Hot mama in the city.

Gisele Bundchen left sunny Miami to grace the 2023 Met Gala in NYC with her presence Monday night, and her look was positively angelic.

The supermodel strutted the red carpet outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the fancy schmancy fundraiser, whose theme this time around was “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” Attendees were told to honor the iconic German born designer who died in 2019 at the age of 85.

This marked the first time Bundchen came solita to this often campy celebfest (e.g., Jared Leto came as Lagerfeld’s pet cat Choupette) that raises money for the Met’s Costume Institute.

The Brazilian beauty’s last outing to the fashion world’s equivalent to the Oscars was in 2019, with then hubs Tom Brady as her date. The exes, whose divorce was finalized in Florida last fall, apparently enjoyed gussying up for this fancy party, with their first appearance starting back in 2008.

Bundchen had no man candy on her arm this year, but did more than fine on her own.

The style maven wore her locks down, with “light and airy waves,” said her stylist David Von Cannon, who used Sol de Janeiro’s Glossy Nourishing Hair Oil from her native Brazil.

As for her outfit, Bundchen absolutely slayed in a vintage Chanel Couture gown, which featured a feathery cape that looked like the wings she used to don on the Victoria’s Secret catwalk back in the day.

Does the gorgeous frock look familiar? Style watchers will already know Bundchen wore this gorgeous frock in 2007 for a Harper’s Bazaar South Korea shoot.

The mother of two looked like she was having a blast rocking this throwback gem again.

On Vogue’s Instagram, you can see a video of Gisele with a huge smile on her face, twirling around for photographers, showing off every angle and inch of her fabulousness.

“No one is having more fun,” said the magazine’s caption.

Commenters couldn’t help notice, too.

“She said, ‘Brady who?’”

“Single and thriving, I’d say.”

“This is what a free woman looks like,” wrote another fan. “Glowing.”

On the Met Gala’s Insta, others were duly impressed.

“Legend.”

“Goddess.”

“Best one so far.”

Perhaps one follower summed up this philanthropic icon best:

“The ‘90s queen, serving as always.”
