Gisele Bundchen in black Givenchy at the Met Gala: boringly beautiful?

I’ve lost count of how many times Gisele Bundchen has been to the Met Gala. I only started paying attention when she and Tom Brady began walking the red carpet together. It’s now become an annual thing, and one of the few times in any given year when Gisele and Tom actually pose on a red carpet together. For this year’s Met Gala, I don’t really think Tom was at his best. Honestly, he looks pretty rough. And yes, his hair is really doing that. Did Gisele put him up to that? He’s said before that she’s in charge of his hair. Did she style him?

But Gisele looks good. She’s wearing this black Givenchy, which fits her like a glove. Gisele in Givenchy… it’s kind of boringly beautiful, right? I like it better than the red McQueen she wore last year, but this look feels like something we’ve seen a million times before, on many, many different girls. It also feels like this dress was Gisele’s second choice? Like she had something show-stopping as her first choice, but decided to go more low-key in black. The only thing I can really nit-pick on the dress is the weird front slit. I’m not opposed to a sexy slit, but I’m not sure if it fits on this dress.

I like the simplicity of Gisele’s styling – small earrings, no necklace, no bracelets, simple makeup. Dislike the hair – the Croydon facelift is not Gisele’s friend.

    I like her gown. What’s with his hair?

    • Mia says:

      The dress was presented in gold at the runway, and it was amazing. The black took the beauty of the dress away.

  2. Sherri says:

    not bad – she looks regal . . .and that’s a stretch for her . . .so good job on this choice –

  3. Katren says:

    do Toms shoes have bows on them???

    • another nina says:

      No, buckles. But he looks very very weird hair-wise…And look at his face expression on the Jolie’s legs pose – is he mad at her?

  4. Aria says:

    Lol at her “Jolie Leg”!!!

    • Liane says:

      Totally! It looks like she’s trying to show Jolie how it’s done. Maybe that’s why she chose this dress.

    • mokona says:

      Lol at HIS Jolie leg!

    • Rhiley says:

      I was looking for this comment because I saw these pics on pop sugar last night and I thought they were both trying to dang hard with the Jolie leg. I love that nobody is really paying attention to hers.

  5. Dorothy#1 says:

    OMG his hair! WTF??

  6. HoustonGrl says:

    Wow. I think she is stunning. As for Tom’s hair…well, Ace Ventura might have something to say about that.

    • arock says:

      his shoes!
      with little bows (?) on them. they look like Lord Cuttingham dressing gown slippers.

  7. Sisi says:

    I love her hair, she looks much better with a sidepart, makes her look less frigid

  8. tracking says:

    She looks phenomenal. Not digging the velvet jacket on Tom. Maybe he let one of his boys style his hair?

  9. Marjalane says:

    I think she looks stupid. I get that she’s a “model”, but it’s like she’s making “mocking a model” poses. Both their hair do’s are don’ts, in my opinion.

    • DreamyK says:

      I don’t know when exactly Gisele crossed the line into manliness, but she has. Tom looks uncomfortable and ridiculous. Congrats, Gisele. You have sucked the hot out of him.

  10. DavidBowie says:

    Is he channeling Cameron Diaz in “Something About Mary” w/ that hair? Lawd!

  11. poppy says:

    he’s such a moron. i think she insisted on his hair-do and frou frou shoes.

  12. Tapioca says:

    She actually looks quite lovely and feminine in the top two pics – for someone with no curves and a somewhat mannish jaw – but then unfortunately so does her Yoko-Ono’d lesbian life partner.

    Oh dear Tom Brady!

    • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

      Lol. Great bod, manly face.

      I love the combo bad hair/crotch itch photos of Brady. He looks like that Ed Grimley character Martin Short used to play on SNL. I think she likes to ugly him up so we can all laugh at his expense.

  13. bella says:

    what did she do to my man’s hair? that can’t be deliberate…i’d like to see other photos from later in the night. hopefully he corrected that disaster. don’t know why, but giselle doesn’t look as spectacular as previous years. she seems uncomfortable or something…just off.

    • Anonny says:

      “Off”? No, I think it’s aging. She’s losing whatever little facial fat pads she had, which makes her look even more angular.

  14. Jordan says:

    I like the dress. Everytime I see her face, I’m shocked at how plain she is to be a supermodel, but she has a great body. Tom looks like he also borrowed Ben Stiller’s ‘hair gel’.

    • gigi says:

      As Giselle matures, her face just keeps getting more manly. She needs the long hair to frame and soften the plainness of her face. The Jolie leg is fun but the dress looks sooo boring in that color, even when it’s on that body.

  15. mia girl says:

    Kaiser ITA, variations of this dress have been worn before (most recently by Kristen Stewart at a premiere – right down to the leather belt!). So, while she looks great in the dress, I am not sure why she would choose a recycled look for this event.

    Brady – that hair?! – I can only imagine what all the guys on sports radio are saying about this today.

  16. stephanie says:

    WTF is going on with TB’s fauxhawk.

  17. Nicole says:

    Can I just say her body looks fuller? And by fuller, I mean less athletic and more soft. It’s a nice change. I think she has more shape than we’ve ever seen her have. On a side note, how much do they look like brother and sister? It’s weird!

    • Janice says:

      That’s what I always think when I see them together! They look exactly alike.

  18. Sisi says:

    It Tom Brady grabbing his crotch in the top pic?

  19. Dee Cee says:

    They both pull an Angelina leg poise.. how creative and zestful..?

  20. tripmom says:

    boring? yeah i’d be devastated if i was as boring looking as gisele. jealous much?

  21. TheOriginalKitten says:

    Nice shampoo horn, Tom.

    Wow..Giselle looks INCREDIBLE. I can’t tell if she’s posing or if that’s just her natural bitch-face. Anyway, she is working it.

  22. Katalina says:

    Am I the only one who thinks that Gisele is trying to make them into the Beckhams?

  23. Jenna says:

    Yes, hate the hair. The dress is fine, but then again I feel like she’s done this a million times before so…bleh.

  24. Bobby sue says:

    AWFUL! ALL OF IT:
    Tom’s hair
    His ill-tied bow tie
    His blue velvet smoking jacket
    His weird bowed slippers
    His scruff! How about a shave for a big event?
    Her terrible over-the-top posing
    Her severe hair that does nothing for her face
    Her dress
    and finally…the Aniston heels that so many celebitchers complain about!
    UGHHH

  25. Maritza says:

    The dress is beautiful she looks fine but she should at least smile.

  26. sallyreo says:

    In the first pic, does he need to pee?

  27. Rory says:

    I don’t get the appeal of this woman. I don’t even find her attractive. She was even less so before her plastic surgery. Yes, she has a model’s body, but the face? Homelier than a hedge-fence, sorry. I liked Tom Brady more with Bridget Moynihan.

  28. ladybert62 says:

    I like the dress – too bad she is so ugly. Hate the trampie-jolie leg thrust! Hubby’s hair looks weird. Hers hair looks greasy.

  29. MollyB says:

    In the first picture, he looks like a toddler who has to pee! Can’t stand either of these two, honestly.

  30. mel says:

    Gorgeous..I just hate slicked back hair on women…its not flattering..why do women think its flattering…I just don’t get his hair do.

  31. TheOriginalVictoria says:

    I love it. The gold version was sooo extra.

    Her Met dresses are never wrong. classy.

  32. original kate says:

    he looks stunningly douchey here.

  33. mar says:

    I love it

  34. Amy says:

    Aw, Tom Brady and Cameron Diaz had the same hairstyle.

  35. NeoCleo says:

    I don’t get the “beautiful” here with Bundchen. She is very mannish looking facially. Her husband is prettier than she.

  36. Kim says:

    Shes trying to hard to copy Angelinas Oscar look, complete with the jutting leg. Also her hair & makeup are to casual for a black tie affair.

  37. Psyren says:

    I like the dress but her face has always just looked so hard and manly to me. Pulling her hair back in such a severe style doesn’t help.

  38. jellyfish says:

    wow tom looks awful lol. the suit the hair it was all a mess.

  39. Samantha says:

    Lainey posted some photos were Giselle is straight up channeling LeAnn Rimes. The head thrown back, mouth wide open in a fake laugh. What was she thinking?

  40. ryan says:

    Her toes look like fingers. Yikes.

  41. Amy says:

    One of the best dresses I saw from the pictures of that night!

  42. still the reigning king and queen of the met gala.

  43. Jen34 says:

    I can’t stop laughing.
