Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.

some are very gaucho for sure, no one would say “tri legal” here on the northeast.
But hey, putz is universal

She only speaks kind of him! I don’t get their hate. She never bashed him at all.

They’re like zombies. They seem to have lost the fact she wasn’t a gold digger, she wanted him to be with her and the kids…not out there running his body into the ground. It’s so bizarre how they see her.

It’s so weird watching this as a Brazilian, like, we say 99% of those, ALL THE TIME, so it’s weird thinking that this is something new to other people and btw, love you Gisele 😂❤

As an American you’d be surprised how uncultured many of us Americans are. We’re like the only country who hardly knows more than English. Lol. Gisele speaks Portuguese,English,Spanish and some French,German and a little Italian.

The perfect personification of Brazilian beauty was Bruna Lombardi when she was young. Perfect 10! Stunning!

Gisele is absolutely stunning. Seems like she’s capable of going anything as long as she puts her mind and her heart into it.

It’s easy to be Giselle, it’s difficult to be Brady. There are probably million other prettier women on earth, but there’s no American football player greater than Brady.
Bella Martino
March 22, 2023 at 11:43 am
Aw and who’s on the cover of all major magazine covers around the world? Not him. Y’all greatly overstate his relevancy. If anything he became more world famous bc of HER. She only got more known in American sports bubbles. He actually gained some fame worldwide when he met her. They called him “Gisele’s husband” in every country name n the world except the US. Lol. I guess it’s true many Americans are uncultured and think the world revolves around them. 🙄 American football isn’t even important outside of US.

@Bella Martino I’m Indian not American first of all. I’ve seen Brady on T shirts and newspaper here in a country with absolutely miniscule number of NFL viewers, had no clue who she was until I saw her on his instagram. And since there’s no dearth of pretty women on earth it does become difficult to even remember faces of models if not reminded by the internet. Even on this post I thought she was Justin Bieber’s wife first before I read the caption. But there’s only one Brady, and even though NFL isn’t even broadcasted in my country and I have to watch it online whenever I do watch it I still know who he is. So who was more famous again??
Daniel Silva
March 22, 2023 at 2:48 pm
In Europe no one knows who he is. She’s still more famous than him here.

It’s funny how the media disingenuously promote countries like Brazil and virtue signal it while botching names, people and places. São Paolo?! Really?!? and Sao sounding like Zao instead of Saun. The same ilk media were duped by Nithyananda and his fake Kailasa country. The media amounts to pure authorities in BS.. “A las Vegas” with these güeys.

Better off? Without his lovely charismatic wife? Let’s not forget she wanted him to retire…she wanted him to stay with her and the kids, to remain healthy and happy. She didn’t push him to keep working and making money. She wanted someone to enjoy life with.
I’m afraid he’s really going to regret it.
