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

She is best known for her work with Victoria’s Secret and was chosen as their first spokesmodel for Victoria’s Secret PINK line. She is currently one of Victoria’s Secret Angels and the face for the UK company Next and Armani A|X.

Aside from modeling work, she represents as the National Ambassador for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Ambrosio was also selected by AskMen.com as Number 6 out of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women for 2007.

Ambrosio was born in a small town of Erechim, Brazil on April 11, 1981 to petrol station-owner parents. She is of Italian and Polish descent. She was just eight years old when she decided 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. However, she felt insecure about her appearance, particularly of her large, obvious ears. So at 11, she had cosmetic surgery done to get her ears pinned back. Unfortunately, she had complications from the surgery for the two years following. On 2006 The Tyra Banks Show, she admitted that the surgery had been a bad experience for her and that she is discouraged from having plastic surgery again.

Ambrosio loves surfing, seeing bands, caipirinha and chocolates, which she admits eating every day. She is very conscious of her figure and works out with her Brazilian trainer twice a month doing the Brazilian Butt Lift, which is a mix of samba,capoeira and aerobics.

When Ambrosio first came to New York, Gisele Bündchen lent her 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. These days, she shares a New York City apartment with her lawyer sister Aline.

Egotastic says, “What do you get when you cross a Victoria’s Secret Lingerie / Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Supermodel with a Playboy Bunny? Every guy’s biggest fantasy, and Alessandra Ambrosio.”
