Aside from modeling work, Ambrosio serves as an ambassador for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

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 in earnest. Her first notable modeling job was the cover of Brazilian Elle magazine. Elite passed along some of her Polaroids to Guess which led her booking the Millennium GUESS? campaign along with friend and fellow Brazilian Ana Beatriz Barros. She has since appeared in advertisements for brands like Revlon, Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, and Ralph Lauren, as well as the Pirelli Calendar. She has walked the catwalks for designers such as Prada, Chanel, and Oscar de la Renta.

Alessandra Ambrosio has been seen wearing
Alessandra Ambrosio seen on Dec 08 2011 in Los Angeles, CA. Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio and her daughter Anja were photographed picking up Christmas decorations at Rite Aid in LA on December 8, and the Victoria's Secret model sure seemed to have her hands full! For her winter in LA ensemble, Alessandra wore a heather grey top (try Joie's Bronx in Heather Grey) with a printed cardigan (for something similar, try Line's Ben Drape Wrap in Winter, or for one that's longer and a bit cozier, try Free People's Long Yarn Cardigan in Blue) and black scarf. From there, she slipped into a pair of skinny jeans (check out William Rast's Sienna in Cobalt) and black leather boots, and then finished things off with a chic pair of sunglasses. Do you like AA's look here, everyone? The following day, Alessandra and Anja went on a little shopping trip to LA's The Grove, and later checked out Happy Feet 2 in 3D. Alessandra posted an adorable photo of her and Anja wearing their 3D glasses inside the theatre as the film was about to start. So cute that this mom and daughter duo are spending such quality time together during the holidays!
Alessandra Ambrosio seen on Sep 12 2011 in Santa Monica, CA. Spotted looking for houses in Santa Monica on September 12, Alessandra Ambrosio looked cool and casual in an outfit that's perfect for these last summer days. Starting with a pair of cuffed light wash jeans (for a similar pair, try either Hudson Jeans' Marilyn Crop in Telford or Bleulab's Reversible Curve Bootcut in Aqua Fortis), Alessandra wore a slouchy button down shirt (go sheer with Kimberly Taylor's Crinkled Button Down in Nude) along with a pair of strappy sandals. On the accessory front, the Victoria's Secret beauty chose a thin strap belt (for a cool option, try Julie K Handbags' Lisa Belt in Slate Cobra) and a silver disc pendant necklace for her house hunting excursion. Do you like AA's off-duty style here, everyone? As I'm sure you've heard, the Missoni for Target collection was the hot-ticket item over the past week, and Alessandra made certain that she didn't miss out on the zigzagged goods. She hit up the private launch for the collection along with Rachel Zoe, Camilla Belle, Joy Bryant, and Elizabeth Olsen (Mary-Kate and Ashley's little sis). Did any of you succumb to the frenzy of the Missoni for Target line, readers?
Alessandra Ambrosio seen on Sep 04 2011 in Malibu,CA. Supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio was photographed attending the Malibu Carnival and Chili Cook Off with her family on September 4, taking part in the Labor Day Weekend festivities alongside hubby Jamie Mazure and daughter Anja. Alessandra took advantage of these last few days of summer - although the weather in LA continues to sizzle - by wearing a pair of Wildfox cut off shorts (get the look with Paige Premium Denim's Short Silverlake in White) with a sheer patterned tunic (check out either Ella Moss' Atlantis Tunic in Charcoal or Hale Bob's Beaded Tunic in Neutral) and a pair of crystallized flip flops. Accessory wise, an oversized pair of sunglasses and a lightweight summer scarf (like Calypso's Navy Ombre Scarf) completed her outfit. What are your thoughts on this ensemble, everyone? Hit or miss? Then again, Alessandra can pretty much wear ANYTHING and still look utterly gorgeous. The Victoria's Secret stunner has been pretty busy lately, as she was spotted earlier in the month working on her fitness in Santa Monica. She also spent time celebrating her adorable daughter's third birthday, as she Tweeted: "What a fun day!!! Had the best time with my family and friends at my daughter’s birthday!!! 3 years being a mother... best years of my life!!!" Sounds like fun!
