Alessandra Ambrosio's Everyday Must Haves, From a Calming Drink to Chic Accessories
Brazilian supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio, 43, recently returned to the Victoria's Secret runway, where she's renowned as a seasoned pro. "Walking in the VS Fashion Show this year was so much fun. The energy on the runway was electric," she tells PS of the revamped experience that was staged for the first time in six years this October. "What made this year extra special was the chance to reunite with so many girlfriends that I had not seen for a while."
Of course, that's not the only project the busy mom-of-two and founder of beachwear brand Gal Floripa is focused on at the moment. Ambrosio has also partnered with Togetherband on the SOS Rio Grande do Sul bracelet, which supports climate action and is crafted from recycled ocean plastic and metal from illegal firearms by women from underserved communities in Brazil. "The proceeds go directly to the Brazilian Soul Fund, which I started along with friends after the devastating floods in the South of Brazil to support recovery efforts," Ambrosio explains. "This project means so much to me because it combines sustainability, empowerment, and giving back to a place that's very close to my heart."
In addition to modeling and her philanthropic work, Ambrosio is currently obsessed with cold plunges, which she describes as a game-changer for recovery, sauna sessions, and frequenting her at-home gym. "It's perfect for staying fit no matter how busy life gets," she says. Whether she's on or off set, she always has sunscreen and other moisturizing skin-care essentials on hand, as well as mascara. But the five products she uses every day without fail and recommends to PS readers? You can learn more about those when you scroll.

Alessandra Ambrosio's Morning Routine Must Have
"My Nespresso Vertuo Plus ($110, originally $169) makes my mornings so much easier! There is nothing better than the smell of coffee in the morning," Ambrosio says of the kitchen device that heats up to brew in just 25 seconds and makes four different cup sizes with the touch of a button.
As for the rest of her morning, Ambrosio says, "Off-duty days are my absolute favorite — it's all about balance! I wake up early, take the kids to school, grab a quick coffee, and start my day with meditation. Depending on the day, sometimes I like to do yoga or exercise with friends, and a must each day is either taking the dogs for a walk or playing with them in the backyard."

Alessandra Ambrosio's Sleep Routine Must Have
The Spotify app ($0) is Ambrosio's go-to for winding down, though she also uses her curated playlists for every move and movement, from working out to hosting friends. "Another thing that I do every day is journal before going to bed; it is the perfect way to get your thoughts out and set intentions for the next day," she says of her evening routine. Another essential for sleep is her personal pillow, which travels with her wherever she goes.
