As if Gisele Bundchen’s 500-foot catwalk wasn’t enough, the Brazilian supermodel also has earned the 2016 Rio Olympics opening ceremony trending title, thanks to a very GIF-able moment.
Bundchen became the golden girl Friday night in Rio de Janiero when she sashayed from one side of the famed Maracana Stadium to the other to the tune of “The Girl From Ipanema.” Illuminated by a single spotlight, Bundchen’s gown, by Brazilian designer Alexandre Herchcovitch, twinkled while the crowd roared.
After the walk, which was the last of her career as she has officially retired from runways, the supermodel took her place among the 78,000-seat audience. She then led her fellow revelers in a dance party during the ceremony, which lasted a total of five hours and aired on NBC.
Watch the moment below.
