Thoughts, everyone? In other Ambrosio news, the supermodel stunner recently chatted with Yahoo! about her overall diet regime and her go-to foods. She said: "If you have time, it's great to try and work out three to four times a week. If I have something big, like the Victoria's Secret fashion show or a shoot, I try to work out daily. Two days ago I had pasta and I knew I would be in a bikini today so I just had a little. I felt like eating it! I just don't eat too much of it. You don't ever want to deprive yourself. But during the week I try to be healthy. I love salads, teas, and green juices. I get a lot of organic food. Anything fresh is my go-to." Sounds like she likes to indulge at times but knows her limit... totally agree with her. Life is too short to completely cut out any food you love!

Alessandra Ambrosio seen on Oct 31 2012 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The always stunning Alessandra Ambrosio was photographed heading to the after party for Sao Paulo Fashion Week 2012 in Sao Paulo, Brazil on October 31, after walking in the Colcci runway show the day before. For her after party outfit, Alessandra went for the gold in a gorgeous metallic long sleeve mini dress, which she paired with simple nude strappy sandals. To get a look inspired by AA's here, start with a sexy metallic dress - such as Alexia Admor's One Shoulder Triangle Sequin Dress in Bronze or Sue Wong's Metallic Low Back Dress in Gold - and then add on to the metallic mood with a pair of striking heels, such as Giuseppe Zanotti's Miniglitt Ramino Heels in Rose Gold. From there, keep your accessories and jewelry to a minimum, as Alessandra did here. If you must add on a piece of jewelry, I'd suggest opting for something low-key, such as a nice pair of stud earrings. Ben Amun's Small Crystal Flower Stud Earrings in Silver are a good choice. What are your thoughts on Alessandra's ensemble here, friends - hot or not? After her fashionable appearance in Brazil, Ale was back to work in NYC at a fitting for the much anticipated Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

A metallic manicure and a pink lippie completed AA's outfit. What are your thoughts on this look for the Victoria's Secret supermodel, friends - thumbs up or thumbs down? The gorgeous gal recently dished to Modelinia.com on how she stays healthy during Fashion Week and prepares for the upcoming Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and said: "I try to stay healthy during Fashion Week and I have a green juice every day. It is best if you can get it fresh otherwise you can pick it one up at the grocery store. I like to go to Whole Foods. Oh and I get massages, especially foot massages. You need them after spending so much time in heels!" However, it seems that Ale has one indulgence, as the following item is regularly on her backstage request list: salt and vinegar chips. "They're my favorite!" See, even supermodels take a moment to indulge every now and again!
