About Miranda Kerr

Miranda May Kerr is an Australian model. She rose to prominence in 2007 as one of the Victoria's Secret Angels. Kerr was the first Australian Victoria's Secret model and also represented the Australian department store chain David Jones. She has launched her own brand of organic skincare products, KORA Organics, and has written a self-help book. Kerr was initially reluctant to leave her childhood hometown, but her first boyfriend, Christopher Middlebrook, died in a car accident when they were teenagers and she said it was too painful to stay there. At age 13, Kerr entered and won the 1997 annual Dolly magazine/Impulse model competition. Following her success with Maybelline, Kerr became the first ever Australian Victoria's Secret Angel joining models Alessandra Ambrosio, Karolína Kurková, Adriana Lima, Selita Ebanks, Izabel Goulart and Heidi Klum.
