Alessandra Ambrosio has long been recognized as one of the world’s top-earning models, and it’s easy to see why. With a captivating blend of beauty, elegance, and sharp business instincts, Alessandra Ambrosio carved out a remarkable career in the fashion industry. Born Alessandra Corinne Ambrosio on April 11, 1981, in Erechim, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, she discovered her passion for modeling at a young age. At just 12 years old, she enrolled in modeling classes—shortly after having cosmetic surgery to pin back her ears, which she felt were too prominent.
By the time she was 15, Alessandra Ambrosio had already taken a major step forward by competing in the prestigious Elite Model Look contest, a platform that previously helped launch superstars like Cindy Crawford and Gisele Bündchen. Her breakthrough came quickly when she landed her first magazine cover with Brazilian ELLE. From there, her star continued to rise as she appeared in U.S. and international editions of top publications such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and GQ.
Alessandra Ambrosio soon became a favorite among high-end designers, walking the runways for luxury names like Christian Dior and Oscar de la Renta, while also becoming a familiar face in campaigns for popular brands such as GUESS. A turning point in her career came in 2004 when she joined the ranks of Victoria’s Secret “Angels”—an elite group of models representing the iconic lingerie brand. That same year, Alessandra Ambrosio was chosen as the face of Victoria’s Secret “Pink” line, further boosting her global visibility.
But her talents didn’t stop at modeling. Alessandra Ambrosio also stepped into the world of acting, making a memorable cameo in the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale and appearing on HBO’s hit series Entourage (2004–2011). Always thinking ahead, she channeled her entrepreneurial spirit into launching her own swimwear collection, Alessandra Ambrosio by Sais, showcasing both her design sense and business acumen. She also used her influence for good, serving as an Ambassador for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
In 2012, Alessandra Ambrosio made another notable public appearance during the closing ceremonies of the London Summer Olympic Games, where she represented Brazil during the handover to Rio de Janeiro, the host city of the 2016 Olympics. Through every phase of her journey, Alessandra Ambrosio has remained a symbol of grace, ambition, and enduring style.
Well, when it comes to Alessandra Ambrosio’s foray into film, things get a bit interesting — or maybe a little confusing. See, Alessandra Ambrosio is primarily known as a world-famous model, not necessarily for her acting roles. But if we’re talking about movies associated with her, the one that often comes up is Daddy’s Home 2 (2017). Now, here’s the twist: depending on who you ask or where you look, Daddy’s Home 2 (2017) is both cited as Alessandra Ambrosio’s highest rated and lowest rated movie. Yeah, that sounds odd, right? But honestly, her role in the film was pretty minor, so there isn’t much else in her filmography to compare it to. So, whether it’s praised or panned, Alessandra Ambrosio’s most notable appearance on screen still circles back to that same title. In the end, while Alessandra Ambrosio continues to shine in fashion and modeling, her cinematic footprint remains… well, modest at best.
