Gisele Bundchen wears nothing but a dripping wet dress

The world’s highest paid supermodel Gisele Bundchen is famous for being sizzling hot and now not even a splash of cold water can cool her temperature.

The 26-year-old Brazilian has unveiled a revealing new ad campaign that shows her in a see-through liquid dress.

While all eyes are on her knock-out body, the former Victoria’s Secret model actually stripped down to promote her own line of eco-friendly sandals called Ipanema Gisele Bundchen.

The shoe line, which she had a hand in designing, are the latest venture in her wildly successful career.

Isabeli Fontana

Isabeli Bergossi Fontana was born in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. In 1996 she made it to the finals of the Elite Model Look Contest when she was just 13. The following year she moved from Brazil to Milan, Italy, to start her modelling career. In 1999, at the age of 16, she appeared in the Victoria’s Secret lingerie catalogue. This created a huge controversy as Victoria’s Secret had earlier stated that its policy was not to sign models younger than 21 years old. However, the publicity generated by this proved beneficial to Fontana and she quickly rose to fame. Soon after the Victoria’s Secret shoot, she was signed by Versace, Ralph Lauren and Valentino. She has modelled for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Marie Claire, ELLE and Vogue.

She was married to model Álvaro Jacomossi but they divorced in 2004. Their son, Zion, was born in 2003. Fontana married actor and model Henri Castelli on December 10, 2005 and their son, Lucas, was born on October 23, 2006 in São Paulo. Fontana and Castelli are separated now and are in the process of divorcing.

Oliveira has two brothers: Givago (economist) and Pablo (lawyer) and she is currently living with her mother in New York. Shortly after winning 2nd place at the Elite Model Look International Final in 1999, Raica was christened “The sensation” at the fall fashion shows in Paris and Milan. She was one of the most talked about models of the season alongside fellow Elite stars Adriana Lima, Maggie Rizer, Oluchi and Karen Elson. She was featured in a Christian Dior campaign that appeared in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Mademoiselle, and other fashion magazines. She was also featured in a Dolce & Gabbana parfums campaign. In 2006 Oliveira was unveiled as a spokesmodel for the cosmetics company Lancome[1] and fashion laicence Punto Blanco. Oliveira replaced top model Naomi Campbell at Selmark Underwear Collection 2006. She worked for Victoria’s Secret only once. Oliveira has joined the ranks of supermodels charging over US$ 20-thousand euros (16.6-thousand) to step out for TNG. In February 2007 she appeared in Sports Illustrated. She is good friends with fellow Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima and Brazilian top model Ana Beatriz Barros. She has dated Brazilian football player, Ronaldo. In March 2007 Oliveira joined IMG Paris and she also appeared in Ann Taylor advertisements. She is the new face of Avon. Oliveira plans to study philosophy at a university when she retires.

Gisele Bundchen: the only model that Claudia Schiffer currently acknowledges is a superstar

Miss Schiffer believes the Brazilian Gisele Bundchen is one of the few women to have supermodel status today.

“Her face is well known, her name is recognised - but no other girl occurs to me that people in the street would recognise,” she said.

Claudia, who lives in the UK, has previously hit out at the trend towards super-thin models.

She told the magazine she was glad that their day in the spotlight seems to be receding towards a trend of “glamour and opulence.”

She added. “I think and hope that there is a change in the scene, where glamour returns after heroin-chic and discusions about Anorexia.

“Current photo stories in magazines suggest it is going in this direction. Certainly the things I have done recently have been unusually glamorous and beautiful.

“Perhaps this new development can cause a revival of the supermodel as we embodied the image of beauty in the 90’s.”

She is happy to be working again with Karl Lagerfeld, the genius of Chanel, on a new ad campaign for champagne.

Gisele Bundchen rakes in $33 million a year, the new Forbes list of the top 15 richest supermodels says.

That makes the Brazilian-born West Villager better paid than New York’s most famous slugger, Alex Rodriguez (at least for now), who is signed to a 10-year, $250 million contract.

All 15 of the Forbes foxes rake in $1.5 million or more a year - which means each earns more than the average Mets player.

Kate Moss, 33, who comes in second to Bundchen, pulls in $9 million from her various contracts. Victoria’s Secret models Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio come next, earning between $6 million and $8 million annually.

Though supermodels earn more than ever, they don’t have the name recognition of the greats a decade ago, like Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell and Elle Macpherson. And, most, with the exception of Hilary Rhoda, 20, and Carolyn Murphy, 31, are from outside the U.S.

Models make money by scoring big ad campaigns and contracts. While runway shows may gain them recognition, they don’t pay as well ($250 an hour) and only happen a few times a year.

Bundchen is so successful because she stars in nearly 20 campaigns a year and licenses her name out to a Brazilian shoe company. She also is the lead model for cash cow Victoria’s Secret, which pays her $5 million a year to walk in their shows and pose in their catalogues.

Russian-born Natalia Vodianova, who made her name with Calvin Klein, earns $4.5 million. Czech Victoria’s Secret model Karolina Kurkova and Canadian Daria Werbowy - the bug-eyed face of Lancome - each make about $3.5 million. They are followed by the list’s youngest model, 19-year-old Gemma Ward, who pulls in $3 million.

The top 10 richest supermodels from the list are:

Gisele Bundchen, 26: $33M
Kate Moss, 33: $9M
Heidi Klum, 34: $8M
Adriana Lima, 26: $6M
Alessandra Ambrosio, 26: $6M
Carolyn Murphy, 31: $5M
Natalia Vodianova, 25: $4.5M
Karolina Kurkova, 23: $3.5M
Daria Werbowy, 22: $3.5M
Gemma Ward, 19: $3M
