Posted on August 20, 2014 by Tom Castaneda

There’s no doubt Gisele Bündchen is a top model…

The 33-year-old Brazilian supermodel has been declared the highest-earning model of 2014, according to Forbes.

The financial magazine estimates Bündchen’s fortune at “$47 million before taxes and fees in the last 12 months.”

It’s the eighth year in a row that Bündchen, who was named the new face of Chanel No. 5 in May, has topped the list of top-earning models.

Bündchen’s lucrative contracts with fashion brands like H&M and Chanel, as well asgigs with Pantene, have helped her build a massive empire.

Bündchen, who is married to NFL quarterback Tom Brady, far outpaced the next highest-earning models, Doutzen Kroes and Adriana Lima, whose earnings were pegged at $8 million each.

Lima, a Victoria’s Secret Angel since 2000, is the lingerie giant’s longest-running model.

The two Kates — Kate Moss and Kate Upton — Miranda Kerr and Liu Wen all pulled in $7 million.

Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover girl Upton is the highest-earning newcomer on the list.

Meanwhile, Alessandra Ambrosio comes in at No. 8 on the list. With her own clothing line and deals with H&M and Victoria’s Secret, the Brazilian supermodel raked in $5 million in 2014.

Lima Impresses on This Year’s “Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show”

Posted on December 5, 2012 by Tom Castaneda

Adriana Lima should be called a superwoman…

During last night’s televised Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, the 31-year-old Brazilian supermodel strutted her stuff on the runway a mere two months after giving birth to her second daughter.

Lima made her grand entrance in scarlet lace lingerie during runway show, which was taped last month and broadcast on CBS on Tuesday night.

Along with Lima’s impressive comeback, the show’s highlights Rihanna rocking out in a lingerie-inspired look during her special performance of her single “Fresh Out the Runway” at the end of the corset-and-garter parade, earning the audience’s biggest applause while holding her own on the same catwalk as some of the world’s top models.

Meanwhile, Alessandra Ambrosio‘s orchid-petal wings might have lacked a little pizzazz, but she made up for it by donning a $2.5 million jeweled “floral fantasy bra.”

“It’s highly televised, and you take that into consideration,” said model Joan Smalls ahead of the show. “This is kind of not the same as other runways. You have to prepare your body: No. 1 is the wings are heavy, and No. 2 is you have to be comfortable with your body because the camera will pick up on it if you’re not comfortable and confident.”

This year’s show was divided into six sections: Circus, complete with acrobats, contortionists and a sword eater; Dangerous Liaisons; Pink Is Us; Silver Screen Angels; Angels in Bloom; and Calendar Girls, which allowed Bruno Mars to serenade a model for each month of the year.

This year’s show included an announcement that Victoria’s Secret and CBS had each made a donation to relief efforts for Hurricane Sandy, as well as a thank you to the National Guard members based out of the Lexington Avenue Armory that has been home to the show for years.

Posted on November 8, 2012 by Tom Castaneda

Talk about impressive… Two months after giving birth to her second child, Adriana Lima isn’t afraid to show off her oh-so-taut post-baby body…

The 31-year-old Brazilian supermodel, who gave birth to daughter Sienna eight weeks ago, was among the gorgeous gals who modeled Victoria’s Secret’s latest collection of lingerie at a fashion show in New York City.

Lima served as a “ringleader” in an embroidered satin red gown that opened at the front to reveal her Victoria’s Secret push-up bra and sexy black high-waisted panties.

Later she traded her “Circus” outfit for a Victoria’s Secret Angel Fantasies bra and garter skirt completed with a rose petal and leaf bustle for an “Angels in Bloom” series.

Meanwhile, fellow Brazilian bombshell Alessandra Ambrosio showed off her own post-baby curves during the show.

The 31-year-old supermodel, who gave birth to her second child, Noah, in May 2012, donned a bedazzled corset, a headpiece and Sexy Little Things bow back panties for the “Circus” segment. And she looked stunning with her orchid wings and leaf bustle that complimented the Floral Fantasy Bra gift set quite well during the “Angels in Bloom” segment.

It’s all part of the 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, which will be broadcast on December 4 at 10:00 pm on CBS.

Lima Gives Birth to Her Second Child…

Posted on September 14, 2012 by Tom Castaneda

Victoria’s Secret Angel Adriana Lima has a new angel in her brood…

The 31-year-old Brazilian supermodel and her husband Marko Jaric welcomed daughter Sienna into the world on Wednesday in New York City.

It’s the second child for the happy couple, who are already parents to 2-year-old Valentina.

Lima announced the birth via Twitter, writing, “Marko and I are overjoyed to welcome Sienna into our family and Valentina is looking forward to becoming a big sister!”

So what’s next for Lima now that she’s given birth? Something on tap?

Six months into her pregnancy, Lima told People, “I’ve been craving beer. It’s very strange because I normally don’t like beer. Now I want some but I cannot drink it. It’s been very hard!”

But Lima will have to get back into model shape soon… She’s expected to hit the runway in oh-so-skimpy styles for The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show , which will air on CBS in December.
