Alessandra Ambrosio Bio
Biography: Alessandra Ambrosio - birth name: Alessandra Corine Ambrósio, height: 5 ft 10 (178 cm), Zodiac Sign: Aries; Ambrosio is a Brazilian supermodel best known for her work with Victoria’s Secret and was chosen as their first spokesmodel for Victoria’s Secret PINK line.
Ambrosio was born in a small town of Erechim, Brazil on April 11, 1981 to petrol station-owner parents. She is of Italian and Polish descent. She was just eight years old when she decided she 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. However, she felt insecure about her appearance, particularly of her large, obvious ears. So at 11, she had cosmetic surgery done to get her ears pinned back. Unfortunately, as celebrity news reported, she had complications from the surgery for the two years following.
When Ambrosio was 12 years old, she enrolled in modeling classes then, began modeling for Dilson Stein at age 15. Winning Brazil’s Elite Model Look started her modeling career. Her first big modeling job was the cover of the Brazilian Elle magazine. Elite passed along some of her Polaroids to Guess which led her to do the Millennium GUESS? campaign along with her friend and fellow Brazilian supermodel Ana Beatriz Barros.
Ambrosio loves surfing, seeing bands, drinking caipirinha and eating chocolates, which she admits to indulging in every day. Guess some people just have super genes!
