Here are some photos of Gisele Bundchen walking her – gasp! – last runway show EVER. Gisele was in Brazil for Sao Paula Fashion Week and yesterday, she walked the runway for Colcci. Gisele announced over the weekend that this would be her last catwalk ever, of her entire modeling career. She’s not retiring in total – she’s still the face of many beauty/fashion/whatever contracts, and she’s still going to model for magazine editorials. She’s just done with the runway.

Her reason for retiring from the runway? She told a Brazilian paper: “Automatically my body tells me if what I do is worth it, and it asked to stop. I respect my body, it’s a privilege to be able to stop. Stopping will leave room for other projects I have for myself.” She also posted this message on Instagram: “I am grateful that at 14, I was given the opportunity to start this journey. Today after 20 years in the industry, it is a privilege to be doing my last fashion show by choice and yet still be working in other facets of the business.”

So what does Tom Brady think of his wife’s decision? He posted this on Facebook:

“Congratulations Love of my Life. You inspire me every day to be a better person. I am so proud of you and everything you have accomplished on the runway. I have never met someone with more of a will to succeed and determination to overcome any obstacle in the way. You never cease to amaze me. Nobody loves life more then you and your beauty runs much deeper then what the eye can see. I can’t wait to see what’s next. I love you. #?GOAT #?thebestisyettocome.”

#GOAT meaning “greatest of all time” I’m assuming. A nice compliment from a husband to a wife, but I do wonder if we will regard Gisele as the greatest model of all time. She’s a great model, for sure. She’s one of the biggest and richest models of all time, definitely. Personally though, I don’t think Gisele’s retirement from the runway is such a huge deal because for years now, she’s basically only walked in Brazil. She retired from Victoria’s Secret years ago and I can’t remember the last time she walked a runway in Paris or London or New York. It was probably just before or just after she got pregnant with Ben? It’s been years.

Anyway, so long Gisele. We’ll see you on about a million magazine covers this year, I’m sure.
