Bündchen in the financial stratosphere of models.
In 2000, the Brazilian powerhouse signed a five-year contract with Victoria’s Secret, estimated by People Magazine to be worth $25 million. This deal made Bündchen an early member of the Angels sorority and the highest-paid model on the Forbes list for 14 straight years.

Gisele, you can use your brain-activation talents in a patriotic way for your second-home country.
Gisele, how about joining forces with Taylor Swift in an American 2024 presidential election get-out-the-vote campaign? No choosing sides; just get folks to register in their states and vote for their preferred candidate.
As Trump bears down on Taylor Swift in the coming months, she could use a shoulder to lean on. Don’t worry, yummy mummy. Just show off your Jiu-Jitsu moves, Gisele, and MAGA will stand down. PS: they say nasty things about you, girl.
Supermodel Earth Mother Gisele Bundchen headlines Alaïa’s Spring 2024 campaign with bright red lips and a mile-wide smile. Now, THIS is a glam drop.
The red lipstick blew Anne away — with a big smile. Just two days ago she was saddened by a group of women — ones Anne regards as strong women’s rights activists and people she’s worked with on political campaigns — just crucifying Taylor Swift over her red lipstick.
Lulu, AOC’s AI assistant, reminded her that red lipstick has long been associated with the suffragettes and women’s rights.

The new VS campaign is excellent and has some real VS icons featured. Bringing back past VS models is a terrific idea for a brand trying to find safe ground to stand on. Shop the new collection at the VS website.
If I read the VS copy carefully, I’m sure we are all icons somewhere in it, so let’s just cut the AOC analysis short here and say “good job, VS.”
The Icon by Victoria’s Secret Collection models includes VS greats Gisele Bündchen, Naomi Campbell, Adriana Lima, and Candice Swanepoel.
The Icon cast campaigns expands to include Adut Akech, Emily Ratajkowski, Hailey Bieber, Paloma Elsesser and Sui He. I’m pleased to say that every woman listed here has archives on AOC.
Oyadeas!
Oh dear goddess Oya. I tried . . . I tried . . . I tried so hard to step carefully, but I just fell down the “we’re all icons” rabbit hole, and I did not see it coming.
Gisele Bundchen returns as the face of Brazilian brand Arezzo’s winter 2024 campaign called ‘Dream On’. The uber-supermodel finds herself again in an aquarium, but this one is without water.
In this delicious new Arezzo campaign, lensed by Lufre [IG], Gisele reminds us that barriers are sometimes transparent — bigger in our minds than they are in reality. And while we reference an aquarium, there are no breathing bubbles in the water. No one will drown.
In stepping into a prism of new light in our ever-changing, modern world, it’s often our very selves who put the dead weights around our ankles, when we can drift upwards into the light, if only we permit ourselves to fly.
Vogue Brasil calls Gisele the only übermodel, activist for environmental causes.
In her interview with EIC Maria Laura Neves IG], Gisele expresses her own view of her success: “I believe that it has a lot to do with my personality and the choices I’ve made. I was faithful to my values and my essence, always giving my best. I took the profession seriously and I was always very professional.”
“I am naturally more reserved and ended up choosing projects that I deemed more meaningful for me to showcase myself. Perhaps this has contributed to the longevity in a career that is typically so fleeting.”
AOC adds that like so many young models today, Gisele suffered from extreme anxiety, although she didn’t talk about it endlessly. The mother of Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10, has spoken for decades about the importance of mental health and her healthy-food, yoga-filled and martial arts, gratitude-to-the-universe lifestyle for decades now.

The question is: will Gisele next be stepping out in buzzy Milan, Italy-based Paris Texas boots? That could happen.
It was Emily Ratajkowski who put Paris Texas knee-high leather boots on the map in 2018 via Instagram. The brand was founded in 2015 by sisters Annamaria and Margherita Brivio.

It was the family’s first Christmas since the divorce of Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady.
"It's my Rio Grande do Sul Heaven, Sun, South, Earth and Color Where everything that is planted grows and what blooms the most is love. It's always so good to come back home❤️," wrote Bündchen on IG as translated from Portuguese to English.

Yayoi Kusama, Age 93, Rolls Again with Louis Vuitton
LV makes a big move putting Gisele Bundchen front and center in a second, historical collaboration with revered Japanese creative Yayoi Kusama, one of the world’s pre-eminent artists at age 93.
“One of the aspects of her [Yayoi Kusama’s] work is happiness, and we thought it would be really refreshing after the pandemic to have the worlds of Vuitton and the world of Kusama meet again,” Arnault explained. The successful first collaboration between the two global giants happened in 2012.

Gisele has issued a statement that she is not dating Joaquim Valente and that the photos were cropped to ignore the fact that there were 6 adults and 8 kids on the outing.
Here, we’ve added Gisele in action, speaking about her classes at Valente Brothers:
“I believe the more tools we have in our toolbox the better. I feel stronger, more confidence and empowered since I started practicing self-defense. I feel it’s an important skill for all, but specially for us women. Thank you @ValenteBrothers for being awesome teachers and for making training so much fun. I am looking forward to keep improving. Let’s go!”
Supermodel Gisele Bündchen is styled by Gro Curtis in ‘One of a Kind’, sparkling holiday elegance with plenty of swagger. Photographer Sølve Sundsbø [IG] captures Gisele for V Magazine’s Winter issue — presumably #139.
The newly divorced supermodel is “settling in” to the new chapter of her life, explaining through a source that she “has lived her own life for years while Tom played football so she is not afraid to do things by herself.”
“Obviously, I have my concerns—this is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present,” Gisele Brady tells ELLE US about her husband Tom Brady. “I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again. But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for [them]. He needs to follow his joy, too.”
Gisele’s recent departure to Costa Rica after a huge fight in which she says apart from this interview that what really caused the big uproar was the way Brady treats the kids when he is home. Everyone is supposed to understand that dad is ‘beat’ and needs alone time. Gisele says that Brady also was unkind to the kids when they wanted to chill out with him.
CNN writes the couple is living in separate houses in this moment.
Katie Grand’s The Perfect Magazine #3 is just truly awesome. I can only believe she has a lot of luxury brands support and respect to make this publication happen.

The Creative Plot — in Anne’s Vivid Imagination
“We have to make a decision, Edward. Are we flying solo or together on this rocketing Gisele back into the stratosphere mission? I have more flexibility than you do, Edward, if we fly together. But consider that V made a big splash with her a few days ago. That was the appetizer, but it was 5-star dining. It was as if an earth goddess had arrived from another planet.”
Edward nodded his head in agreement — two top-drawer fashion guys who understand they have a mission to do this Gisele re-entry right. “Together, Riccardo. We go together on May 24th. It will be like the Arrival of the Mothership from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.’
Bündchen’s masterclass in bombshell-meets-earth mother glamour shut down New York’s Casa Cipriani lower Manhattan hotel. Styled by Edward Enninful and photographed by Steven Meisel, the images are stop-you-in-your-tracks fantastic. The storied establishment has witnessed its fair share of debauchery.
Nothing could have prepared the hotel for the 41-year-old Gisele Bundchen draping herself across a room service trolley wearing sequins and a ferocious pair of platforms. In the words of British Vogue, there are fashion shoots and then there are Gisele Bündchen fashion shoots.
We say Amen!
Let’s hope EIC Edward Enninful’s promise delivers big. Gisele's 'epic' 22-page fashion story by Steven Meisel for British Vogue’s June 2022 issue hits May 24.

Okay, people. Blow me over. Pick us up off the floor. We have a sexy, glamorous Gisele Bündchen in all her fierce-Brazilian, powerful-woman glory covering V Magazine 136. Wait up. There’s an abundance of riches — the true supermodel has FIVE, count them FIVE covers — and she is just being the super sensual , global environmentalist beauty that IS Gisele Bündchen. Buy it.
Will this celebration of one ‘Giselerama’ fashion icon all alone in the spotlight, looking old-fashioned glam and sexy on steroids, cause Twitter to lose its mind in condemnation? Maybe. But just think, V Magazine, of all the quiet spirits you have resurrected from the dead today. Starting with mine.

Gisele’s Burqa Disquise Busted
Did Gisele Bundchen really think she and her sister would remain unknown, scurrying into Paris’ International Clinique du Parc Monceau in open-toed shoes On July 15? Worse yet, the two femmes rode in a car driven by the supermodel’s regular chauffeur.
For real women who must wear burqas or die, open-toed shoes are not permitted.
Gisele reportedly was seeking a nip and tuck on her eyes and her breasts, after having breast-fed two children. The next day her driver picked up the supermodel and sister Rafaela at the Bristol Hotel and drove them to the exclusive Les Sources de Caudalie spa, where the former Victoria’s Secret Angel, who reportedly made $47 million last year as the top model in the world, recovered for five days.
Burqa or not, Gisele was silly to think she could keep her plastic surgery visit under wraps.
On the subject of women wearing burqas, the French are quite sensitive, having banned the burqa on the streets of Paris in 2010.The fact the Gisele pulled the stunt during the month of Ramadan, causing strict Muslims to be offended over her disrespectful act. Her action came at a time when several African countries have instituted new burqa bans, now that the disguise is being used by terrorists.
Then there is the minor matter of Gisele telling her adoring fans that there is “no way” she’d ever have plastic surgery.
Note that there are a few naysayers who insist that the story isn’t true. There have been no denials from the supermodel or members of her staff.

Global Burqa Ban News July 2015
The Dutch debate the burqa — and ban it Politico
The areas covered by the ban — schools, transportation, hospitals and government buildings — are those places where concerns for interpersonal communication and safety are especially critical, said Afshin Ellian, a professor of jurisprudence at the University of Leiden and an expert on multiculturalism, citizenship, and human rights. “People have to be recognizable in such areas,” he said. “And anywhere in a free society, it is crucial that people are able literally to look each other in the face.” In a statement to the press, Plasterk echoed that importance, noting that “in schools you have to be able to look one another in the eyes. If a mother comes to pick her child up at school you need to be able to see if it really is the mother.” (Indeed, in January, 2013, a woman wearing a niqab kidnapped a Muslim child from a local school; the five-year-old girl, who could not see her abductor’s face, thought the kidnapper was her own mother, who also wears a niqab.)
Niger Bans Full Islamic Veil In Diffa After Suspected Boko Haram Bombings International Business Times
Niger banned the full Islamic veil in the country’s southeast border region of Diffa following a spate of suicide bombings by women dressed in the religious garment, an official told Agence France-Presse Wednesday. The attacks have been blamed on the Nigeria-based Boko Haram terror group, which Niger’s army has been battling since February.
“Women in the region are forbidden from wearing the full veil until further notice, in order to prevent suicide attacks by Boko Haram,” Diffa Mayor Hankouraou Biri-Kassoum told AFP.
