Alessandra Ambrosio proved she can turn any sidewalk into her own personal runway while Christmas shopping on Friday.
The 42-year-old supermodel — who stole the spotlight at Art Basel — traded in her swimsuits for some casual wear as she was spotted in a simple yet chic ensemble of sweater and jeans in Pacific Palisades.
She wore a black cardigan over the plunging taupe sweater as she added a bit of drama with the flared denim leg.
Her trademark brunette tresses were kept long and loose as she added a bit of bling with her silver necklace and bangle bracelets.
The holiday shopping spree comes after Alessandra opened up about her art collection ahead of her appearance at the annual art fair Art Basel.
