Gisele Bündchen isn’t looking back on the past, she’s happily flying solo and the confidence she served up on the 2023 Met Galared carpet radiated from every angle. The 42-year-old supermodel is proving that her post-Tom Brady era is one to watch because she’s ready to soar into the future.
Bündchen decided to showcase a throwback Chanel gown that featured white sequins in a vertical-stripe pattern and a dramatic feather cape. She first wore Karl Lagerfeld’s creation in a 2007 Harper’s Bazaar Korea shoot that was close to her heart. The supermodel could not wipe the smile off her face as she posed, twirled, and swirled for the cameras — it was as if she was saying, “Tom Brady, who?” She and her NFL ex-husband were staples at the Met Gala for almost two decades, so this is her first single-gal outing since 2007.
Bündchen’s divorce wasn’t her top priority when she spoke to the media on the red carpet, though — it was all about honoring Lagerfeld and why she chose to wear this particular gown. “It is vintage Chanel,” Bündchen toldVogue in her red-carpet interview. “I wore this dress in 2006 or 2007 in an editorial with him. I wore the same dress. So when I was picking a dress, I was like, ‘Which dress is going to be the dress?’ And I thought, ‘This is the one.’”
Perhaps the Met Gala will be a sign that fans will have more Bündchen red-carpet sightings soon. The fashion icon knows how to make her presence known in the most elegant of ways — and we can’t wait to see what she delivers in her 2.0 supermodel era.
