Brazilian and breathtakingly beautiful, Alessandra Ambrosio certainly knows a thing or two about swimsuit season. 

So when we had the chance to chat with her this week while promoting the new Victoria's Secret swimwear collection in Los Angeles, we had to ask her advice for channeling your inner bombshell! 

After all, whether she's posing in the latest lingerie campaign or simply flaunting her enviable figure off-duty, the flawless model always manages to looking glowing and gorgeous. 

Here's what she told us:

1. Stay Hydrated: "In Brazil, we love to stay hydrated all of the time. We drink a lot of coconut water," she said.

2. Take Care of Your Skin: "Always make sure it's moisturized and never dry," she advised, recommending the new Beach Sexy collection from Victoria's Secret. "Don't forget to put some shimmer on the skin, and even your hair, for that bombshell look when you're in the sun!"

3. Suit Up: "Find the perfect bathing suit for your body shape—everyone is different," she told us. As for Ambrosio, the Brazilian beauty is particularly wild about the brand's new Very Sexy push-up bandeau style for just the right amount of oomph when it comes to accentuating her assets. "It's very glamorous and inspired by old Hollywood. Plus, it comes in tons of colors and prints." 

Who's ready for summer?
