Gemma Ward revealed some unexpected advice she once received from Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen.
Of all the words of wisdom the Australian model, 35, received from the industry veteran, 43, the most surprising was: ‘Never pay for anything.’
Bündchen has famously been romantically involved with wealthy superstars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Kelly Slater and Tom Brady.
Speaking with RUSSH at the Calvin Klein Melbourne Central story on October 12, the actor revealed it wasn’t the only advice the world’s highest paid model gave her.
Gemma said the blonde beauty also spoke with her about how to style an ‘off-duty model’ look.

‘I guess there are people who play with their own personal style and then there’s the signature model off-duty look, like jeans and a t-shirt,’ Gemma said.
‘Gisele would tell me, “Only wear a T-shirt and jeans, and never pay for anything.” But I’ve always loved to experiment with style.’
Gisele recently endured a turbulent split in 2022 from American footballer Tom Brady with whom she shares two children Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10.
She stepped away from her modelling career to raise their children with the NFL star but has since made a huge return to her supermodel roots after their split.

Meanwhile, Gemma is considered one of Australia’s most successful models and made her Australian Fashion Week debut at just age 15 in 2003.
After a short break from modelling, she returned to the industry in 2018.
She previously told Vogue about her return: ‘I came back to modelling because I felt in a place where I was accepting of myself and ready to continue my journey and accept opportunities placed in my way.’
