About Alessandra Ambrosio
Alessandra Corine Ambrósio was born on April 11, 1981, in Erechim, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, to Luiz Ambrósio, a gas station owner, and Lucilda Ambrósio, a homemaker. Raised in a middle-class family with a younger sister, Aline, she grew up in a small town of Italian and Polish descent. Inspired by fashion magazines, she enrolled in modeling classes at 12 and was scouted by Dilson Stein’s modeling school. At 15, she won Brazil’s Elite Model Look contest in 1996, signing with Elite Model Management and moving to São Paulo, then New York, to pursue modeling. Ambrósio is of Italian, Polish, and Portuguese descent and has lived in the U.S. for most of her life. She often credits her small-town roots for her warm, approachable persona. She is primarily known as Alessandra Ambrosio, with no widely used aliases. In the 2000s, she was dubbed “The Brazilian Bombshell” by media for her sultry beauty and Victoria’s Secret prominence.
Ambrósio rose to fame in the early 2000s as part of "The Brazilian Bombshell” era of models from 2000-2010 that also featured Adriana Lima, Fernanda Tavares, Ana Beatriz Barros, Isabeli Fontana, Izabel Goulart, Caroline Trentini, Raquel Zimmermann, Michelle Alves, Gisele Bündchen, Caroline Ribeiro, Lais Ribeiro, Raica Oliveira, Flavia de Oliveira and Emanuela de Paula. Alessandra’s modeling career skyrocketed, establishing her as one of Brazil’s most iconic supermodels. Signed with agencies like The Society Management (New York), Elite Model Management (Paris, Milan), and Way Model Management (São Paulo), she walked for designers such as Chanel, Prada, Versace, Givenchy, and Oscar de la Renta. As a Victoria’s Secret Angel from 2004 to 2017, she walked in 17 fashion shows, notably wearing the $2.5 million Dream Angels Fantasy Bra in 2012 and 2014. Her editorial work includes covers for Vogue (Brazil, USA, UK, Italy), Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, and GQ, with campaigns for Armani Exchange, Ralph Lauren, Moschino, and her own swimwear line, Ále by Alessandra. Ranked fifth on Forbes’ highest-paid models list in 2012 with $6.6 million, she appeared in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues (2001–2006) and the 2007 Pirelli Calendar.
Alessandra maintains a robust social media presence, with over 11 million Instagram followers (@alessandraambrosio), sharing modeling shoots, fitness routines, and family moments. Her mainstream career includes acting roles in films like Casino Royale (2006) as a tennis girl, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016), and Daddy’s Home (2015), plus TV appearances on Entourage (2010), Gossip Girl (2008), and as a guest judge on Project Runway and Germany’s Next Topmodel. She hosted The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: Behind the Scenes and appeared on Brazilian TV’s Domingão do Faustão. Her lifestyle brand, Ále by Alessandra, and high-profile events like the Met Gala (2011–2018) have cemented her mainstream celebrity status.
At 5’9½” (177 cm) with measurements of 34-25-34 inches, Alessandra Ambrosio possesses a lithe, toned physique, long chestnut hair, and warm brown eyes that exude approachability and allure. Her high cheekbones, radiant olive skin, and megawatt smile create a versatile beauty that shines in both high fashion and commercial work, from Prada’s runways to Victoria’s Secret’s lingerie. Her sex appeal, defined by her confident stride and natural charisma, earned her the title “Brazil’s ultimate bombshell.” Photographers like Annie Leibovitz and peers like Adriana Lima have praised her “effortless glamour,” with Vogue calling her “the face of modern sensuality” for her ability to captivate across genres.
Alessandra has faced minimal controversies, though her thin frame early in her career sparked minor body image debates, which she addressed by emphasizing her healthy lifestyle, saying, “I work out to feel good, not to fit a mold.” Her sexuality is reported as straight, and she was engaged to businessman Jamie Mazur from 2008 to 2018, with whom she has two children, Anja (born 2008) and Noah (born 2012). Since 2018, she has been in a relationship with model Nicolo Oddi. Her net worth is estimated at $80 million, driven by modeling, her swimwear line, and endorsements. Critics occasionally note her limited acting range, but her philanthropy, including work with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, has earned widespread respect.
At 44 in 2025, Alessandra Ambrosio’s legacy as a Victoria’s Secret legend and Brazilian fashion icon endures, inspiring models with her longevity and entrepreneurial spirit. On platforms like models.com, fans call her a “global superstar,” with one commenter noting, “Ale’s smile and energy are unmatched.” Her 2017 quote, “Beauty is about embracing who you are,” reflects her authentic approach. Currently, she splits time between Los Angeles and Brazil, focusing on her Ále by Alessandra brand, recent 2024 Vogue Brazil editorials, and a 2025 campaign for Schutz. Her advocacy for wellness and sustainable fashion, alongside selective modeling, solidifies her as a beloved figure in the industry.
