She’s long been known for proudly waving the flag for her home country of Brazil since rising to fame as one of the world’s most coveted supermodels.
So it was inevitable that Alessandra Ambrosio was among the throng of supporters of the South American nation’s football players as they successfully faced off against Serbia during their final group stage game at the World Cup on Wednesday night.
But the retired Victoria’s Secret model, 37, appeared more keen on getting the right angles than cheering on her countrymen as she took a stream of selfies from the stands at Moscow’s Spartak Arena before posing for snaps for a pal.
Cheerleader: Alessandra Ambrosio cheered on Brazil during their victorious World Cup match against Serbia at Moscow’s Spartak Arena on Wednesday evening
Wearing the team’s signature yellow and green jersey – which was autographed by the players she was there to cheer on – with a pair of tiny blue shorts, the brunette beauty made a glamorous addition to the stands as she soaked up the action.
But she appeared drawn to her modelling past while standing among the thousands of sports fans, pouting as she posed for selfies on her smartphone, before playfully flashing a peace sign as her equally stunning friend took snapshots of her.
With her dark tresses falling beyond her shoulders and shielding her eyes with a pair of tinted sunglasses, the star’s relaxed demeanour was likely for a good reason, as she watched Brazil romp home with a 2-0 victory during a nail-biting showdown.
