Alessandra Ambrósio Pictures
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.

Aside from modeling work, Ambrósio represents as the National Ambassador for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Ambrosio was also selected by AskMen.com as Number 2 out of the "Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2008".

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