Gisele Bündchen Hits the Catwalk at New York Fashion Week

What Super Bowl outburst? After a particularly rough week — where she watched her husband’s Patriots lose the big game and then shared some not-so-nice words about his teammates — Gisele Bündchen got back to doing what she does best on Saturday, walking the runway for designer Alexander Wang at New York Fashion Week.

There were rumblings of her appearance before the show (as the team at Fashionista Tweeted, “Freaking GISELE backstage at alex wang”) and once she did hit the catwalk, wearing an asymmetrical military-inspired black leather coat and matching boots, she was met with cheers.

“It was special to walk in the Alexander Wang show on Saturday,” Bündchen told PEOPLE exclusively following the show. “He is an innovative designer and a sweet person. I look forward to working with him in the future.”

Bündchen wasn’t the only big name in the house, however: she was joined by Carmen Kass, Shalom Harlow and Karolina Kurkova, who all received big rounds of applause, as well.

Gisele Bündchen and Erin Wasson: The New Faces of ESPRIT

In honor of its overhaul, Esprit is enlisting the help of two gorgeous women to celebrate its new look and identity. The brand recently announced that models Gisele Bündchen and Erin Wasson are the new faces of the line’s fall campaign, which launches next month.

“Using Erin and Gisele has really elevated the brand,” John Gunn, continental president of Esprit North America, tells WWD. “We were a little disjointed between how our stores looked and how the product and marketing looked. We were trying to go after the 28- to 34-year-old woman and showing 18-year-olds in ads.” He says the new target consumer is a woman who’s “forever 30.”

The new models bring years of stylish experience to the table: supermodel Bündchen worked the camera for H&M and took a boyish turn with Balenciaga, among other projects, while Wasson designs her own line, Erin Wasson x RVCA, and served as Justin Timberlake’s sidekick at William Rast. Tell us: What do you think of Bündchen and Wasson as the new faces of Esprit?

It’s a 4-Way (Ankle) Tie: Who Looks Best in Isabel Marant Pumps?

This season, four very different fashionistas have been stepping out in raffia and leather “Gava” pumps by Isabel Marant. While it’s not unusual for stars to go head to head in similar styles, these funky kicks have managed to bridge the gap between supermodel and executive, ingénue and country star. On April 6, Transformers beauty Rosie Huntington-Whitely sported the $825 pair with similarly-hued separates and a complementary hat. The following month, Gisele Bündchen added panache to a work-ready ensemble with the pumps’ thick ankle cuffs. For the CFDA awards, J.Crew creative director Jenna Lyons juxtaposed electric green sequins with the must-have shoe. Then, two days later, LeAnn Rimes dressed down the versatile heels with a layered tunic dress. We think the “Gava” adds an unexpected element to all four looks, but want to hear from you!

POLL: Which Couple Was the Met Gala’s Most Dashing?

Everyone made a style statement at Vogue‘s Met Costume Institute Gala in New York Monday night, but the best accessory of the evening? A hot guy in a tux! Many of Hollywood’s style stars stepped out with their husbands and boyfriends, who dutifully took a backseat as their leading ladies shined in designer gowns. Co-chair Colin Firth accompanied wife Livia, who wore an eco-friendly Stella McCartney jumpsuit and skirt. New parents Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom almost looked wedding-ready, she in a white Marchesa mini, he in black tie. Fergie, also in Marchesa, was enveloped in lace — and in the arms of her hubby, Josh Duhamel. Gisele Bündchen, in Alexander McQueen (the night’s honoree), stood tall next to her longhaired husband, Tom Brady. Ryan Seacrest and girlfriend Julianne Hough coordinated, both wearing Burberry. And Beyoncé, in Emilio Pucci, got some help walking up the stairs from white-tux-clad husband Jay-Z. We think they all looked fabulous, but want to know: who was your favorite?

Gisele: Tom Brady’s Long Hair Is ‘All Good’

Tom Brady has sported his fair share of hairstyles in recent months — remember that ponytail? — but no matter what his locks look like, wife Gisele Bündchen says she approves. The supermodel told reporters Monday evening at the Met Costume Institute Gala in New York that her hubby, who had a long, slicked-back look at the event, can wear his hair however he may please. “That’s his choice,” Bündchen said. “He does what he wants. I love him no matter what — short, bald, fat. It’s all good. It’s all good.” She’s certainly loved a lot of his looks this year, including a shaggy, Justin Bieber-esque cut that eventually grew into the infamous ponytail he wore at Carnival in Brazil. And though the football star can do no wrong in his wife’s eyes, at least when it comes to his hair, we wonder, does she have a say in how how he rocks his locks? Tell us: What length do you think is best for Brady’s hair? –Kim Peiffer

Gisele Bündchen Goes Boho for H&M Spring Ads

Though we’re used to seeing Gisele Bündchen in edgy editorials, the supermodel reveals her softer side in new ads for H&M‘s spring collection. Draped in earthy tones, floral maxiskirts and boho accessories, Bündchen is refreshingly feminine and approachable in the images; a stark contrast to her recent gender-bending turn for Balenciaga. For the laid-back photos, shot by Daniel Jackson, hairstylist Serge Normant perfected the star’s trademark beach-fresh ringlets, while Robert Rydberg’s effortless styling got us jonesing for sandal weather. And while we’re on the fence about the flesh-colored playsuit (below), we think Bündchen pulls the look off with aplomb. Tell us: What do you think of Bündchen’s hippie-chic ads for H&M? –Justine Harman
