Alessandra Ambrosio (born April 11, 1981) is a Brazil|Brazilian model. Her last name is spelled in Portuguese language|Portuguese as Ambr??sio, but she omits the diacritic mark in her modeling work. She is one of the faces of Guess? and Victoria's Secret.

Alessandra Ambrosio was part of the deluge of Brazilian models that emerged after Gisele B??ndchen opened the floodgates. One of the star models of that group, of which fellow Victoria's Secret/Guess? Model (and best friend) Ana Beatriz Barros is a member, the 5'10", light brown-haired Ambrosio accumulated quite a career in the late 1990's into the next century. Ambrosio was born in Erechim, Brazil, a small town in the south. As an early teen, she enrolled in a modeling class and subsequently was entered in the Elite Model Management|Elite modeling agency's 1996 Look of the Year competition. Though she did not win, she was offered an Elite contract one year after.
Alessandra??s boyfriend is Marcelo Boldrini, also a Brazilian model, born in Porto Alegre (city about 500 km from Erechim).

Her first modeling job was the cover of the Brazilian Marie Claire, and Ambrosio followed with other editorial work, but it was not long after that the Marcianos at Guess signed Ambrosio for their fall Millennium campaign in 2000. Her lucrative print career began with being a Guess? Girl and continued with deals with Revlon and Victoria's Secret. Ambrosio walked the VS runway for the first time in 2001 and continued to be a fixture in subsequent shows. Ambrosio was also picked to be the spokesmodel for the 2004 Pink line by Victoria's Secret.
