Most of us know Gisele through Victoria Secret, the biggest fashion show in the world. Her rise to supermodel stardom came when she became a Victoria Secret angel—a model dazzled with feathered wings walking down a glitter-paved runway. But, in 2007 when the goddess contract with Victoria Secret ended, Bundchen’s career had just taken flight once more.

After 6 weeks of having her baby boy, Benjamin Rein, Joan Juliet Buck, Vogue Contributing Editor, approached Bundchen to be on the cover Vogue's April 2010 issue. Following the April 2010 Vogue issue, she was also featured magazines, such as Japanese Vogue, Bazaarr, Elle and many more. Being booked for fashion shows from top designers like D&G, Prada, H&M and Versace, Bundchen owned the catwalk (runway) for the majority of her career even after having a baby.  Bundchen is revered as a fashion icon.

“The world’s highest-paid supermodel and Brazilian beauty” says H&M. 


Vogue magazine called her “the model of the millennium and the most beautiful woman in the world.” This validated Bundchen as the most beautiful among all women; she is a goddess and a supermodel.

Bundchen has a beautiful lean body, long legs, tight abs and a positive attitude. In the April 2011 Vogue issue, Gisele was featured in “Secrets Behind the World’s Most Beautiful Bodies.” Many women not knowing how supermodels get their bodies become anorexic and turn to other dangerous forms of eating disorders in hope of gaining the perfect body.

Gisele is the best role model for many women around the world. Alternating between core-tightening yoga and kung fu during her pregnancy helped her maintain her weight. After giving birth, she added cycling, boxing and strength training to her workout regimen. As a mother, Bundchen believes that optimal health and fitness is vital; eating strictly organic and locally grown produce, Gisele says that taking care of your body is very important. 

“I believe my body came back because I have a prenatal exercise routine,” says Bundchen. “But each woman is different; there are no magic answers. It is important for women to make themselves a priority,” she added. “If you’re not healthy, how can you take care of your family?”

Gisele is the most considerate Supermodel in the world; she shows young women how to maintain the perfect body through healthy eating and exercising.  In addition, she gave away the secrets of how she was able to maintain a beautiful body during her pregnancy. Making 35 million dollars in 2010, continuing to top other supermodels since 2004 and being proactive about her health has made Gisele Bundchen the greatest supermodel in the world. Lastly, after having her baby, she came back to top the charts in fashion industry once more. The important thing about Gisele is her understanding of a strong family, and to her strong means being healthy. This is why the Brizalian Supermodel Gisele Bundchen is queen of the runway.
