Gisele Bundchen may or may not have shaved her head

Genetically blessed human and possessor of excellent hair, Gisele Bundchen has a shaved head in a new black-and-white campaign for Balenciaga.

But guys? We don’t want to send you spiralling down the gamut of emotions we just experienced, so we’ll get straight to it. The buzz cut? It was Photoshopped.

Balenciaga artistic director Alexander Wang was giving nothing away when told WWD his artistic vision for Gisele was “strong” and “mysterious” and “powerful”.

But after some serious sleuthing, ok, we just Googled it, it appears that Bundchen’s buzz cut was thanks to some digital trickery rather a speed date with the clippers.

Hours after the Balenciaga campaign image was released, Bundchen uploaded a photo of her unmistakable glorious hair and daughter Vivian watching the World Cup.

To say we’re disappointed is an understatement. But since the Brazilian supermodel is also contracted to Pantene as the face (hair?) of the brand, it’s understandable that they would have a slight problem with her sporting a GI Jane buzz cut.

Can you imagine? That would be the most epic hair contract battle in history.
