Gisele Bundchen’s appearance at the 2016 Olympic Opening Ceremony was a lot less eventful than many expected.

Reports earlier in the week indicated that Bundchen would get mugged as part of the Ceremony. According to AFP, Brazilian newspaper O Dia wrote that after a kid would approach Bundchen, he would be seized by police, “And, like in a film with a happy ending, Gisele embraces the assailant and everyone celebrates,” O Dia wrote. “This seems like a strange homage to Rio.”

However, the Brazilian supermodel’s sole role was to walk across the floor of the stadium in a silver dress… And walk some more… And some more. There was no mugging.

Bundchen walked to the classic Brazilian hit song “The Girl from Ipanema.”

Bundchen’s walk then led into a dance performance on colorful elevated blocks. Bundchen presumably exited while the camera was on the dancers.

Here are more pictures of Bundchen’s walk with a spotlight following her:
