When it comes to fashion, Gisele Bündchen stands among the top fashionistas. Recognized for her captivating beauty, influential presence, and impeccable style within the modeling industry, Bündchen has transcended mere fame to become an esteemed household name and an emblem of fashion iconography. Yet, beneath the veneer of glitz and glamor, lies a compassionate soul, steadfast in its dedication to effect meaningful change in the lives of those around her.

After her divorce from former New England Patriots legendary quarterback Tom Brady in October of last year, Gisele has embarked on a new chapter in her career, embracing fresh opportunities and soaring to new heights. This past Saturday, she took center stage as the host of a grand Gala event in Miami, dedicated to a noble cause, and raised an impressive fund, including a special auction, to benefit her hometown.

Gisele fired the stage with impressive fundraising

Miami was ablaze with excitement on May 20 as the illustrious modeling queen, Gisele Bündchen, played host to a spectacular event. The Luz Alliance Gala, benefiting the ‘BrazilFoundation’, took center stage, showcasing Gisele’s unwavering commitment to environmental causes since its inception in 2020. This year, she graced the stage with unmatched passion and dedication, igniting a fervor that resulted in an astounding fund collection of $1 million.

However, what remained hidden from the public eye was a surprising twist—a priceless possession, Gisele’s beloved ‘white gown,’ was unveiled and auctioned off during the event. Radiating elegance, she had adorned herself in an off-shoulder white gown, complemented by Jimmy Choo‘s dazzling green heels and exquisite emerald jewelry. And, there is a special significance of this dress.

On the other hand, this gown holds a special significance, as it is none other than the iconic Stella McCartney outfit that Gisele first donned at the Hollywood for Science gala, back in 2019. During that memorable occasion, she added a unique twist to the ensemble—a captivating cape-style train cascading from her shoulder. Crafted from sustainable viscose fabric, Gisele opted for a more streamlined look at the recent gala, removing the cape and transforming the gown into a stunning one-shouldered column silhouette.

The gown, now a symbol of style and sustainability, took center stage as Gisele fearlessly auctioned it off for an astonishing $48,000. This act of generosity contributed to the total of $1 million raised for charitable causes, specifically focused on reforestation efforts in her native country, Brazil. The event not only witnessed Gisele’s philanthropic prowess but also marked the red-carpet debut of her special guest, adding an extra touch of excitement to the memorable evening.

Gisele’s twin sister joins in

Born to Vania Nonnenmacher and Valdir Bündchen, Gisele Bündchen, the 42-year-old model, was not alone at the event. Growing up, Gisele shared her childhood with five siblings – Patricia, Raquel, Graziela, Gabriela, and Rafaela. In a delightful turn of events, Gisele’s twin sister, Patricia Nonnenmacher Bündchen, graced the occasion alongside her.

Patricia, who resides in Brazil with her husband and two children, played a pivotal role as the main organizer of the gala. Working as Gisele’s manager, she handles negotiations and ensures smooth operations.

The bond between Patricia and Gisele is undeniably strong, as evident by Gisele’s heartfelt words. In an interview with People, Gisele expressed her gratitude and admiration for her sister, stating, “This was my first Gala and couldn’t have done it without my sister Pati who worked diligently with the Brazil Foundation to organize this special evening.”

She went on to emphasize their unwavering support for each other, saying, “She’s got my back like I got hers.” The appearance of the twin sisters at the event left fans in awe, captivated by their rare and enchanting presence. Earlier in Gisele and Brady’s divorce tenure too, Patricia was the one who emotionally supported her sister in her bad times.
