'I was terrified': Tom Brady's ex-wife Gisele Bündchen exposed dark truth behind her breakthrough catwalk moment
Gisele Bündchen's career almost ended before it began (Getty Images) Long before Gisele Bündchen became one of the world's highest-paid models and the partner of NFL icon Tom Brady, she almost walked away from the very show that launched her career. In 1998, at just 18 years old, Bündchen was cast in Alexander McQueen's London runway. What should have been her big break quickly spiraled into panic when she learned she would have to walk topless, wearing only a fishtail skirt. A backstage rescue that saved Gisele Bündchen's career The Brazilian model later admitted that fear nearly drove her out of the building. "I was a good girl," she recalled. "I was a tomboy. I was someone whose big breasts has embarrassed her since she'd hit puberty. I was a girl gripped by the fear that my family would feel so embarrassed they would never speak to me again. I was terrified." Her breakdown could have ended the opportunity altogether, but then came the intervention of Val, a make-up artist with a sharp eye and compassion. Instead of forcing her into a situation she dreaded, Val improvised by painting a white 'top' onto Bündchen's body. "As soon as Val, the make-up artist, saw the situation, she said she would paint a top on me using white make-up. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Always Put a Plastic Bottle on Your Tires when Parked, Here's Why Cleverst Undo Val told me how beautiful it looked and said that the runway was so dark that nobody would know. If Val hadn't shown up then, I seriously doubt that I could have walked the runway." That simple act didn't just cover her modesty — it allowed Bündchen to step onto the catwalk, completing the show that turned into the first chapter of her international career. From runway panic to building a life with Tom Brady Looking back, the moment feels like a metaphor for the rest of Bündchen's journey. When fear or criticism loomed, she often found strength through people who believed in her. Years later, that same theme would play out in her marriage to Tom Brady. While their relationship has since ended, Brady was often seen as her grounding force at the height of her modeling superstardom. Fans dubbed him her 'angel' — the steady presence who provided stability when the spotlight grew overwhelming. Their bond, like Val's intervention years earlier, reflected the importance of having someone to lean on when public pressure mounts.

Sometimes it takes an angel — whether in the form of a makeup artist with a paintbrush or a partner on the sidelines — to help someone step into their destiny.

The Prime Minister said that Pakistan offered a neutral probe into the attack, but India refused the offer. Live Events "Pakistan was ready for an international investigation into the Pahalgam incident, but instead of agreeing to it, India attacked Pakistan, which was responded to in a befitting manner," he said. Shehbaz claimed that Pakistan avenged the defeat of the 1971 war. The war between India and Pakistan in 1971 led to the split of Pakistan and the creation of Bangladesh, which was earlier known as East Pakistan. The prime minister also claimed that the Pakistan military only hit the military targets. He handed over cheques of Rs 10 million to the families of those killed during the conflict with India and Rs 1-2 million to the injured. He said that the Pakistani army personnel killed in clashes with India would be paid Rs 10-18 million, depending on their rank.
