Alessandra Ambrosio

Alessandra AmbrosioAlessandra Ambrosio (born April 11, 1981), is a Brazilian supermodel. She was described as “The future of the modeling world”, by retired supermodel Tyra Banks. Her last name is spelled Ambrósio, but the diacritic mark is omitted in her modeling work. She’s the elder of two children.

Ambrosio is a prominent model for Guess?, Victoria’s Secret and the UK company Next.

Alessandra Ambrosio is one of several Brazilian models that became known in the late 1990s along with Gisele Bündchen, Adriana Lima and Ana Beatriz Barros. Born in Erexim, a small town in southern Brazil, Ambrosio enrolled in a modeling class as a teen. She subsequently entered the Elite modeling agency’s 1996 “Look of the Year” modeling competition. Though she did not win, one year later she was offered an Elite modeling contract.

Her first big modeling job was the cover of the Brazilian Elle magazine, and then Ambrosio followed with other “editorial” work. It was not long after that the Guess? company signed her for their fall 2000 campaign. Ambrosio’s print career began as a Guess? model and continued with Revlon and Victoria’s Secret. She modeled on the Victoria’s Secret runway for the first time in 2000, and she continued to be a participant in the subsequent shows. In 2004 Ambrosio was selected as the first spokesmodel for Victoria’s Secret PINK line. Alessandra Ambrosio is currently part of Elite plus in NYC. Alessandra is collaborating with Giorgio Armani once again, after a 3 Seasons break.

  16. Alessandra, you are definitely the most attractive of the Victoria’s Secret models. You have a perfect figure and such a beautiful face. Your my favorite!

    Mark

  17. ugh.. they all look the same to me. i dont think any of them are extraordinarily beautiful

  18. Over the years, I have heard so many nice and not so nice things about my 3rd cousin…she is beautiful and smart, and has made a great life for herself and for her daughter. All models are not stupid just like all people are ignorant and bitter. So those of u that like Ale great, check her out on the Dec 1st when the VS fashion show airs…and to the haters; well how about putting that negative energy on the bottom of shoe, and help find a way to end hunger and fix the homeless problem…hate on that.

    Much love cousin
    Duchess
