No one had to give Gisele a gold medal, she brought all the gold she needed. The gold sequined column dress by hand-picked Brazilian designer Alexandre Herchcovitch, took four months to make.
“It’s a long dress, with a long train, pierced at the front, with pleats at the waist,” said Alexandre to Vogue. “It has long sleeves, a deep V-neck, and a thigh-high slit, leaving the legs fully exposed. The fabric is a mesh, covered with bright golden sequins, double-sided, embroidered horizontally.”
