Alessandra Ambrosio shows off her incredible figure in scanty swimsuit

She’s best known for being a Victoria’s Secret model.

Yet Alessandra Ambrosio proved that she’s no angel as she put on a very cheeky display in a skimpy brown swimsuit.

Soaking up the sunshine in Formentera on Tuesday, the 36-year-old Brazilian beauty ensured all eyes would be on her as she frolicked in the sea.

Showing off her lower back tattoo, the supermodel’s pert posterior was in full display in the thong-style garment.

With cut out detailing to show off her toned abs and slender physique, Alessandra sizzled in the skimpy one-piece.

With her chestnut locks sodden and loose, she finished off the look with a pair of gold mirrored aviators.

With her figure so impeccably toned, it’s hard to believe Alessandra is a busy working mother-of-two.

Alessandra shares daughter Anja, with, and son Noah, five, with Jamie, who she began dating in 2005.

The couple then became engaged on 12 May 2008 after Alessandra became pregnant with their daughter – and have remained this way ever since.

Alessandra recently spoke candidly about becoming a mother in an interview with Net-A-Porter last year, and admitted since having children, her approach to modelling has changed.

The fashion star explained: ‘I used to be 100% comfortable on lingerie shoots – then I had a child.

‘Somehow it felt a bit weirder to be in lingerie once I was a mum. Your body will never go back to exactly what it was before pregnancy, whatever people tell you. It can’t.’

However she went on to admit that having children has only made her more confident with her appearance, as it gave her body a higher purpose in life.

‘But I think I have a better body now than before I had kids…

‘It just looks more formed now and I feel better about it than I did.’
