BIOGRAPHY Alessandra Ambrosio, born April 11, 1981, is a Brazilian supermodel. Her last name is spelled Ambrósio, but the diacritic mark is omitted in her modeling work. 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 Ambrosio's best friend Ana Beatriz Barros. Born in Erechim, 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 Alessandra 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. View GALLERY:
