When you hear the name Gisele Bündchen, you likely think of the Brazilian supermodel in a high-fashion catwalk setting—perhaps bringing her iconic stomp to brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, or Chloé. But since retiring from the runway in 2015 (though she still regularly pops up in various campaigns), the model has been focusing on motherhood and raising her three children—and she’s been totally nailing the art of rich-mom style in the process. These days, you can regularly catch Bündchen running around, family in tow, wearing outfits that are casual yet effortlessly put together.
Take her latest sighting: The model was seen departing from Santos Dumont Airport in Rio de Janeiro earlier today alongside her husband, Joaquim Valente, and their son. Her airport style? It’s a masterclass in model-off-duty, mom-on-duty dressing. Bündchen wore a classic white tank top and straight-leg jeans, but dressing things up with strategic pieces like a beige linen shirt, a Chanel chevron tote (from the resort 2017 Cuba collection—talk about a fabulous plane bag), and backless Miu Miu topsiders. Don’t forget the glamorous shield shades.

The polished travel outfit is precisely the kind of nonchalant vibe you’d expect from a rich mom like Bündchen: It feels trendy and fashion-minded, without trying too hard. Her approach to accessorizing also proves that a great investment bag and shoe will instantly transform your whole outfit—it’s a styling hack that many models of the moment incorporate into their day-to-day style.
So, the next time you’re jetting off on a trip and need an easy plane getup? Just channel your best chic mom energy like Bündchen, and remember to combine trusted basics with your best designer accents. That being said. . .now who do we talk to about having Bündchen return to the runway?
