Alessandra Ambrosio
Alessandra Corine Ambrósio (born April 11, 1981) is a Brazilian model. Her last name is spelled Ambrósio, but the diacritic mark is omitted in her modeling work.
Ambrósio, described by Tyra Banks as "The future of the modeling world" , is best known for her work with Victoria's Secret and was chosen as their first spokesmodel for Victoria's Secret PINK line. Ambrósio is currently one of Victoria's Secret Angels and the former face for the UK company Next.

Alessandra Ambrosio SexinessIf Gisele Bundchen is the only Brazilian supermodel's name you know, it's high time you checked out Alessandra Ambrosio. She's been described as "the future of modeling" by Ms. Tyra Banks herself. Although we don't always agree with Tyra's choices when our female companions force us to sit through episodes of America's Next Top Model, this time we thinks she's right. This long-legged goddess has received plenty of attention over the past two years after being ranked No. 36 and then No. 6 on AskMen.com's list of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women.
We love that Alessandra Ambrosia isn't just rail thin; she actually works for her body. “I work out with my Brazilian trainer, Leandro,” she explains. “He invented the Brazilian Butt Lift which is a mix of samba, capoeira and aerobics.” Here's to hoping the Brazilian Butt Lift makes its way to gyms across America very soon.
Alessandra Ambrosio Early lifeAlessandra Ambrosio was born in Erechim, Brazil on April 11, 1981. Her parents, who are of Italian and Polish descent, own a petrol station. Ambrósio was just eight years old when she decided that she wanted to be a model, after seeing a picture of top covergirl Karen Mulder in a magazine: "I wanted to be like her", she recalls. She enrolled at a modelling class at the age of 12 and at the age of 14 she was one of 20 finalists for an elite modelling competition in Brazil. Ambrosio was always insecure about her large ears and at eleven had cosmetic surgery to get her ears pinned back, though two years later she suffered complications. In 2006 she appeared on The Tyra Banks Show, and said that the surgery was a bad experience and has discouraged her from ever getting plastic surgery again.
Alessandra Ambrosio Personal life
Alessandra Ambrosio loves surfing, seeing bands, drinking caipirinha and eating chocolates, which she admits to indulging in every day.[citation needed] She is very conscious of her figure and works out with her Brazilian trainer doing the Brazilian Butt Lift, which is a mix of samba, capoeira and aerobics.
When Alessandra Ambrosio first came to New York, Gisele Bündchen lent her apartment for two weeks and Adriana Lima helped her translate English.
She described her typical week as jetsetting from one country to another for photo shoots and in between she has some phone interviews. She still visits her family in Brazil regularly and calls Erechim, Brazil her favorite place in the world and having traveled the world has not yet convinced her otherwise.
Alessandra Ambrosio's best friend is fellow Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros.
On August 24, 2008, Alessandra Ambrosio and her fiancé, California businessman Jamie Mazur, had a child, daughter Anja Louise Ambrosio Mazur, in Florianopolis, Brazil.
