Gisele Bündchen Shines in Doha Following February Birth, Embraces New Chapter
A radiant Gisele Bündchen captivated onlookers during a series of stylish appearances in Doha, Qatar, marking her first red carpet events since welcoming her third child in February. The supermodel’s outings signal a return to public life and a celebration of motherhood, creativity, and new beginnings.
Gisele, 45, turned heads Sunday night at the Franca Fund Gala, a tribute to the late Italian Vogue editor Franca Sozzani. She donned a shimmering black gown featuring long sleeves and an asymmetrical hemline that gracefully fell to her ankles. The ensemble was completed with black pointed heels, dazzling diamond jewelry, and her signature blonde hair styled in loose, beachy waves.
Just two days prior, Bündchen stunned at the Fashion Trust Arabia 2025 Awards in a striking metallic gown. The dress, featuring a daring thigh slit and a chic chest cutout, was paired with metallic gold open-toed heels, gold jewelry, and a coordinating gold clutch. She shared photos from the event on social media, writing, “Such a special night in Qatar celebrating FTA.”
The events in Qatar represent Bündchen’s first red carpet appearances since giving birth to a baby boy with her partner, Joaquim Valente. She is also mother to Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12, from her previous marriage to NFL star Tom Brady. While the baby’s name remains private, Bündchen has offered glimpses into her life as a new mother.
In a heartfelt Mother’s Day post on Instagram, Bündchen reflected on the joys and quiet moments of motherhood. “I’ve been quiet over here but very busy living life,” she wrote. “Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren’t shared – they’re simply lived.” She continued, emphasizing the importance of presence and connection: “Lately, I’ve been embracing the slower rhythms, the real connections, the beauty in the lessons that come with being present.”
Bündchen also expressed gratitude for the role of mother, stating, “Being a mother, it’s been my greatest gift, a journey that humbles me, teaches me, and fills me with gratitude every single day.”
The Brazilian beauty recently opened up about the challenges and rewards of adjusting to life with a newborn. “Now that my little one is sleeping through the night, I’m back in control of my routine,” she told Vogue France. “As any new mom knows, it’s incredible how much sleep – or lack of it – can change everything! But once again, I feel truly grateful: being able to be home with my kids and enjoy every moment with them is priceless.”
Bündchen’s relationship with Joaquim Valente, a jiujitsu instructor, began in June 2023, following her divorce from Brady in 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
Her return to the fashion world extends beyond red carpet appearances. Bündchen starred in a campaign for the Swedish fashion label Marc O’Polo in April 2025 and followed that with a captivating appearance in Elisabetta Franchi’s Fall 2025 campaign during the summer. These professional commitments demonstrate her continued influence and enduring appeal in the industry.
