Victoria's Secret Angel, 45, hits Bali in a barely-there bikini

Alessandra Ambrosio has proved she's still every inch a Victoria's Secret Angel, hitting the beaches of Bali in a thong bikini at 45.

The Brazilian supermodel sipped from a fresh coconut and posed on the sand in the tiny two-piece, according to TMZ, which dubbed her a "coconut babe". She made sure her followers saw every moment, sharing days of beaches and coconut water, Brazil's Diário do Pará reported.

"Uluwatu, with salt still in my hair 🌴☀️🐒," she wrote on Instagram on Nov. 3.

A day later she was back with a video from the same stretch of coast, and a caption that summed up the holiday: "Plans depend on the tide 🌊 #uluwatu life 🐒🌴."

It's her second trip to Indonesia this year. In April she shared an album from the islands featuring Palmer and her 14-year-old son, Protothema reported.

Not travelling alone

Ambrosio isn't soaking up the sun solo. Her fiancé, Buck Palmer, is with her, and TMZ spotted a smoochin' selfie among the snaps.

The couple have been on what the site called a "worldwide love tour" since he popped the question.

And Indonesia is a special place for them. Palmer proposed on the beach at a luxury resort on the island of Sumba, southwest of Bali, with the couple surrounded by a heart of rose petals in the sand, Yahoo reported in August. She broke the news to fans in a series of romantic photos.

"I would choose you in this life and every life. Forever, my love," Ambrosio wrote when she shared the news.

The pair even showed off matching heart-shaped tattoos near their wrists in the engagement photos.

Second time lucky

Palmer is an Australian jewelry designer, and he has a Victoria's Secret connection of his own. He was married to Ashley Hart, the sister of former Angel Jessica Hart, from 2015 to 2017.

There's a twist, too. His brand describes itself as "an expression of a nonconformist lifestyle that will never be tied down". Its founder, it turns out, is happy to be.

He and Ambrosio were first linked in January 2025, when they were spotted on holiday together in Rio de Janeiro. Palmer had already hinted at the romance in an Instagram post looking back on 2024.

For Ambrosio, it's a second engagement. She was engaged to businessman Jamie Mazur in 2008, and the couple were together for more than a decade without ever marrying before they split in 2018.

The Bali trip comes just weeks after she was back where she made her name. Ambrosio walked the runway at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles on Oct. 18.

Neither she nor Palmer has announced a wedding date. On this evidence, they're in no hurry to leave the beach.
