She is one of the most in-demand models in the world, and Alessandra Ambrosio demonstrated exactly why today.

The 30-year-old Brazilian-born model showed off her long slim legs and svelte figure on a shopping trip in West Hollywood.

With her long brown hair pulled into a ponytail, the Victoria's Secret model looked stunning in a loose light blue mini-dress and sandals.

The model also accessorised with a multitude of bracelets and a short pendant style necklace.

She looked particularly pleased with her purchases as she left a store with her friend, DJ Tatiana Fontes.

The model was clearly enjoying some girly time, having left her three-year-old daughter Anja at home for the day.

Alessandra and her fiance businessman Jamie Mazur, welcomed Anja in August 2008 in the model's native Brazil.

The star said last year that she is one of the fortunate women who get to eat what they want and not put on weight.

'I've been tiny since I was four, and I eat whatever I want,' she told Women's Wear Daily. 'All that matters is that I stay healthy.'

In fact, the star recently told The Huffington Postthat her favorite breakfast is 'a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and a cappuccino with extra foam.'

She also blasted some sections of the media for their attitude towards her appearance.

'If I'm two pounds heavier, I'm fat. If I'm skinnier, I'm sick. It's ridiculous,' she told the publication.

Alessandra added that she keeps herself fit through Pilates, yoga and running.
