Gisele Bündchen
No list of Brasileiras would be complete without the queen bee Gisele Caroline Bündchen
The world was introduced to Bündchen in the late 90’s and she quickly conquered the world of modeling and credited with ending the era of heroin chic in fashion. Off the catwalk she even lassoed Captain America himself – Tom Brady. Most recently, represented Brazil in perhaps the most visual way possible by walking down a ginormous runway in the opening ceremonies of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. If that doesn’t say patria pride we don’t know what does.
