THEN: Gisele Bundchen was a ‘Hot Ticket’ in the May 2000 issue of ELLE US. Photographer Gilles Bensimon captured Gisele with sexy, easy-pieces getaway gear styled by then fashion editor Jon Moore./ Hair by Oribe; makeup by Dee Dee

NOW: 24 years later, the ‘superest’ of supermodels Gisele Bündchen covers the February 2024 issue of Harper’s Bazaar US. From 2002 to 2016, Bündchen was listed by Forbes as the highest-paid model in the world, and this afternoon the Brazilian queen dropped into AOC Daily wearing siren red lipstick, Taylor Swift style.

Gisele gave Anne a much-needed lift, as we find her exhausted over discussions about Taylor’s red pout — from women . . . from women who are Democrats . . . Sigh.

We never know exactly why people are reading an AOC article. In the case of Gisele, after her divorce from Tom Brady she returned to modeling last year with several scorching fashion stories. We share several at the end of this story, but must go tag them.
