Bruna was pictured soaking in the fun at the Rio Carnival 2018 donning a barely-there jeweled Samba ensemble that just-about covered her modesty. 

AQUELES Infante menina luz em casa, pureza divina de criança Observava o céu e a si mesma, sem muitas questões ‘ser’ não era verbo conjugado, qual somente crianças entendem bem Olhava e dizia tanto porque o silêncio não lhe era problema mas sim sua força maior Olhava e dizia para si sim, e depois distribuia amor àqueles: os outros que eram ela O tempo é mulher brincalhona qual um leoa jovem descortinando a selva com suas ancas fortes e suntuosas… O tempo é mulher destemida Cheia de sou, és, somos… Quem somos nós, mulher? Continuo brilho do erê qual raio inebriante seguido de trovoadas e chuva dos olhos dela, e de sua boca uma flor se abre: suntuoso e radiante copo de leite vermelho De Jesuita Barbosa ?
