Alessandra Ambrosio’s Venice Style: Laser-Cut Christian Louboutin Decoupadiva Heels

Alessandra Ambrosio has long been synonymous with an effortless, sun-drenched aesthetic that blends her Brazilian roots with the casual lifestyle of Southern California. Whether she is on the clock in Europe or spending a weekend in Los Angeles, her approach to maintaining her physique and choosing her footwear remains consistently practical yet elevated.

During an interview with Self, Ambrosio noted that her fitness routine often relies on her natural environment. To maintain tone in her legs and glutes, she frequently uses the Santa Monica Stairs—a local landmark with 170 steps.

“If I look in the mirror and see cellulite—and I have some, every woman does!—I run the Santa Monica Stairs,” she shared. “I’ll go up and down the steps four to six times, usually once a week. It definitely helps the butt and legs while you’re getting a little sun and fresh air at the same time.”

Reflecting on Brazil’s beauty standards, Ambrosio emphasizes that consistency is the key to her results. Her routine is straightforward, focusing on resistance-based movements that can be done anywhere.

“Accept what you have and make the most of it. In Brazil, it’s all about the butt,” she explains. “For mine, I put 5-pound ankle weights on each leg, get on all fours and kick each heel up toward the ceiling. I do three sets of 20. Then I also do three sets of 20 fire hydrants, where you lift each bent leg up and out to the side.”

While her fitness routine is rooted in California, her public appearances often showcase more intricate European craftsmanship. At the 72nd Venice Film Festival in Italy, Ambrosio demonstrated how to transition summer textures into a sophisticated festival wardrobe.

She arrived at the event wearing a coordinated cotton macramé set by Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini, paired with a Gucci “Dionysus” blooms print shoulder bag.

The standout element of the look was her footwear: Christian Louboutin’s “Decoupadiva” heels, a striking silhouette from the Fall/Winter 2015 collection.

Designed during a season that explored the idea of “the lady as a vamp,” the pair fused romantic femininity with a sharper, more modern edge.

Defined by intricate laser-cut (découpé) detailing, the leather is sculpted into a delicate, lace-like floral pattern that creates a subtle “tattoo effect” across the foot—a key trend at the time.

The design balances structure and lightness with a peep-toe front, a sleek back-zip closure, and a towering 120mm stiletto heel, all finished with Louboutin’s signature red sole.

Within the collection, the Decoupadiva stood out as the more refined, floral counterpoint to the brand’s edgier, tech-influenced styles, offering a polished yet directional take on evening footwear.

She styled the same white lace off-the-shoulder Saylor romper with matching white heels, while Camilla Belle offered a darker, more romantic take on the silhouette—pairing the black patent-leather version of the sandals with a sheer, embroidered Monique Lhuillier gown at the Unite4:Humanity gala.
