Paris Fashion Week often holds its share of surprises. This season, one appearance in particular caught everyone's attention: at 58, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Zelauy caused a sensation on the Tom Ford catwalk, reminding everyone that a career in fashion can span decades \u2013 if anyone still doubted it.<\/p>\n
On March 4, 2026, Tom Ford presented its Fall\/Winter 2026\/2027 collection during Paris Fashion Week. For this presentation, creative director Haider Ackermann offered a vision true to the brand's aesthetic: elegant silhouettes, assertive chic, and structured lines.<\/p>\n
Among the models on the catwalk, one figure particularly caught the eye: Gisele Zelauy. With her gray-blonde hair styled back and her confident stride, the model immediately captivated everyone's attention. For many spectators, this appearance also held symbolic significance: it marked the return to a major runway of an iconic figure of 1980s and 1990s fashion.<\/p>\n
While her name may be less familiar to younger generations, Gisele Zelauy has had a significant career in recent fashion history. Born in Brazil in 1967, she rose to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s thanks to her slender figure and distinctive face, notably marked by a "pronounced nose" which became one of her signature features.<\/p>\n
Throughout her career, she walked the runway for several renowned fashion houses, including Chanel, Comme des Gar\u00e7ons, Valentino, Donna Karan, and Giorgio Armani. The latter, in fact, considered her one of his favorite models. Her face also appeared in numerous international magazines, including Vogue, and in campaigns for Calvin Klein. She was photographed by leading figures in fashion photography, notably Richard Avedon and Peter Lindbergh. At that time, her distinctive look allowed her to stand out in a world often dominated by very specific standards. <\/p>\n
