Alessandra Ambrosio shows off her model figure in a black bikini and fringed kaftan

She's a Victoria's Secret veteran and has rocked the runway for the lingerie brand for the past decade.

And Alessandra Ambrosio showcased the body that propelled her to fame as she filmed a television segment in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Wednesday.

Shooting a segment for TV Globo, the supermodel, 34, put her incredible figure on show in a skimpy black bikini, which highlighted her toned abs and impressive cleavage.

The Brazilian bombshell teamed her sexy swimwear with a pair of high-waisted cut-off denim shorts and a retro-inspired purple tie-dye kaftan.

Accessorising with a bright green leather clutch bag and numerous bracelets, the mother-of-two ditched her usual towering heels in favour of a pair of flat strappy sandals.

Alessandra carried a pair of mirrored shades in her hand and wore her long brunette locks flowing in beachy tousled waves down her bag, while completing her low-key look with natural make-up.

Although the Victoria's Secret Angel is working during her trip to her native Brazil, she has also made sure to enjoy some well-earned family time.

If you're looking for a bit of bikini inspiration to keep you going until summer comes back around, it doesn't get much better than Alessandra Ambrosio.

The supermodel always manages to turn a sunbathing session in a photoshoot, so it was only a matter of time before the Victoria's Secret Angel landed her own swimwear collection. And guess who gets to model the designs?

This time she's filming for a TV show in Rio de Janeiro and she took things back to basics in a strappy black triangle top from her Ale by Alessandra line. It's the definition of an itsy bitsy bikini, and we love the gold metal charm details.

Sadly (although not surprisingly!) this exact style is now sold out, but click (right) to splash out on some new swimwear.

Posting numerous idyllic shots to her Instagram page over the past few days, the brunette beauty seems to have been having a blast with her nearest and dearest, including mini-me daughter Anja, seven, and son Noah, four.

Alessandra's businessman fiance, Jamie Mazur, hasn't been pictured on the trip so far.

The model has been very busy of late, appearing in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York City last month for a 10th time and filming a small part in the sequel to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie opposite Will Arnett.

The catwalk queen was named Victoria's Secret's first-ever spokesmodel in 2004, and has since gone on to front campaigns for the likes of Armani Exchange, Christian Dior, and Ralph Lauren.
