Alessandra Ambrosio (born
April 11,
1981) is a
Brazilian model. Her last name is spelled in
Portuguese as
Ambrósio, but she omits the
diacritic mark in her modeling work. She is one of the faces of
Guess? and
Victoria's Secret.
Early in her teenage-years, she enrolled in a modeling class and subsequently was entered in the
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.
