Gisele Bündchen Is ‘Really Happy’ With This ‘New Chapter’
Gisele Bündchen attends The 2023 Met Gala Celebrating "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 01, 2023 in New York City.
Gisele Bündchen attended her first Met Gala red carpet as a single woman in 15 years — grinning from ear to ear. The Brazilian supermodel wore a gorgeous white Chanel gown with vertical stripes and huge feathers on Monday night (May 1). She used to attend the event with her ex-husband, pro-NFL footballer Tom Brady. The couple divorced last year after 13 years of marriage.
Since their divorce, Gisele seemed to be okay and has even offered well-wishes to her former partner. A source close to Bündchen tells People, “She’s back to herself. She’s good, she’s happy, she’s doing lots of good things. She’s back to work.”
They added that “[when she was with Tom,] she was just focusing on being a mom. With all their moves [because he changed teams] and everything, you have to be in mom mode. She’s really happy just enjoying her new chapter.”
Of her Met Gala dress choice, the mom of two said she wore it in a 2006 or 2007 editorial with the late Karl Lagerfeld. The event’s theme was modeled after the iconic designer. This was before she and Brady started dating, which was in January 2007. She said, “I wanted to wear something that reminded me of him and experienced 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!”
2023 Met Gala Red Carpet Disasters and Triumphs
Fashion’s hottest night of the year is back. The 2023 Met Gala took place Monday night (May 1). This year’s event pays tribute to the late designer Karl Lagerfeld, who was the creative director of the French fashion house Chanel. The exclusive event is intended to honor the iconic fashion designer, who passed away in 2019 from complications of pancreatic cancer.
Lagerfeld helmed some of the most recognizable fashion houses in the world (Chloé and Fendi) in his 65 years in fashion. Attendees are required to honor Karl’s fashion influence, which is wide open to interpretation, given his long and varied career that spans various luxury brands and eras of fashion (from the 1950s to his last collection in 2019).
The lineup includes longtime Chanel collaborator Penélope Cruz, actress and writer Michaela Coel, singer Dua Lipa and tennis legend Roger Federer. Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who had a close friendship with the designer, was there as always.
“Karl was so much more than our greatest and most prolific designer,” Anna said in a statement after Karl’s passing. “His creative genius was breathtaking and to be his friend was an exceptional gift. Karl was brilliant, he was wicked, he was funny, he was generous beyond measure, and he was deeply kind. I will miss him so very much.”
