On October 6, 2012, Alessandra Ambrosio attended the third annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic at Will Rogers State Historic Park in Pacific Palisades, California.
Even years later, her choice of attire remains a reference point for outdoor event dressing, balancing the relaxed atmosphere of a polo match with the polished expectations of a red carpet.

She arrived in a color-blocked BCBGMAXAZRIA maxi dress, a piece that captured the breezy, floor-length aesthetic popular in the early 2010s.

By keeping her hair in natural waves and opting for minimal jewelry—save for a single gold watch—she ensured the gown’s vibrant panels remained the focal point.

The gold-embellished, looped, braided leather belt was an integrated part of the gown, adding texture to the pleated chiffon.
Though her heels were mostly hidden beneath the floor-skimming hem, candid arrival shots reveal Alessandra Ambrosio opted for cork or wood-textured wedge heels—a practical yet polished choice for the grassy grounds at Will Rogers State Historic Park.
The silhouette not only prevented her from sinking into the turf but also subtly elongated her 5-foot-8½-inch (174 cm) frame, making it a smart styling move for an outdoor polo setting.
