"I don't like parties. I prefer something more intimate, just for the closest people"
About this Quote
Bundchen’s dismissal of parties lands less like shyness and more like brand management disguised as personal taste. In a celebrity economy where being “seen” is currency, saying you don’t like parties is a small act of refusal that reads as virtue: I’m not chasing the spotlight; I’m choosing meaning. It’s a neat inversion for someone whose career was built on visibility. The line quietly insists that fame can be navigated without looking hungry for it.
“Intimate” does heavy lifting here. It’s not just a preference for smaller gatherings; it’s a claim about boundaries. For public figures, the crowd isn’t merely loud, it’s porous: strangers, cameras, acquaintances who become headlines. Intimacy becomes a privacy strategy, a way to cordon off a part of life that doesn’t need to be optimized for consumption. The phrase “closest people” signals a curated inner circle, and that curation is the point. It implies trust, loyalty, and control in a world that profits off oversharing.
Culturally, this fits the post-2010s shift from maximalist nightlife to wellness-coded restraint: fewer tequila pyramids, more “protecting my peace.” Coming from a supermodel, it also sidesteps the stereotype of glamorous excess. The subtext is almost corrective: don’t confuse my image with my habits. She’s selling an aspirational alternative to celebrity chaos - not isolation, but selectivity. The appeal is that it turns exclusivity into emotional maturity, making the private room feel more powerful than the velvet rope outside.
