The mega-earning supermodel sashays into the sunset as she ends her fairytale career in the place where it all began
The world's most famous supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, has made her final parade down the catwalk in an emotional goodbye in Sao Paulo.
The Brazilian said farewell to her 20-year career as friends and family, including her NFL superstar husband Tom Brady, looked on.
The 34-year-old's swansong took place during the city’s fashion week, the event where she made her debut two decades ago.
She turned out for Colcci, a Brazilian streetwear label, and burst into tears during a final hurrah which saw models emerge in jeans and T-shirts bearing her image.
In a posting on her Instagram account, which showed a photo of her aged 14, the Brazilian beauty wrote: "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."
Bundchen, who has German ancestry, became famous after coming second in a nationwide modelling contest.
She moved to New York and became one of the fashion world’s true icons, rivalling the likes of Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell.
The supermodel's CV is a who's who of haute couture, including the likes of Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Valentino and Versace.
Being linked romantically to the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio and surfer Kelly Slater only added to her marketability.
In 2009, she married Brady, the New England Patriots quarterback and one of American Football’s biggest names, with whom she has two children.
