Alessandra Ambrosio






Alessandra Ambrosio was born in Erechim, Brazil on April 11, 1981. Her parents, who are of Italian and Polish descent, own a petrol station. Alessandra Ambrosio was just eight years old when Alessandra Ambrosio decided that 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.

Alessandra Ambrosio enrolled at a modelling class at the age of 12 and at the age of 14 Alessandra Ambrosio was one of 20 finalists for an elite modelling competition in Brazil. Alessandra Ambrosio was always insecure about her large ears and at eleven had cosmetic surgery to get her ears pinned back, though two years later she suffered complications. In 2006 she appeared on The Tyra Banks Show, and said that the surgery was a bad experience and has discouraged her from ever getting plastic surgery again.

Alessandra Ambrosio has a sister named Aline Ambrosio, a New York City-based lawyer.
