On April 15, Supermodel Gisele Bundchen made her last walk in the runway during the "Colcci Show - SPFW Summer 2016" at Sao Paolo, Brazil, Latin Times revealed.
Brazil was lucky enough to be the venue of Bundchen's last parade. But reports say, it is a perfect choice considering this is the country where Bundchen was born and raised. In fact, this is where she was discovered by her modelling agency, "Elite".
In her last runway show at Sao Paolo, she decided to choose a local product but one of her favorite fashion brands, Colcci whom she happily wore some of its hottest designs. See photos below.
Gisele Bundchen amazingly presented Colcci's creations. In this photo, she wore a lacy dress with black cross-over strap underneath. She looks stunning while strutting the runway with her minimal makeup and beautiful wavy curls, Mirror said.
Throughout her years in the modeling industry, Gisele was deemed the world's highest paid model. And given that she represents a couple of elite brands, it's no wonder she has enjoyed humungous earnings, ever since she started in 2002.
According to Fortune, despite of her leaving the runway industry, it will be unlikely that her earnings will take a halt because of her endorsements with H&M and Chanel. Apart from those brands, it was reported that Bundchen has ventured into business, starting her own line of women clothing such as her personal designs of lingerie collection. Not to mention that Bundchen has been a prominent face of Pantene hair products and Oral-B for so many years.
Before the show, Bundchen shared an Instagram photo of her backstage, while having her make up done. With just a gold necklace for accessories while sipping a fresh coconut juice in one hand, Bundchen captioned the photo, "Almost ready!! Quase pronta!"
Indeed, it's a bittersweet moment for Bundchen. In another photo posted in her account, she expressed her gratitude to the industry she spent 20 long years in. "Today after 20 years in the industry, it is a privilege to be doing my last fashion show by choice and yet still be working in other facets of the business," an excerpt of her Instagram caption reads.
Her husband, Tom Brady, was very supportive of Bundchen's decision so it wasn't a surprise that he was in attendance and sitting at the front row together with the supermodel's parents.
In fact, Brady posted a touching message for Bundchen to express his love and support, ABC News revealed. "Congratulations Love of my Life. You inspire me every day to be a better person," he wrote in a Facebook post.
"I am so proud of you and everything you have accomplished on the runway. I have never met someone with more of a will to succeed and determination to overcome any obstacle in the way." Brady wrote.
