We haven't even celebrated Thanksgiving quite yet, but Alessandra Ambrosio is already gifting us an early holiday present…The 34-year-old supermodel is gracing the December/January issue of Maxim magazine and is completely nude.
Wearing nothing but a pair of sunglasses and a chunky gold and silver necklace with a newspaper carefully covering her chest, Ambrosio glistens in the sun while laying out atop a lounge chair.
However, while it looks like this sultry, sex-goddess persona comes naturally to Ambrosio, she says it's all part of her job. "I'm playing a part," she reveals to the publication. "I'm not like that every day."

Despite being one of the sexiest women alive, Ambrosio is incredibly down-to-earth.  "I like my denim shorts and white T-shirt," she admits of her favorite outfit.
She prefers to be on the beach or in the ocean as she loves to surf, and if she could, she'd eat pierogi—the Danish dumplings her grandmother used to make her as a child—all the time.

In fact, it was that upbringing that helped mold her into the laid back yet totally successful woman she is today. "The women in my family were my role models," she says, noting how her mother and her grandmother both worked tirelessly.
With a resume full of the highest fashion modeling gigs, a recently-launched line of swimwear and a popular fashion and lifestyle brand, alé by Alessandra, we'd say she's definitely living up to the hardworking lifestyle her mother and grandmother taught her!
