It looked like she had spent a long time at the hairdresser, weaving a pretty chain of pink flowers into her long brown braid.
But it was doubtful that many partygoers would have paid too much attention to Alessandra Ambrosio's striking headdress at the Vogue Carnival party on Thursday night.
The 32-year-old Victoria's Secret model showed off her stunning figure to maximum effect in an extremely plunging bright pink Roberto Cavalli gown slit to the upper thigh.
The sweeping floor length number only just protected the star's modesty and was teamed with strappy silver sandals and matching clutch.
Alessandra was in high spirits, returning to her native Brazil for the themed 'Tropical Couture' party at the Hotel Unique in Sao Paulo. The model is the cover star of the March issue of Vogue Brazil.
It is carnival season in Brazil, with the famous Rio de Janeiro festivities beginning on February 28.
Alessandra has been making the most out of her trip - the previous evening she spent time promoting new magazine Bobstore in Sao Paulo, for which she is the cover star of the first issue.
The model arrived at the exclusive launch wearing a little black dress with a cut-out back and dipped-hem, on Wednesday evening.
As she arrived, Alessandra was swamped by a throng of fans who were screaming her name, trying to attract her attention.
The star was very careful to get out of her chauffeur-driven car with her dignity intact, holding down the hem of her little black dress with one hand and carrying her clutch bag with the other.
The mother-of-two signed autographs and spoke to as many fans as possible before going into the special event.
Posing for pictures in a sea of flashbulbs, the model tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and put one leg in front of the other.
Her already long legs were elongated further with the help of a pair of strappy purple heels.
The model looks like she was enjoying time back in her home country - she now lives in Los Angeles with her fiancé of five years Jamie Mazu and their two children Anja, five, and son Noah, 18 months.
