‘Now that’s what I call hot!’ Gisele strikes a steamy pose in Miami

One word: Steamy!

Gisele Bundchen doesn’t always pose for professional photographers, but when she does, look out.

The understandably paparazzi-shy supermodel, who ruled the runways in the early to mid-2000s, hasn’t been in the public eye much after having a baby boy with Joaquim Valente in February.

Now, we can see it’s been worth the wait.

On Wednesday, the Brazilian bombshell showed off her latest gig: collaborating with Italian fashion house Elisabetta Franchi.

Because Bundchen is wearing pieces from high-end label’s fall-winter collection, the outfits, although striking, aren’t exactly made for South Florida in the summertime.

In one shot, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel sits seductively in front of a pool, thigh-high boots on full display. In another pic, the 45 year old dons arm-length gloves on a tennis court. In yet another, she’s out on a boat in a leather jacket (and not much else).

In the caption, Bundchen acknowledges how inappropriate the heavy clothing is, joking, “Now that’s what I call hot!”

Elisabetta Franchi says in its own post that the collection is meant for “a woman who is powerful, transformative, and true to herself.”

The designer’s page features a video of their gorgeous spokeswoman fully clothed submerging her head under water.

Phew, at least we know Gisele got to cool off.
