Alessandra Ambrosio shows off her very leggy figure in a black top and short shorts

Alessandra Ambrosio put on a very leggy display in a black top and short shorts as she attended the 77th annual the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday.

The Brazilian model, 43, belted the shorts and paired them with a ribbed sleeveless black top.

Over her shoulders, Alessandra wore a stylish off-white jacket and stuffed a handkerchief in one of its pockets.

She extended her legs with black high heels and accessorised with gold jewellery and black sunglasses.

On Saturday, Alessandra was dressed to the nines with the likes of Eva Longoria and Eiza Gonzalez at the Women In Cinema Gala.

Alessandra was a sight to behold in a pale pink gown with long sleeves, a flowing skirt and a ruched, waist-cinching design.

The former Victoria’s Secret Angel again accessorised with gold hoop earrings but added dazzling diamond rings.

Cannes is the world’s biggest film festival, first conceived in 1939 as an alternative to the then-fascist-influenced Venice Film Festival.

It has been held annually since 1946 except in 1948 and 1950, when it was cancelled due to lack of funds.

The festival is known for its carefully selected programme of films that have gone on to Oscar glory or launched the careers of directors like Quentin Tarantino.

Cannes’ top prize is the Palme d’Or, or Golden Palm, whose past winners include Taxi Driver, Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, The Pianist and Parasite.

Jane Campion became the first female director to win in 1993 with The Piano, followed by a nearly three-decade gap until Julia Ducournau received the award for Titane in 2021.

Justine Triet became only the third female director to take the prize last year with Anatomy of a Fall.
