Miranda May Kerr was born in Sydney and raised in the small
town of Gunnedah to John and Therese Kerr. Kerr's paternal grandmother lived on
a farm, where she "raced motorbikes and rode horses." Her parents
later moved the family to Brisbane when she and her younger brother Matthew
were teenagers. She originally aspired to become a nutritionist and later
studied nutrition and health psychology after her high school graduation, but
entered a magazine contest shortly before her fourteenth birthday. Kerr attended
All Hallows' School, where she graduated in 2000.
Miranda Kerr moved to New York in 2004. Kerr had a number of
runway appearances before signing with Next model agency the same year. Soon after
that she could be seen in ad campaigns and runway shows for such labels as Baby
Phat, Lisa Ho, Voodoo Dolls, Levi’s, Bettina Liano, Nicola Finetti, L.A.M.B.,
Heatherette, Betsey Johnson, Trelise Cooper, Jets, John Richmond, Blumarine
Swimwear, Neiman Marcus, Seafolly Swimwear, Anna Molinari, Rock and Republic
and Roberto Cavalli. Miranda was also featured in such magazines as Elle, Australian Vogue, Madison
and Harpers Bazaar, as well as TV
adverts for Portmans, Bonds and Veet. “At this stage, I’m really enjoying where
I’m at doing the modelling but if an opportunity came up, I would definitely
look into it,” she said.
Miranda Kerr began her professional modeling career after
winning a 1997 contest for the teen girl magazine Dolly in Australia. Miranda
Kerr was a skinny 13-year-old at the time, and her win added to the ongoing
debate over what's age-appropriate in fashion; the dust-up helped boost Kerr's
career and she has since modeled for designers, magazines and catalogs. A
multi-racial and dimpled brunette, Miranda Kerr gained a higher profile in 2006
when she signed a deal to promote Maybelline cosmetics and was picked to model
lingerie for Victoria's Secret. She married the actor Orlando Bloom in July of
2010; they had a son, Flynn, on 6 January 2011.
