Miranda Kerr is an Australian born Victoria's Secret model who has appeared on the covers of several major magazines, including Elle, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Rolling Stone. Kerr is married to Orlando Bloom.http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20404484,00.html As the first Australian Victorian Secret Angel, Kerr has risen rapidly in the modeling industry to become one of the most well-known and bankable models globally. Kerr's yearly endorsements regularly rank in the millions of dollars; and within the roster of Victoria's Secret models, Kerr is recognizable as a prominent member.

Kerr's outreach extends beyond Europe and the Americas, as her Australian heritage and upbringing have long made her a popular figure in Asian and Australian markets. The PINK line of Victoria's Secret in particular has risen greatly in popularity since Kerr joined the company; Kerr was the leading model and representative of PINK since 2006.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofKYtUqOmqw

Born on April 20th, 1983, in Sydney, Australia, Kerr's stunning model looks- according to Kerr herself- are descended from English, Scottish, and French heritage.http://web.archive.org/web/20071012183348/http://portmanscomau.ozstaging.com/wordpress/?page_id=2 Though she was born in Sydney, Kerr resided for the majority of her childhood in rural Gunnedah, New South Wales. Kerr described her youthful life as being carefree and "grounding", where she would "race motorbikes and ride horses" on her grandmother's farm, among other outback activities. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/story/0,22049,22730119-5006011,00.html Eventually, Kerr's parents would move her and her brother to Brisbane, where she encountered more of a city atmosphere. Graduating from All Hallow's School, Kerr initially intended to pursue a career in nutrition before going into modeling.http://www.stardoll.com/en/dolls/791/Miranda_Kerr.html

Kerr began modeling at an early age, posing for Dolly magazine at the age of 13, to the concern and trepidation of several in the Australian press. http://www.victoriassecretreviews.com/miranda-kerr/ Unperturbed, Kerr continued to model and dismissed the criticism directed at her youthful appearance and her early entrance into the modeling industry. Gaining more recognition and fame by posing in numerous beachwear and swimsuit advertisements, most prominently by doing work for Australian apparel company Billabong, Kerr became well-known in Australian and Asian markets. This prompted her relocation to New York, where she would make many runway appearances and sign with Next model agency in 2004. http://onethousandmodels.com/mirandakerr/mirandakerr.html

Kerr's big break in the American modeling industry came in 2006, when she signed a contract with Maybelline New York, where she appeared in a multitude of women's beauty magazines, such as Cosmopolitan and Elle. http://www.glamourvanity.com/miranda-kerr/ Her success and immense exposure grabbed the attention of Victoria's Secret. Since the company traditionally selected glamor models from Europe, South America, and North America, when Kerr was offered and accepted a position as a Victoria's Secret Angel in 2007, she became the first Australian model to do so, in the process replacing the supermodel Gisele Bundchen. http://www.glamourvanity.com/miranda-kerr/ In addition, Kerr had already been chosen in 2006 as the new face of the prominent PINK fashion line, in place of previous model Alessandra Ambrosio. Kerr's outreach now expanded to four continents, as she appeared in every yearly Victoria's Secret Runway Show since 2006, which were aired globally. Kerr has since appeared in nearly every major fashion and modeling magazine; with $3.5 million in endorsements in 2008 alone, Forbes magazine places her as one of the top ten earning models in the world for that year. http://www.forbes.com/2008/04/30/models-bundchen-klum-biz-media-cz_kb_0430topmodels_slide_20.html?thisSpeed=30000
