Gisele Bündchen gets cheeky in daring thong swimsuit for sexy photo shoot

She’s still got it.

Gisele Bündchen was photographed showcasing her fit physique in a plunging purple Versace swimsuit for a photo shoot near Miami on Friday.

The 42-year-old — who has a reported $400 million fortune from her successful modeling career and was the world’s highest-paid catwalker from 2002 to 2016 — appears to have returned to her profession after divorcing Tom Brady.

Bündchen was seen in images obtained by Page Six posing in front of the camera like a pro.

She was seen seductively looking up at the sun as she showed off her Prince-worthy suit, which features long sleeves and a dramatic cowl hood.

While it’s unclear what Bündchen was shooting, she’s posed for a number of Versace ads over the course of her decades-long career — most recently in 2017, when she modeled in the house’s 40th anniversary campaign.

She’s also long favored Versace for red carpet events, having worn memorable looks by the luxury label to several Met Galas with ex Brady, 45.

Bündchen quit runway modeling in 2015 to spend time in Boston with her family — returning just once, to represent Brazil during the opening ceremony of the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

But since her split from Brady, the mother of two has gotten back into the game, recently starring in Louis Vuitton’s colorful campaign for its collaboration with artist Yayoi Kusama. In an unexpected twist, her ex-husband was spotted carrying a bag from the collection days later.

Bündchen has also been spotted working on getting back in shape with her rumored love interest and trainer, Joaquim Valente.

Last week, the pair were seen going on a sweaty run together in Costa Rica and then were photographed getting even more exercise on a leisurely horse ride.

Bündchen has not commented on whether she is dating Valente, but a source has not completely ruled out a relationship between the duo.

“Gisele adores and trusts [Joaquim] and has been spending a lot of time with him, but I don’t think it’s a traditional dating scenario,” an insider recently told People.

“They have a deep personal relationship, and he is a teacher to her and the kids. Whether or not it will ever become more than that rests on the table.”

While Bündchen appears to be getting her groove back, Brady is more focused on family time.

The seven-time Super Bowl champ was going out for a pizza date with his kids in Miami this week as his team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, failed to make it to the NFL playoffs.

An ESPN reporter released a report Thursday speaking about how Brady’s personal life affected his physical health — causing him to lose a reported 15 pounds — and career this past year.

“Tampa Bay’s team struggled this season. There is no doubt the offense never clicked … but Brady also knows his own mental focus was gone for a bulk of the season,” Jeff Darlington said in a video he tweeted.

“His physical stature, faced with 15 pounds of weight loss, was also in peril.”

The TV host added of Brady, “He felt at times like his preseason anguish ended his chances at success before the regular season had even started.”

Brady and Bündchen officially called it quits in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage and two kids together.

Leading up to the divorce, Page Six exclusively learned last September that the former Victoria’s Secret Angel had gotten into an “epic” fight with the NFL star over his decision to un-retire.

Bündchen then decided to start working again and starred in a Burberry campaign at the time.

“It’s almost like Gisele was like, ‘Well, if you’re going to keep playing, so will I,’” a source previously told us. “She’s resentful that Tom is still the football superstar.”
