Guess who?

Gisele Bündchen is back on the modeling block in a big way.

The Brazilian supermodel graces the most recent cover of Vogue Italia looking a little ... different.

The newly divorced Miami resident, 42, in dramatic white face paint, red pout and razor thin eyebrows, wears a not entirely flattering scarlet Valentino gown. The famed fashionista’s sun-kissed tresses are covered with a red wig to match the dramatic getup.

The caption on the European magazine’s Instagram explains that the fact that the mother of two is doing a 180 on how you usually see her was intentional.

“Our cover story is a colorful journey following the major transformation of a woman who, usually portrayed as natural, is almost unrecognizable here.”

Many commenters underneath the snap seemed disappointed that this superstar didn’t resemble the woman who strutted the Victoria’s Secret catwalks some moons ago.

“This cover is terrifying,” complained one.

“How can you guys make Gisele look that bad??”

“Noooo, this is horrible.”

Yet others hailed the styling as “bold” and “gorgeous.”

Gisele shut down some of the trolls by answering them back: “It was fun!”

OK, well at least she wore clothing. Her ex, Tom Brady, caught some heat when he posed in his underwear for his Brady Brand to make good on a bet.

The two finalized their quickie divorce on Oct. 28 in Glades County, Florida. They are currently co-parenting like champs all over South Florida.
