MIAMI, FLORIDA: Gisele Bundchen looked stunning in a white one-shoulder gown as she attended the annual Luz Alliance Gala to support the Brazil Foundation on Saturday, May 20. The 42-year-old model attended the Miami event in an effort to raise money for forest restoration efforts in her native Brazil by having her gown put up for auction.
The Brazilian model paired her white one-shoulder gown with mint-green heels, and jade and diamond earrings. She maintained her subtle yet stunning appearance by letting her honey-blonde hair fall over her shoulders in gorgeous beach waves. She originally wore the white dress in 2019; it was one of her vintage Stella McCartney pieces, according to Daily Mail. Bundchen auctioned it off for $48K in an effort to raise money for reforestation projects in Brazil. Nearly $1 million was raised during the gala for environmental preservation and restoration initiatives.
