Alessandra Ambrosio Is Back in Swimwear
June 14, 2010 in Alessandra Ambrosio by Versus
One model after another!
Here’s 29 year-old model and self-named “curvier girl” Alessandra Ambrosio in a new ad campaign for Adriana Degreas swimwear, looking super thin and super tight.
Are you a fan of Alessandra’s look here?
2 more from this bunch after the jump!
too skinny but i love her
She looks like she’s dying in the first pic
Like literally, on her death bed.
The rest just look like stills taken from Auschwitz. I hate using that word, seriously, but I think this type of modelling makes a farce of the fashion industry. It’s hard for me to come up with more extreme pictures.
Maybe this is because photoshop makes everything extreme possible, but I get almost despondant seeing these. Then a sense of resignation. Then shame.
totally agree, this is wrong. i dunno if she is healthy or not but here she looks sick, and even though i don’t think models should be think as role models, this is just irreponsable.
There’s definetly photoshop to try and make her for and against her, but the has definetly lost too much weight, she has always been skinny but not like this

Wow that is the first pic i have seen that I have found her appealing. she did look healthy at one point. who knew…!
btw that last pic just looks so bad. like, i dont know, something is really off about it…
what’s off is that the proportions are completely screwed up! Her thighs are as big around as her neck, and her face, even tilted back a little looks just as wide as her hips! She’s definitely TOO skinny here, especially to be considered “curvy” in any sense of the word. And the photoshopping just makes her look… well, like a re-animated corpse with a lot of glamourous makeup
Her face is beautiful, but the rest of her really does look like it rattled out of a graveyard somewhere. this is not healthy at all!
sorry for the typo, my keyboard sucks
i think its totally inappropriate to compare her with a victim of the holocaust. they were actually starved silly. ale looks totally fine. even in candid, she looks fit and fine.
yes, she’s skinny but she’s a model. its her job to be skinny.
yes, she’s a much healthier size a few years back. but ever since she had a baby and had grown older, i assume her metabolism is slower and everything so she must be working harder to stay model slim. probably had over done it a lil but then again, we had been seeing her in a more edgy high fashion shoot so perhaps she wants to explore the field instead of just lingerie/swimwear modeling.
if you had ever seen a high fashion runaway show or editorial shoot, you would know there’s plenty of other models who are far skinnier (and not even toned and fit like ale) who looks like they suffer from anorexia or something. its the norm. its how the fashion people sees it. bear in mind too that the fashion world is cruel and only cares bout money and if she wants to be on top of her game, she needs to look a certain way. i’m sure she have enough people judging her looks and body.
i’m sorry for the long rant. i love alessandra and i don’t like the comparison to Auschwitz.
that may be true, the whole fashion industry thing, but that doesn’t mean is right, and its definetly not good for alessandra or anybody who looks up to her
Agree I think she looks like a rotting corpse in the first pic. It actually disturbed me when I saw it.
Curves WHERE?
maybe she meant curvy bones…;)
Yeah, because when you think about it even skeletons are kinda curvy : D
LOL so funny but true
Not funny.
I personally love her body, especially how toned her stomach is. Although In the first pic she does look extremely skinny. Maybe it’s just the angles?
no, she is just extremely skinny, you can see it a lot better when you see unphotoshopped photos of her..
yea eik, i agree.. i say a picture of her in a bikini and her stomach even looked swollen like those starving children in 3rd world countries, seriously. she’s toooo skinny, if she gained just like 5 to 10 lbs, she would look so much better!
I strongly believe she is not at all toned because I believe even stronger that she doesn’t have enough fat in her body to have enough energy to work out. If somebody doesn’t have enough fat, than the muscles will be very visible under the skin and that person will APPEAR toned.
there is no denying she has a great waist, but in my opinion there is something not very feminine about her body…I think its the fact that it looks almost too hard, like too bony and muscly.
that was my first thought! to me her body doesn’t look very feminine. And besides what you described, her torso is so long that it makes it look like there’s no curves (when she does have a tiny waist), I guess if the torso was shorter, her waist to hip ratio would be more visible. I used to be a fan of her face, but lately she’s looking very harsh to me, like a very handsome guy with makeup on, it could be that there’s more angles to her face since she’s lost some weight. All that aside, If I was given the chance, I would have her body in a minute!, I just liked it better the way it used to be a few years ago.
lol! a very handsome guy with make up on! i love it ha ha
hahaha at the handsome guy comment.
yea i used to think she was GORGEOUS, she was my fav vs model, but recently she has started to look very mannish and harsh.
wow, shes soooo curvy. Practically like looking at Marilyn Monroe. She’s so fat. yeh…
Lol…when did she got that waist …
i was thinking the same i remembered her being more straight, specially the waist, to me the sec picture looks so fake and is scaring =/
…and you can be sure that they photoshopped the hell out of her to make her look less bony….creepy!
lol. Bad photoshop job. Hilarious
i agree with your comment…she looks sick skinny and weird, i dont like those photos at all……one thing is be skinny and other look desproporcionate …..
Too skinny. She looks ill.
Her shoulders looks awful in the 2nd picture, I’ve never seen that.
They sure used a lot of photoshop and good lightening, she usually doesn’t have any waist- hip- ratio and looks rather bony than muscular. Definately too skinny.
If you want a curvier, healthier and more muscular model for your ad- why not hire one??
Seriously, she can’t be perceived as “curvy” at all! However, she’s still gorgeous!
Something is seriously off in the second photo….I pray that it’s just bad photoshopping gone awry because she can’t be that skinny. Her arms are non-existent. And in candids she is not this emacitaed.
I’m a fan. Except for the 2nd shot
In the last picture she looks like a corpse…
Hm..She looks kinda sexy but she is too skinny for my taste…
If her body wasn’t so long with the same sort of stats she would probably look more curvy. But with an extra long torso the curves just get lost IMO.
scary skinny
+1
seriously the pictures are good but the photoshop is HORRIBLE
Even though she looks so long and narrow (snake like) I have to admire her fit and lean body. If she was a a few inches bigger with the same level of definition she would look amazing IMO.
wohooo that’s disgusting.
looks like an ad for becoming a pro ana!!!!!
i agree actually. her body looks wierd!
”curvier girl” pfff… seriously? lololol
The second picture is disgusting, what happened? Her face looks wonky, her boobs look lopsided, she looks scary skinny, her skin looks grey, VERY werid shot. In the other shots she looks good though. She does have a curvy body because she has a good waist-hip ratio and her boobs are in proportion to her body. However she isnt stand-out curvy in any way so labelling herself a “curvy girl” when she is both very thin and nothing spectacular in her curves is just asking for backlash…however yes, she does have curves.
Curvy?
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
She’s really beautiful, though.
What a fatty! She’s such a curvy girl, she needs to lose some weight, I have no idea how she got hired as a VS model.
This really is a lot of photoshopping (+ in some photos it’s positioning and a crap photoshop job)
They have SERIOUSLY liquidated the sides of her waist, arms and hips in all of these pictures. I guess that’s the benefit of black backdrops.
She is very skinny but she has never been emaciated.
I call phototshop. Kind of like those ridiculous ralph lauren adds…
you took the words right out of my mouth. i feel the same way.
Exactly! I don’t know why people even bother commenting on her body in these pics, yes, she’s skinny, but not with these weird proportions!
I do not like her face. Body – thin to the point of not being that aesthetically pleasing IMO, but really it’s the face that makes me not like these pics. To each their own.
very bad pshop job. she is THAT narrow.
i meant **isn’t** that narrow.
She looks like she could have saddlebag issues in her future. Now settle down everyone, I’m not saying she has them now, but from the way she’s made, I can see it being an issue later in life.
Gonna go with the majority of people here and say, ‘WTF is with the second picture?’. It wouldn’t look out of place on some pro-ana site or awareness poster about EDs. That is not a good look by any means. She looks painfully thin. I’m hoping that it’s just the angle and a heavy-handed photoshopper. The last two look better, but I’m a bit thrown off that sees herself as “curvy”, I don’t see curve, she is toned and err bony.
I love really thin girls, but I find these picture (especially the first two) kind of scary. I think it’s a combination of position and photoshop.
She looks like a bag of bones in the 2nd pic. WTH? I thought women want to look sexy in a swimsuit, not cancer stricken.
def she got photoshoped… her hips r not so small
she has curvy structure with zero fat in her body, so yes she can say she is curvy. I don’t agree when people call a fat person curvy, the shape has nothing to do with weight. she is really skinny, but has her curves.
She has a very stretched out hourglass shape, aka vase….but because her middle is soooo long it almost makes her look devoid of curves.
Plus if these pics are a true depiction of her body fat level then I’d put her around 18% body fat which is between lean and athletic.
I always thought a long torso added curves, people with very short torso like lindsay lohan have no waist because there isnt enough room for it between rips and hips lol,
I think it also depends on the shape of the ribcage and width of the shoulders. If you have a short torso, but a V-shaped ribcage and wide shoulders the waist is clearer and its small size is emphasised. Halle Berry is a good example of what I mean (though I think her torso and legs are in proportion with each other).
Well obviously it depends on the size of the waist in relation to the hips. A very short waist chubby waist and narrow hips is not going to look curvy.
But a tapered short waist with full hips and bust gives the appearance of more curves than a narrow elongated waistline with the same size hips and bust.
I’d say a lot less than 18%
I’m around her level of thinness (not in these pics) and I’m usually around 10% – 11%
Just because she is super skinny in size does not make her 10% body fat!
Having seen women at around 10% body fat, it looks super shredded, every muscle group is completely definined with veins poking out everywhere…does Ale fit this description? I think not.
18% body fat is typical of VS models as it’s very lean compared to the average female but not so defined that it starts to looks unfeminine.
I’m around 12-13% body fat according to the body fat percentage calculator, and I don’t even look as skinny as Alessandra in the above photos. She is very skinny, but they probably photoshopped her a lot to make her look emaciated.
“I’m around 12-13% body fat according to the body fat percentage calculator, and I don’t even look as skinny as Alessandra in the above photos. She is very skinny, but they probably photoshopped her a lot to make her look emaciated.”
First, body fat calculators are notoriously inaccurate. You’d probably a better estimate pulling a number out of a hat!
Secondly, body fat percentage and body size are not directly related. You can be thick and have a lower percentage of body fat that someone skinny.
I agree with Kate: body fat calculators are rubbish. If I do a belly dancing move where I shimmy my hips you can see some fat wobble. Yet body fat calculators tell me I have -3% body fat…
she’s not an hourglass or a vase, I don’t care how long her middle is, she’s a ruler, her waist in these pics, as well as her weird proportions, are due to photoshop, in candids she always looks like a ruler.
agree!!!!! no way she’s and hourglass/vase. a typical ruler ffs
Not sure that she has a vase/hourglass structure. I think she’s a ruler with slight waist definition; a column.
But you are right about structure and curves. A woman may have an hourglass or pear shaped structure, which are curvy shapes, but if they are as thin as this they still have their body types but cease to be curvy in my opinion. Curvy is a about shape but you need some meat for the full effect.
EEWWWW…. That’s all I have to say…. I’m gonna have nightmares….
i like her, but did she look in the mirror before ? lol where are the curves ?
Do they even have to photoshop this girl??? I mean, she’s so skinny, I see little else but flesh and bones.
I never really wanted to comment on how thin she is, but now I will…that girl is a bag of bones.
She’s kind of alien like to me. I’m sorry. I think she could definitely stand to gain some pounds. :\
I will say she seems fit, though, so I’m not going around calling her anorexic.
Shouldn’t they only allow proffesionals to do photoshop?
I mean, these look like they were done in a circus mirror. The first pic, the bra looks so dramatically different, that it looks like a post-it on top of another pic.
She has a dramatic body, striking even, but she does NOT look like a 7 foot sea snake who swam in steroids and sparkle.
omg…this looks like a photoshopped thinspo picture. NOT good girl, not good. The first picture looks ridiculous…her head looks so much larger than her arm that she looks like she has a withered arm…
omg she is tooo skinny. she looked naturally skinny, but now it seems she tries too hard…like, she is 29, so it would be nice to look like a real woman ,not like a 13 year teenager?
there is just muscles and bones,no fat at all,jesus…how many efforts you need to put to look like that?she is very attractive, and some fat would look even better
i don’t like to throw around the A Word too lightly, but she does look anorexic in these pictures.
looking at her pictures I feel really fat !!! and my stats are 35-25-33 hmmm
she looks skeletal. only good pic is the one in the white swim suit
She’s Gorgeous! She has a rockin bod and look at that gorgeous hair!
they cut off a part of her leg in the 4th pic. i think that she keep on loosing weight because everyone’s perception about sizes has changed in the past couple of years. even I sometimes call some people(in my head, not out loud) fat when in fact they’re normal, like really normal. so imagine what it’s like to be surrounded by skinnier girls every day i feel like she thinks that she needs to loose weight in order to be attractive (to the fashion industry)…..jeez I forgot what i wanted to say initially….
Wow, how about the last photo too…they’ve surely done something to her hips/torso, surely her shoulders shouldn’t be so dramtically wider than her hips!
love her body
Damn I’d want to be thin but not that thin, it’s kinda creepy…but she has a beautiful face
I would never ever want her body
woahhhhh
! she looks like one of them girls who have been photoshoped to look really anorexic, but i bet here shes been photoshoped to look fuller, her bones are proding out everywhere! i like the skinny look but she looks like shes waisting awayyyyy :/!! her skinny-ness has been enphasised with body glow here as well, she looks painfull
Oh my she looks realy really thin heree! But u know she I’d healthy for herself.. Iv that makes sense, but u know what u mean? She I’d just batyrally thin, which is pretty rare, but I does happen!
uhhh… if this is curvy im morbidly obese…
She looks so fierce in the first and third photos, but I’m not sure what happened with the second – she looks kind of creepy. And I like her top half in the fourth photo, especially her killer abs and tiny waist, but her hips looks scarily narrow – although they are slim in real life, they don’t look like this.
Wow, she really looks amazing! She photographs well. She really has a small frame because she doesn’t look bony at all. Just very thin. She has a real nice body.
Wow, i thought my shoulders were bony.
She is much too thin. Someone needs to intervene.
The second and fourth picture are soooo fake it´s not even funny!! That is NOT her waist, her face have been really “fixed” and what it does seem real is her tiny frame and i neither like it nor believe this is healthy. I’m more of a skinny lover but this to much
What’s the big deal?? She looks great!
Sorry but she is terrifying looking. It looks as though if she doesn’t eat soon she will die. GROSS.
She is not a good role model. Her arm in the first picture looks like a child’s and her body is so out of proportion in the last picture. It’s also sad that she names herself a ‘curvier’ girl..what kind of message is that for younger girls?
wow, photoshopped!
I’m usually a huge fan and love her body but she looks sooo skinny in these photos. What happened to her. She doesn’t look sexy here like she usually does
look at the difference of WHR between the 2nd and last pic…
I don’t like her body, too skinny, no waist
she’d look better if she gained a little
Sorry but i don`t` find this girl attractive at all.She`s too skiny,bones coming out from everywhere.That`s not a body,that`s a skelaton look to me
How can so many people love ‘her waist’, when it is the result of photoshop? She is a seriously skinny girl verging on underweight already, who has had inches shaved off her waist with photoshop. No wonder so many young people are anorexic, they are trying to force their bodies to fit an ideal that can only be achieved with photoshop.
I know, that is actually the sad part. Take Victoria’s Secret. You have these really skinny girls with almost no ass or boobs (if you see unphotoshopped pics of them without filled bras, you’ll see most of them don’t) and then they take pictures of them – photoshop away the bones – shave more inchs off their waists – electronic silicon-boobs and voila! You have the ideal woman: 100% impossible to achieve in real life.
I think the best would be to have curvy AND skinny women, and show them both as they are: Here’s Alessandra with a new bikini, it suit skinny girls because you don’t need big boobs to look good in it. Here’s “insert curvy girl’s name” with another bikini, and this one looks very good and those curvier girls.
I don’t know if I’m making any sense…
Oh, you talk so much truth. Victoria’s Secret used to be about that, but not anymore
I used to be a regular customer, but their products are no longer addressed to me, so I stopped buying. It’s such a shame, because VS is such a strong name and this will have a negative impact on young women and girls.
These pictures are DISGUSTING! They don’t even look real and i would NEVER wish to look that skinny ever!
EAT SOMETHING!!!! THIS IS GROSE… but really , her head looks so big, like , it’s the only thing left on her…
OMG…I looked extremely similar to that when I was anorexic. I can’t understand why this sickly-skinny look is chosen to promote swimwear. It doesn’t look remotely attractive or healthy, and even if she is healthy, she`s still an exception and can’t be seen as an ideal.
But honestly, if this woman thinks she’s a “curvier girl”, she probably has a distorted body image (and I don’t think curvy = necessarily big).
I don’t know about you, but it DOES make me want the swimwear. I don’t even swim!
She’s not selling any bathing suits to me
Awful!
Almost looks like an ad to go for an IP treatment at a eating disorder recovery place.
In the first picture, her upper abs looks great. You can really tell she’s been working hard after giving birth. The second looks very skinny, but I think she’s beautiful and sexy, and THOSE EYES! I’ve never seen a model with sexier eyes than Ale, and she knows how to use it. The third one was a little… over-photoshopped. Her waist looks to tiny and her hair is just NOT credible. The last picture was a little freaky looking, but I think that’s just photoshop, and that’s not her fault.
All in all, I think she is (here, as well as in pics without makeup or photoshop) very sexy and pretty. And I loved all the bathingsuits/bikinis!!!
OMG, she looks soooo sexy. She is about as sexy as it gets. She looks so fit, healthy, & tight with a perfect long lean narrow body with perfect sexy curves…feminine perfection, WOW! She is stunningly sexy! She has one the hottest bodies of any supermodel.
she looks perfect in real life. these are all photoshopped in all the wrong ways. it just doesn’t look good. and I’m a fan of the ultra thin-i’m dying look
don’t be so harsh on her, it’s not like it’s her fault really. I mean, most likely she is naturally thin. No one could pull off that look for their whole lives without ending up obese or dead in the end. Second, it’s the industry you should blame. Yeah, a few extra pounds would’ve looked good on her, but would she still be hired if she did gain?
Sorry, but she became famous at a heavier weight; she was still slim, but her face was radiant, she had breasts and a nice bum. There is something wrong going on with her, being a hormonal imbalance caused by birth, starvation or drugs…! who knows….
How the HELL does she think she’s a ‘curvy’ girl?!?! If that’s curvy, God help the rest of us!
Poor thing looks skeletal!!
sorry but i hate how people assume because she’s thin she is a bad example for young girls, making them feel bad about the way they look. that’s bullshit if you ask me. yeah few pounds would be cool but to make assumptions about her figure or say she’s unhealthy is crazy. if this was a woman who was a lot fuller and thicker and someone made hateful comments about that woman, boy people would be on the defense and say it’s wrong to say that, young girls this and that, etc. give me a break. there are young girls who spend thousands of dollars on surgery to look more like a kim kardashian. you hate how women are viewed and ridiculed for their bodies but you guys do the same thing when it comes to thin women and you know it. and why assume victoria secret is setting a bad example for young girls? yes they’re thin but doesn’t mean they’re unhealthy or not real. sick of the double standard and every woman should feel beautiful about themselves but comments like this shows why beauty standards is so messed up.
Oh, man you soooo got this wrong! Only a little number of women are size 00, but the industry sets out the message that everybody has to be this size in order to be beautiful and successful. Anyway there is a lot of things I can say about this issue. I personally have a friend that was on the verge of anorexia because of the silly standards that were imposed on us ever since we were very little, to be as thin as possible no matter what!
I know it’s useless saying this to you, as you abviously have no idea what I’m talking about and what VS was about 10 yrs ago! People like you make me very mad… so I’ll stop here!
What on earth? This actually looks like some sort of anorexic warning/advert. The swimwear looks dreadful on her.
[...] last batch of modelesque shots featuring Alessandra got you talking (121 comments-worth of talking), so let’s take a look at Ale’s new spread in the July [...]
i have never commented on pictures on here before, but this one stood out to me for some reason. After experiencing bulimia and anorexia for several years, although i never found myself that successful with it, i see this picture as a reminder of what i used to find beautiful. 2 years ago I would stare at pictures like this and cry, begging of god to let my body look like hers: thin, emaciated, “perfect”. But now, i realize this isn’t good. its gross
Hello .. Can any 1 answer my question ?
Where is her extra sagy skin after delievery and where is all the strech marks gone ? What Did She Do ? Plz answer me :/
photoshop babe.. unless you’re being sarcastic..?
