Gisele Bündchen Puts a Modern Twist on the Mary Jane at the Franca Fund Gala

The model sparkled in a black head-to-toe look from Chanel.

Gisele Bündchen sparkled in a head-to-toe Chanel look over the weekend, punctuating her look with a pair of glossy black pumps.

The supermodel hit the red carpet ahead of the Franca Fund Gala on Sunday. Held at the Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar, the event drew a lineup of high profile guests including Tyra Banks, Regina King and Tessa Thompson.

Bündchen opted for a classic look, wearing an all-black ensemble to the gala. She paired it with coordinating black pointed-toe heels that teetered between traditional ankle strap pumps and mary janes. The shoes, which featured a 3- to 4-inch heel, were crafted in a glossy black leather with a sharply tapered toe and a slim ankle strap for extra support.

While Bündchen’s pair leaned toward a more traditional pointed-toe ankle strap pump, the lower ankle strap was reminiscent of the classic prep silhouette. Mary janes themselves have been a staple for decades now, going in and out of popularity. The classic silhouette remains a favorite among many, with other stars like Julia Roberts and Lady Gaga wearing the style recently. The classic version of a mary jane will never go out, but brands like Christian Louboutin, Bottega Veneta, ChanelMiu Miu and more, keep the style fresh by bringing updated and fun takes on the shoe.

For the rest of her ensemble, the model wore a black knit mesh dress from Chanel, detailed with sparkly sequined thread woven throughout. Bündchen also accessorized with Chanel jewels, including the Comete Necklace, coordinating earrings and a statement ring.

After taking a brief hiatus from the red carpet circuit after having her third child in February, Bündchen hit not only this event, but another over the weekend. She also was in attendance to the Fashion Trust Arabia Awards, which were also held in Doha.
