Alessandra Ambrosio is drop-dead gorgeous in backless asymmetrical dress at the CFDA Fashion Awards

The Oscars for fashion have arrived, and this Victoria's Secret angel knows how to make a statement.

Alessandra Ambrosio wore a jaw-dropping purple gown at the CFDA Fashion Awards Monday evening, which accentuated her tall, lean, and sexy body.

The model donned a form-fitting sequined Michael Kors dress, which was one-shoulder, flaunting her toned arms.

The Brazilian beauty, who is known for wowing on the carpet, opted for another Michael Kors dress. It appears the designer knows how to make her stand out as the model stunned at the Cannes Film Festival last month in another one of his gowns.

Ambrosio popped a bit of leg out of her thigh-high dress, which flaunted her toned calf and slender foot.

Her hair fit perfectly with the look as she opted for straight and slick, pulled back over her shoulders, and parted down the middle. Her jewelry was kept minimal as she wore a simple silver ring with a thick band and matching-colored teardrop-shaped earrings that framed her face.

That calf, though! The Victoria's Secret model had quite the toned leg to show off at the CFDA Fashion awards

Alessandra was joined by other high-profile models and actors at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York.
