Gisele Bündchen spotted on crutches in Miami before Victoria's Secret show

A 46-year-old supermodel navigated the streets of Miami Beach with significant mobility aids. Gisele Bündchen was captured leaving the Delano Hotel on Friday, October 16, relying on crutches to move toward a waiting vehicle while wearing a protective medical boot on her right foot.

The sighting details

Visual evidence obtained by TMZ shows Bündchen dressed casually for the outing in denim shorts, a black tank top, and sunglasses. The footage indicates she was carefully avoiding placing weight on her injured right leg as she maneuvered with the assistance of the crutches.

TMZ released the images on Saturday, October 17, noting that they had contacted the model’s representative for further clarification. Page Six also reported on the incident, highlighting that neither the specific cause nor the severity of the apparent injury has been publicly disclosed. As of now, Bündchen has not issued any statement regarding the condition of her foot.

Impact on fashion week plans

This development occurs just hours before the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is scheduled to take place tonight, Sunday, October 18, in Los Angeles. Although Bündchen remains one of the most iconic figures associated with the brand’s runway history, she does not appear on the confirmed list of models for this evening’s event.

There is currently no indication that her presence was planned for the show or that the injury will affect the production. Other prominent names, including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, and Gigi Hadid, are expected to walk the runway. Recent rankings have placed Bündchen at the top of the list for richest Victoria’s Secret Angels, with an estimated net worth of $400 million.

Prior to this sighting, Bündchen had shared updates about her life in September, discussing her routine as a mother again and posting videos of herself exercising with her young son during a summer family vacation.
