Gisele and her twin sister, Patricia, rarely make red carpet appearances together, but the pair stepped out for the Luz Alliance Gala benefiting the Brazil Foundation—which Gisele hosted.

Gisele chatted about attending the event with her sister to People, saying, “This was my first gala and couldn’t have done it without my sister Pati, who worked diligently with the Brazil Foundation to organize this special evening. It was very special to have her here tonight. She worked so hard to organize this event as she does every day.”

“We’re very close; as you know, we’re twins!” Gisele added of Patricia (who is also her business manager in Brazil). “I know she’s got my back like I got hers. We trust each other and we always want the best for one another and that is priceless. My family is everything to me and my sisters are my best friends even if sometimes we disagree. Family is what gives us our foundation, they are our greatest teachers, and they help us become who we are.”

Gisele has always been close with her family, even writing about the experience of growing up together in her memoir, Lessons. At the event this week, the supermodel also noted that “any time we can spend time with family is just great—especially to see the beautiful bond the kids have with their cousins as they are all growing up is priceless.”

FYI, Gisele and Patricia have four more sisters, Graziela, Gabriela, Raquel, and Rafaela!
