As an accomplished model, she’s paid thousands to strut down the catwalk.
But when it comes to her four-year-old daughter Alessandra Ambrosio is happy to swap the spotlight for a cheerleader role.
The doting mother looked full of pride as she picked up little Anja from dance class on Thursday.

As her daughter pranced along in her pink-and-white tutu, her 32-year-old mother looked on indulgently.
The mini prima ballerina wore her brunette locks pinned back with pink clips and dancer’s pumps on her feet.
Yet the model-in-the-making is clearly still enjoying her childhood, seen carrying a Straberry Shortcake book in her right hand.

Meanwhile, Alessandra Ambrosio rocked a low-key look, ditching her usual glam to go make-up free and treat herself to coffee and cake.
Keeping her incredible figure under wraps, the mother-of-two wore a casual white T-shirt and cardigan, which she teamed with a pair of low-slung striped skinny jeans and flat white sandals.
She also pushed her long brunette tresses away from her face with sunglasses.

She evidently decided a treat was in order and tucked into a delicious triple berry cake at the Sweet Lady Jane Bakery.
Posting a snap of the delectable delight on her Instagram page, she wrote: ‘My #sweet afternoon #dessert #tripleberrycake. My favorite afternoon snack !!!!’
Though she engages in a regular fitness routine including yoga, the Brazilian bombshell doesn’t adhere to a strict diet.

‘As long as you’re feeling good with your weight and the way you look, that’s what matters,’ she told OK! Magazine.
Alessandra juggles her glamorous globe-trotting career with being a working mother to daughter, Anja and one-year-old son, Noah, and businessman fiance of five years, Jamie Mazur.
