On 18 January 2003 Vodjanikova was crowned Miss Deutschland at the Nachtarena nightclub in Bielefeld.[2] During her interview she named Saddam Hussein as the politician she would most like to meet.[1] Weeks later she flew to Baghdad with her manager on a peace mission organized by German anti-war groups. A meeting with the Iraqi president did not take place, but she visited the ruins of Babylon and met his son Uday Hussein.[3] Later that year, still competing under her birth name, she represented Germany at Miss Universe 2003 in Panama City, reached the semi-finals at Miss Europe and took part in Miss International.[4][5]
Later Vodjanikova worked as a model under the name Alessandra Alores, signing with Wilhelmina and IMG Models in New York. In January 2008 she won the Top Model of the World final in Hurghada, Egypt.[6][7] On 6 September 2009 she was crowned Miss World Deutschland in Moers but was later disqualified by the Miss World Organisation due to unauthorized photo shoots and replaced by Stefanie Peeck.[8][9]
