Gisele Bundchen in Vanity Fair
Oh, Gisele Bundchen. Is it even remotely possible for you to take a bad picture? Probably not, particularly when Mario Testino is behind the camera. Bundchen’s Vanity Fair spread is without a doubt one of the most beautiful things to ever appear on the planet earth. In the interview, Gisele talks about being an awkward teenager and how she morphed into one of the most incredible physical specimens of all time.
Everything about her is so elongated and slender—those impossibly attenuated limbs! the swanlike neck!—that she seems almost preposterous, like a cartoon figure. Nearly six feet tall by the age of 13, she spent her childhood being teased by classmates who called her Olive Oyl.
But Popeye’s rail-thin girlfriend never tantalized anyone with the luscious curves that catapulted Gisele to stardom in her late teens, replacing the pale, wasted “heroin chic” of that era with “the return of the sexy model.” Since then, the tanned, athletic Brazilian beach babe who seemed born to wear a bikini has become the world’s most successful supermodel, amassing a fortune estimated at $150 million; last year alone, according to Forbes, Gisele earned $35 million. The 16th-richest woman in the entertainment industry, she has been featured on more magazine covers than any other model and has appeared as the face of more than 20 brands internationally, with current contracts including Dior, Versace, Max Factor, Ebel watches, and the Dolce & Gabbana fragrance The One.

Gisele is proof that you can never be too thin or too rich. She’s like a good chocolate bar only sexier.
