Gisele Bundchen Models for Balenciaga

What does Tom Brady think?

When I first hear Gisele Bundchen would be modeling for Balenciaga, I knew she was absolutely perfect. And now that I've seen the photos, I'm in complete awe! Gisele looks totally different; but still as beautiful as ever. Do you agree?

WWD.com calls the new Balenciaga ads starring Gisele Bundchen, "striking and disquieting ads" and I have to agree. They're not very typical Gisele-like, but they certainly show her versatility as a model. 

Gisele is dressed in funky prints and colors and donning a kind-of boyish haircut (OK, so it's probably a wig). She looks stunning, but so not like herself. And hopefully Tom Brady isn't feeling any jealousy over the male model who's posing in the ads with Gisele. His name is Yuri Pieskun and he looks rather like a demon, in scary makeup and draped in a cape, wearing boots (look at that leg!).

The photos were shot by Steven Meisel and styled by Marie-Amélie Sauvé and I have a feeling some people will absolutely love them, while others will hate them. 

Is Balenciaga trying to be too "high fashion" with these ads or are they totally working it the right way with Gisele Bundchen?
