Here is why Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady were able to divorce quickly
Fox News legal analyst Mercedes Colwin provides an analysis on Brady, Bundchen's private settlement as the power couple's 13-year marriage comes to an end.
Gisele Bündchen returned to the red carpet for the first time since divorcing ex-husband Tom Brady earlier this year, and she certainly made a statement in what has become better known as the revenge dress.
Bündchen, 42, looked simply stunning wearing a sparkling gold Reinaldo Lourenço gown for her first solo appearance post split from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback. The couple dated for 16 years and were married for 13 before announcing the decision to end their marriage in October.
Her dazzling debut at Vivara's 60th anniversary in São Paulo, Brazil, last week, followed in a long tradition of prominent power players who know there is nothing better than getting back at an ex by looking and feeling your best.

Brady originally announced he was retiring from the NFL after 22 seasons on Feb. 1. However, just 40 days later, the Super Bowl-winning football player said he was not retiring after all, much to her dismay.
"Obviously, I have my concerns — this is a very violent sport, and I have my children, and I would like him to be more present," the Brazilian supermodel said in the October edition of Elle magazine.
"I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again. But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for [them]. He needs to follow his joy, too."
