Carnival 2023: Gabriela Versiani comments on debut at Sapucaí

Success on social networks, Gabriela Versiani has more than six million followers, with whom she shares content about her health, body and beauty care. In addition, she is an entrepreneur and has a beachwear brand, Versiani Swim.

At Carnival this year, the digital influencer will be the muse of Grande Rio, the samba school that parades on the 19th of this month, in Sapucaí. To rock the sambodrome, she had to intensify her healthy habits, which, according to Versiani, she has been trying to do for a long time.

“The fact that I was invited to be a muse was a ‘push’, because I really had to prioritize this. Not only for having a beautiful body on the avenue, but for health. Before I was addicted to chocolate, now I try to replace it with something fit. I want to get my body used to a healthy diet for the body, aesthetics, for working with image, for having my bikini brand, but mainly for my health”, she details in an interview with Good shape.

She classifies her lifestyle as “free and light”. “I have my priorities, which I always fit into my day-to-day life – training, therapy every week, English, which I’m getting back to little by little, the hair care routine“, she quotes.

DEBUT IN SAPUCAÍ

Despite being enchanted by dance, Gabi confesses that she never thought she had a knack for this modality. “I never dared to dance or do anything in that sense”, she says.

For this reason, she was faced with a great challenge when she was invited to parade through Grande Rio, current champion of Rio’s carnival. However, with a lot of dedication and focus, she is managing to deal with the difficulties.

“When I received the invitation, I was a little scared by the fact that I didn’t know how to dance, let alone sambar. But I started samba classes and I am very proud to see my evolution and dedication, ”she adds.

Her expectations are the best for the show, and she shows that she is committed to doing her best and having a lot of fun.

“I feel very honored and very flattered by the invitation. I am very grateful that Grande Rio trusted me. It’s a very big responsibility and one that I’m taking very seriously, because I know it’s a great visibility and that it’s a very big step in my career. Without a doubt, it is one of my biggest projects”.

PREPARATIONS

In order to handle the parade at Sapucaí, the digital influencer is having an intense routine of preparations and had to adapt to be able to handle everything.

“I fight twice a week, I do yoga once, because mental health is important. I take a samba class three or four times a week. Bodybuilding three times”, he says.

Regarding food, she, who is 24 years old, says that she does not follow a strict diet, but that she tries to prioritize healthy habits. So, in this pre-Carnival phase, she is reinforcing that even more. “I’m avoiding sweets, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, for example. I’m more disciplined, but without much exaggeration”, concludes Gabriela Versiani.
