Days After ‘Stripper Pole’ Photos Go Viral, Gisele Bündchen’s Modeling Career Struck by ‘Terrifying’ Setback

Gisele Bündchen is on a steady upward trajectory, and it doesn’t seem like she is going to stop any time soon. While the Brazilian model, who has been an icon through the years, took a step back from the fashion industry to focus on her children, she is back to doing what she does best. Over the last few years, fans have witnessed the more subdued and maternal side of Bündchen. However, they are now witnessing a drastic change in that image.

The former Victoria’s Secret Angel, who was married to Tom Brady for 13 years and is a mother of two, has made her return to the industry with projects that have turned many heads. Most recently, the model set fire to the internet after showcasing her pole dancing skills for a campaign. While the steamy clip held fans’ attention, her project with Vogue is unlike anything she’s done. Here’s a look at Bündchen’s statement feature.

Gisele Bündchen showcased her transformation with an edgy look

At 42 years old, Gisele Bündchen is back on the front page. Featured on the cover of ‘Vogue Italia,’ the model’s transformation makes it very hard for one to recognize her at first glance. Known for her blonde locks, Bündchen’s signature hair color is nowhere in sight. Dyed red to match her edgy look, the Brazilian model flaunted an all-red Maison Valentino look.

To complete the ensemble, she also sported matching red nails and lips. Her artfully applied makeup emphasized her sharp features with a porcelain sheen and smokey black eyes, presenting a bold look.

Vogue Italia’s issue with Gisele Bündchen marks her first cover shoot after her divorce from NFL icon Tom Brady. While the model has been stunning fans with back-to-back appearances and campaigns, her ex-husband’s career has come to a standstill.

Bündchen and Brady may be experiencing a role reversal

Tom Brady announced his retirement from the league after 23 years of devoting himself to the game he loves. Speculation indicated that one of the factors that played into his divorce was Bündchen’s unhappiness with his decision to come back from retirement last year.

However, this time around, the former QB emphasized that he would be retiring “for good.” While his ex-wife held down the fort concerning their children for the majority of his playing career, his retirement has seemingly presented him with the opportunity to spend more time at home. In the days following his retirement announcement, TB12 has been seen spending time with his children Benjamin and Vivian. The change of pace with regard to his career may be a factor that has contributed to Bündchen’s career’s revival as the model presses forward to explore new opportunities within the industry.
