With Adriana Lima on maternity leave and Emanuela de Paula busy with other work commitments, Alessandra Ambrósio was the only official Brazilian angel on the runway at this week's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York. And in spite of the many casting lists  which were delivered to my mailbox this week with names like Flavia de Oliveira and Cintia Dicker, the final casting included only four girls from Brazil: Isabeli Fontana, Caroline Trentini, Ana Beatriz Barros, and former angel Izabel Goulart.  No surprises there, right?

The Victoria's Secret fashion show was taped in Miami last night with seven Brazilians girls on the cast: Alessandra Ambrósio, Adriana Lima, Ana Beatriz Barros, Izabel Goulart, Emanuela de Paula, Isabeli Fontana, and Flavia de Oliveira.

Apparently the rumors were true, and Izabel is no longer a full-time angel. If she gets replaced by another girl, I do hope that girl is Emanuela de Paula.

And how amazing does Alessandra look? I cannot believe she just had a baby three months ago.

The show will air on CBS on December 3rd. All pictures via The Fashion Spot.
