SUPERMODEL and Victoria’s Secret star Alessandra Ambrosio will arrive in Sydney on Tuesday to film an episode of the new season of Australia’s Next Top Model.
The Brazilian beauty is the first confirmed guest judge for the next instalment of the hit Foxtel reality series and will act as a mentor to the 12 finalists.

Ambrosio’s duties this week will include helping the new crop of wannabe models to navigate their very first photo shoot.
The theme of the photo shoot will be natural beauty — meaning no make-up, just fresh and unaltered looks.
Ambrosio will also be present on judgement day when one of the girls will be sent home.
Following the sudden and tragic death of model and former judge Charlotte Dawson earlier this year, producers of the show opted against formally replacing her on the panel.
Instead, a series of high-profile industry guests will help fashion designer Alex Perry and model Jennifer Hawkins to find a winner.
“I am so excited,” Perry said. “Alessandra is an iconic beauty and ranked in the top 10 supermodels in the world.
“The fact she will be able to spend a few days with our girls and share her knowledge and expert advice at their first photo shoot is beyond priceless.”
Ambrosio is one of the most successful models in the world and has represented a number of high-profile brands, from Christian Dior to Prada.
But she’s best known for fronting lingerie powerhouse Victoria’s Secret for the past decade.
Her husband Jamie Mazur and two children Anja and Noah will tag along on her trip to Australia, it’s understood.
A Foxtel spokesman said more big name guests would be announced in coming weeks, with rumours suggesting ‘90s icon Linda Evangelista is among those being considered.
Filming of Australia’s Next Top Model began at the weekend and the new season will air early next year on Fox8.
