The star of the carnival was her.
This year, the carnival runs from February 17 to 22, but in Rio de Janeiro the festivities were at their peak on Saturday February 18 and Sunday February 19.
An event that Gisele Bündchen would not have missed for anything in the world.
On Sunday, the top model born in Rio Grande do Sul published, in story of her Instagram account, a series of videos where she speaks in Portuguese.
“
Quem é que manda no samba aqui
?”
(“Who is the samba master here?”), she asks the crowd.
We see her bursting with energy, partying with her friends and then cheering on the dancers of the samba school parade on Marquês de Sapucaí Avenue.

A cheerful supporter
Dressed in low-waisted white jeans, a black and gold crop-top with the logo of Brahma, a brand of Brazilian beer, large gold bracelets on the wrists, the former Victoria's Secret Angel could almost have been part of the dancers on allegorical floats.
But for once, the top was not part of the parade.
The 42-year-old Brazilian proved to be one of the most enthusiastic spectators.
Arms in the air in the front row of the spectacular carnival floats, we see her blowing kisses and forming hearts with her fingers in the direction of the members of the Grande Rio school, which paid tribute to the musician Zeca Pagodinho.
In video, swaying rhythmically and catchy samba, Gisele Bündchen prepares for the carnival
This is the first carnival that Gisele Bündchen attends as a single person.
Her divorce from Tom Brady was pronounced on October 28, after 13 years of marriage and two children, Benjamin (13) and Vivian (10).
Since then, the top seems to be turning more to her Brazilian roots.
Like a return to basics.
