Gisele Bündchen is officially turning in her catwalk heels. 

After 20 (!) years as a runway model, the 34-year-old star will kiss the catwalk goodbye at São Paulo Fashion Week in April, where she will strut her stuff in the Colcci show—a Brazilian fashion company for which she has appeared in multiple campaigns and has a longstanding relationship with the brand. 

News of Gisele's runway retirement was first reported by Moda Estadão. 

The 34-year-old star, who has certainly cemented her place as an iconic supermodel, said it was her dream to finish walking the runway in Brazil, her native country.

Bündchen's final show will be next month in São Paulo, where she will model fashions from Colcci's summer 2016 collection. 

It's important to note that the Brazilian beauty is not giving up her modeling career—she still plans to participate in campaigns and fashion spreads, although she will no longer grace the runway. 

Tom Brady's missus, who was world's highest-paid models from 2013-2014—a title which she's held for a whopping eight years in a row—has decreased her runway presence in recent years, although she appeared in Chanel's spring 2015 fashion show back in September

In November, Bündchen also walked in the Colcci show as part of São Paulo Fashion Week Winter 2015, and clearly, the brand is a favorite of the beauty's, as she posed for one of the company's campaigns back in 2010, just six-and-a-half weeks after she gave birth to her first child, son Benjamin
