About
Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr (born 20 April 1983) is best known for turning the runway spotlight into a launchpad for an ever-growing wellness empire. After rising to global fame as one of the signature Victoria’s Secret Angels from 2007, she parlayed her catwalk credibility into business success by founding KORA Organics, a certified-organic skin-care line she launched in 2009 and still runs as CEO today. The brand’s “clean beauty” focus echoes Kerr’s lifelong interest in holistic health and has expanded to more than 30 regions worldwide, winning numerous industry awards along the way. Beyond fashion and beauty, she has published two self-help books, designed homewares and jewellery collections, and routinely supports children’s hospitals and environmental causes. In short, Kerr has evolved from cover-girl to multi-hyphenate entrepreneur while keeping an approachable, down-to-earth image.
Before Fame
Kerr grew up in the small farming town of Gunnedah, New South Wales, racing motorbikes with her cousins and climbing fruit trees after school. That country upbringing seeded her love of nature and the organic lifestyle she would later champion. At just 13 she entered—and won—the nationwide Dolly magazine/Impulse Model Search in 1997. The victory whisked her to Sydney for her first photo shoot, sparking headlines about the use of teenage models but also opening doors to surf-label campaigns for Billabong and Roxy. After brief stints in Japan and Paris, she moved to New York City in her early twenties, signed with Next Management, and quickly booked runway work for labels such as Baby Phat and Roberto Cavalli. A Maybelline New York cosmetics contract soon followed, cementing her status as a fresh face in international fashion.
Trivia
- First Australian Angel: When Kerr earned her Victoria’s Secret wings in 2007 she became the lingerie giant’s first Australian Angel, joining a line-up that already included Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio.
- Author and optimist: She self-funded, wrote, and illustrated the 2010 self-help bestseller Treasure Yourself, later translated into a dozen languages. A follow-up, Empower Yourself, arrived in 2013.
- Wellness devotee: Kerr swears by meditation, noni juice, and crystal-infused water, habits she credits for balancing the jet-set modelling schedule that once had her walking more than 40 shows a season.
- Music-video cameo: Pharrell Williams enlisted her (alongside several fellow Angels) for the clip to “Number One,” proving she could hold her own outside the pages of glossy magazines.
- Interior designer at heart: In recent years she has turned that creative streak toward furniture, launching the Miranda Kerr Home line and personally overseeing renovations of her family’s Holmby Hills residence.
Family Life
Family sits at the centre of Kerr’s world. She married British actor Orlando Bloom in 2010, and their son Flynn was born the following January. The pair divorced amicably in 2013 and share co-parenting duties. In 2014 Kerr crossed paths with Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel at a Louis Vuitton event. Friendship blossomed into romance, and the couple wed in an intimate ceremony at their Los Angeles home on 27 May 2017.
Together they have welcomed three boys: Hart (born 2018), Myles (2019) and Pierre (February 2024). Kerr announced Pierre’s arrival on Snapchat, describing him as “our little ray of sunshine.” Raising four sons keeps the household lively, yet she insists on nightly family dinners, screen-free play in the garden and weekend hikes around their property. She often says motherhood is her “greatest joy” and credits the boys for keeping her grounded amid business expansions and red-carpet obligations.

Professionally, Kerr has shared runways and photo sets with fellow Angels Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel and Gisele Bündchen, often citing their camaraderie as a highlight of fashion month. Maybelline campaigns paired her with model Erin Wasson, while her Dior Haute Couture wedding gown forged a creative partnership with designer Maria Grazia Chiuri and Vogue photographers Patrick Demarchelier and Patrick Shanahan. As an entrepreneur she frequently appears alongside her husband at tech and philanthropy events, bridging the worlds of beauty and Silicon Valley. And through KORA Organics she collaborates with retailers like Sephora and wellness advocates such as nutritionist Dr Jolene Brighten, expanding her circle far beyond fashion alone.
