Gisele Bündchen walked her final runway show ever this week; can you believe it? The Brazilian stunner, who has been in the modeling business for over 20 years, is planning to retire after hitting the catwalk for Colcci during São Paulo Fashion Week.

From her stints walking for high-fashion brands like Chanel, Balenciaga, and Givenchy to her humble beginnings as a Victoria's Secret Angel, there's no arguing that designers, stylists, and even fellow models are lucky to have been graced with Gisele's presence on the runway. To celebrate the end of an era, we've rounded up Gisele's most memorable fashion show photos, from backstage and beyond. Scroll through to see them all now.
