Newly single, new look.

Tom Brady may have announced his (second) retirement, earlier this month, but ex-wife Gisele Bündchen is going full steam ahead with her career, recently posing for her first Vogue magazine cover since their divorce.

The former Victoria’s Secret model, 42, looks totally unrecognizable on the front of Vogue Italia’s March 2023 issue, sporting a sheer red Valentino gown with a matching scarlet wig and lipstick, super-thin drawn-on brows, and a dramatic smokey eyeshadow look.

In the spread — for which she was “photographed in a new guise,” per the mag — Bündchen tries on a series of other dramatic hairstyles for size, including a platinum blond bob paired with a blue bow-tied Thom Browne blazer dress and a jet-black chin-length chop with Ludovic de Saint Sernin lingerie and a Givenchy trench coat.

She also strikes a pose in a fluffy, fiery red wig styled with a black strapless Off-White dress, and pairs pinup-worthy curls with a Dolce & Gabbana corset gown layered atop pink lingerie.

The Brazilian star has been on something of a sexy world tour since her split, recently recreating her 2004 Rio Carnival look in a crop top and low-slung white pants.

Apparently, Brady, 45, approves of the mom of two getting back into modeling full-time; shortly after she starred in an ad campaign for Louis Vuitton’s collaboration with artist Yayoi Kusama, the NFL great was snapped carrying one of the bags from the collection.
