Yesterday on the world s stage, Brazil beat Mexico in Samara to reach the 2018 World Cup quarter-finals. And while there was certainly sympathy for the losing team, it s hard not to join in on the winner s celebration.
After all, if previous tournaments have taught us anything, it s that Brazil knows just how to celebrate. Need proof? Look no further than its resident supermodels. On the beauty front, the country s most famous bombshells are emerging as the game s clear winners, with aspirational summer hair and skin that glows against their neon-yellow-and-green team regalia.
Vogue s July cover girl Gisele Bündchen s signature sun-kissed surfer waves have been out in full force, while Adriana Lima, who even wore her home turf s jersey during Couture Fashion Week in Paris earlier this week, scraped her dark lengths back into a slicked knot to show off her luminous olive complexion. And with her mile-long limbs, leave it to Alessandra Ambrosio to demonstrate the power of a tactfully-conceived flash of exposed legs in denim cut-offs.
As their hometown team vies for top prize, here are the Brazilian catwalk stars imparting lessons for how to stay cool—and sexy—in the summer heat, from the stadium to the streets.
