Alessandra Ambrosio
Model
A lithe brunette with a signature navel piercing,
Alessandra Ambrosio was one of the many Brazilian models to hit it big internationally in the late 1990s. She entered the Elite Look of the Year competition in 1996 and went from there to advertisements for Guess? clothing (the same line which helped launch the careers of
Anna Nicole Smith and
Laetitia Casta). She has also appeared in ads for Revlon, Giorgio Armani and Victoria's Secret, among many other companies.
