When it comes to sustainable fashion, she’s one model citizen.
Gisele Bündchen attended a glamorous gala for a good cause on Saturday — and she put a new twist on an old favorite gown for the occasion before auctioning it off her back for charity.
The 42-year-old supermodel rewore a white Stella McCartney dress she first sported in 2019 for last weekend’s Luz Alliance Gala benefiting the Brazil Foundation, putting an update on the look by wearing it without its original cape-style train.
Bündchen debuted the dress at the 2019 Hollywood for Science gala, with the one-shouldered style made from sustainable viscose fabric.
She gave the piece a 2023 update by removing the elegant fabric that draped down from her shoulder and instead wearing it as a simple one-shouldered column gown.
Bündchen styled her hair in beachy waves, accessorizing with emerald-and-diamond earrings and coordinating her Jimmy Choo shoes to the green hue of her gemstones.
Tom Brady’s ex-wife held the gala to support conservation and reforestation efforts in her native country of Brazil, and she auctioned off the dress for a whopping $48,000 at the event, ultimately raising $1 million in total for charity.
Bündchen also made a rare red carpet appearance with her twin sister, Patricia, who wore a beautiful floral-print dress to her sister’s environmental fundraiser.
Patricia — who is the catwalk star’s fraternal twin — also works with her model sister, serving as Gisele’s business manager in Brazil.
“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,” the mom of two told People at the event.
After the success of Saturday’s auction, perhaps Gisele will open up her closet for fans dying to get their hands on her clothing.
