Model cried when forced to walk t0pless at fashion show
Gisele Bundchen, who is widely regarded as one of the most successful supermodels of all time, has recently revealed that she cried when she was forced to walk topless in a fashion show.
The Brazilian beauty, who was just 18 years old at the time and barely spoke English, was cast in a 1998 Alexander McQueen show that required her to hit the runway without a top.
In her new memoir titled “Lessons,” Bundchen describes feeling terrified during the experience.
In her memoir, Bundchen writes that she began to cry and had no idea what to do.
She thought about how disappointed and embarrassed her parents would be and attempted to hold back her tears, but they kept flowing.

The black feathers glued to her lashes began coming unstuck, which made her feel even more distressed.
Bundchen considered leaving and running away from the situation altogether.
There was no way she could go out there without a top.
However, to make her more comfortable, the show’s makeup artist painted a white “top” onto her torso to create the illusion of clothes.
Because the show was set on a rainy runway, no one could tell what was rain and what was tears.
The experience left a lasting impact on Bundchen, who revealed that her family never saw photos from the show.
She wrote, “That was probably the night I started to dissociate, to begin thinking of my public self as her and she.”
The model had always been a good girl and a tomboy.
Her big breasts had embarrassed her since puberty, and she feared her family would feel so embarrassed they would never talk to her again.
Nevertheless, she gave off the impression that she didn’t have a care in the world.
In other parts of her book, Bundchen talks about contemplating suicide and the moment she found out her then-boyfriend Tom Brady had impregnated his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
The memoir titled “Lessons” offers a glimpse into the life of the supermodel, who has been in the industry for over two decades.
Despite the traumatic experience, the fashion show served as a catalyst for the rest of her illustrious career.
Bundchen went on to become one of the most successful supermodels of all time and was named the highest-paid model in the world by Forbes in 2012.
She has been featured on the covers of numerous high-profile magazines, including Vogue, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar.
