Alessandra Ambrosio Brings Beachside Confidence Back to Brazil in Plaid Bikini Escape

Alessandra Ambrosio returned to familiar ground this week, sharing sun-washed images from a Brazilian getaway that reminded everyone why she remains one of the most durable figures in modern modeling.

The 44-year-old model posted a series of Instagram photos from Florianópolis, where she wore a small, colorful plaid bikini and little else besides layered necklaces and dark sunglasses. The shots alternated between ocean dips and deliberate poses on the sand, including one rear-facing frame that highlighted a thong bikini bottom. It was relaxed, confident, and unmistakably Ambrosio — no gimmicks required.

She wasn’t alone. Fellow models Ludi Delfino and Cassie Lara joined her on the trip, tagged in the carousel captioned simply, “Lá isla bonita… Floripa!!!” A short nod to the location, and a longer one to the mood: unhurried, coastal, and unapologetically indulgent.

Away from the beach, Ambrosio’s personal life appears just as settled. The former Victoria’s Secret Angel has been dating Australian jewelry designer Buck Palmer since 2024, and recently enlisted him as her unofficial photographer during another Brazilian stop in Pernambuco. In interviews earlier this year, she described their relationship in plain terms — enjoying time together, chasing small pleasures, keeping life light.

Ambrosio is also a mother of two, sharing daughter Anja, 17, and son Noah, 13, with former fiancé Jamie Mazur. In October 2025, Anja made a rare red-carpet appearance alongside her mother and Palmer at a screening of The Secret Agent during the Bravo Film Festival in Los Angeles — a reminder that Ambrosio’s life now balances fashion, family, and freedom with practiced ease.

For a model who’s spent decades in front of the camera, the latest images don’t feel like a comeback or a statement. They read more like continuity — a woman comfortable in her body, her country, and her place in the culture.
