Gisele Bundchen wore this stunning Calvin Klein gown to The Brazil Foundation 8th Annual Gala Benefit on Thursday evening.  The dress was designed by Francisco Costa, creative designer at Calvin Klein.  Costa is also a Brazilian native.  This gown not only looked like a  million bucks on the model, it also went for $50,000 at the auction in support of the foundation.  What a perfect fit on Gisele; it had a tank-style front and racer-back style cut in back, but with all the glamour befitting this supermodel.  The dress is a signature Calvin Klein creation with a sportswear foundation.  However, instead of opting for the minimalist aesthetic, Costa aimed for sexy and alluring.  This beaded number will not be forgotten anytime soon.  From the brilliant color, revealing back down th the incredible fit, it is one for the Gisele’s fashion hall of fame.

Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks is the new spokesperson for London Fog.  We usually associate the actress with gorgeous dresses that are flattering to her figure, and I envision that Hendricks will do wonders for trench coats.  She appears in the labels Fall 2010 ad campaign shot by photographer Nino Munoz.  Former leading ladies at London Fog includes Gisele Bundchen and Eva Longoria.  The ads are quite alluring and surprisingly high-fashion.  It’s safe to say that the company will definitely see an increase in sales, sooner than later.

Gisele Bundchen is on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar’s UK 2010 September issue.  The supermodel is also featured in an editorial spread inside.  Photographer Cedric Buchet captured her in a series of sultry poses.  Sophia Neophitou-Apostolou styled Bundchen in beautiful lace with a side of thigh-high stockings and garter belt.  Just a visual flashback to her Victoria’s Secret days.  She shows us once again why she is the world’s highest paid model, and she does it with such ease.

Gisele Bundchen and Heidi Klum top Forbes’ list of the highest paid models two years in a row.  Gisele earned $25 million and Heidi earned $16 million dollars in 2009.  There are at least six current or former Victoria’s Secret models on this list.  Is that a coincidence?  It apparently pays to be an ‘Angel’.  See the other models who made the list.

It’s Cinco de Mayo, so it’s only fitting to feature Gisele Bundchen on the cover of the May issue of Vogue Mexico.  The model has been dominating the Vogue covers since her return from having a new baby.  She’s already graced the covers of American and Korean Vogue this year.  There is no question that she is back, and ready to reclaim her spot as one of the most sort after models in the business.  Fashion photographer Nino Munoz shot the military inspirated cover and editorial.

Gisele Bundchen was already back in model shape weeks after having her son, Benjamin.  Here we see the supermodel in an ad campaign for Colcci, the first since becoming a mother.  She does make motherhood seem effortless, but we know it takes work to make it look so easy.  The Colcci campaign was shot in Boston about eight weeks after Gisele had given birth, and you can barely tell she’d even had a baby.  She still looks great in front of the camera.  It’s too soon to tell right now, but it will be interesting to see the new dimensions motherhood brings to her performance.  Such a life changing experience will only bring more depth and emotion to her photographs.

By now we’ve all seen Gisele Bundchen on the cover of Vogue’s April issue.  It’s a familiar scene, the supermodel has graced the cover countless times.  The major difference is the model is now a mother.  She gained thirty pounds with her newborn son Benjamin, and you would be hard press to find any of that weight on her now.  Gisele credits karate and yoga for getting her back into shape.  The video gives you an insight into the changes in her life since the baby.  A shift has happened, the model has new priorities.  We can see a softer side that was probably there all along, but concealed.  While motherhood may be her priority right now, the business woman is still going strong.  She recently launched a line of organic skincare products, Sejaa.  Gisele appears to have it all, and she makes it look so effortless.
