Alessandra has had some small appearances acting alongside her father and siblings inJust the TicketandThe Lost City, but she is best known for being a successful curve model signed to IMG Models.
“Modeling has been an incredible way to be proud of my body,” Alessandra previously told PEOPLE in a statement about her plus-size campaign with British magazine SLiNK.
The model has also opened up about the diversity and representation within the industry — in particular, runway castings.
“It all sounds really great to diversify the runway and I think that is what the future will be, but it’s tiring,” she said during a 2018 interview withW Magazine. “It’s hard work to persevere through the judgments and the eyes. I’ve been on castings before where people are looking at you, and you’re like, ‘Okay, am I a spectacle here?’ ”
