Miranda May Kerr (born 20 April 1983) is an Australian
model. Kerr rose to prominence in 2007 as one of the Victoria's Secret Angels.
She is the first Australian to participate in the Victoria's Secret campaign
and also represents Australian fashion chain David Jones.
Kerr began modeling in the fashion industry when she was
13, starting at Chaay's Modelling Agency, and soon after winning a 1997
Australian nationwide model search hosted by Dolly magazine and Impulse
fragrances. She is married to English actor Orlando Bloom.
Early life and family
Kerr was born in Sydney and raised in the small town of
Gunnedah, New South Wales. She is the daughter of Therese and John Kerr. She
has a brother, Matthew, who is two years younger. In an interview, Kerr stated
she is of English, French, and Scottish descent. During her childhood, Kerr
"raced motorbikes and rode horses on her grandmother's farm." She
describes her early life in the Australian countryside as "very grounding
... there wasn't any pretentiousness and no one really cared what you were wearing.
You could just be you."
Her family moved to Brisbane to allow Kerr and her
brother to experience city life. She graduated from All Hallows' School in
2000. Kerr studied nutrition and health psychology before pursuing modeling.
Career
At age 13, Kerr entered and won the 1997 annual Dolly
Magazine/Impulse Model Competition. She was flown to Sydney a week before her
14th birthday to shoot for the magazine. Upon Kerr's win, local media expressed
"concerned outrage" at her young age. The controversy raised concerns
about the glorification of young girls within the fashion, beauty, and
entertainment industries. Some media outlets claimed her Dolly shoot (including
images of a 14-year-old Kerr in bathing suits) constituted a form of
paedophilia. Of the press, Kerr said: "In the media at the time they were
trying to cling on to anything remotely to do with paedophilia. Dolly is a
magazine for teenage girls, not for old men. And I was fully clothed! Doing a
winter shoot! They just made something out of nothing."
Kerr signed to Chic Management's Sydney division. She
received considerable commercial exposure after a series of beachwear ads
predominantly for Australian surf chain Billabong, in which Kerr modeled surf
brands Tigerlily, Roxy, Billabong Girls, and One Teaspoon. This increased her
profile in the Australian and Asian markets, after which Kerr relocated to New
York where she became co-owner of the Bowery Ballroom.
In New York, Kerr had a multitude of runway appearances
and then signed with NEXT Model Management in early 2004. From there, she was
booked for runway and print campaigns for major labels, including Alex Perry,
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, Roberto Cavalli, and Ober Jeans.[2] Kerr was also booked for print in
magazines such as Elle, Australian Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, and was featured
in television advertisements for brands like Portmans, Bonds, and Veet.
In early 2006, Kerr appeared in the finale episode of the
TV show Project Runway, modeling clothes for contestant Daniel Vosovic's final
collection. She was the first woman to walk down the catwalk. She debuted with
the United States market when she signed a lucrative cosmetics contract with
Maybelline New York. The campaign ran in a series of internationally sold
women's beauty magazines, including Cosmopolitan, CLEO, and Elle, and was
eventually featured in Victoria's Secret catalogues. Along with several other
Victoria's Secret and Next agency models, Kerr was also featured in a music
video for the American hip-hop single "Number One" by artists Kanye
West and Pharrell.
She appeared in the 2010 Pirelli Calendar photographed by
Terry Richardson in Bahia, Brazil. Previously better known for her Victoria's
Secret status rather than her high fashion work, Balenciaga is credited for
launching her high fashion modeling career when casting directors Ashley Brokaw
and Nicolas Ghesquière chose her to walk exclusively for the brand's spring
2010 runway show. It was her first designer fashion show, aside from Victoria's
Secret, since 2007. A season later she walked for design company Prada for
their Fall 2010 collection in Milan alongside fellow Angels Doutzen Kroes and
Alessandra Ambrosio. Kerr then modeled for campaigns for Prada and Jil Sander,
and was shot by Steven Meisel for the cover of Italian Vogue for September.
In January 2011, Kerr became the first pregnant model for
Vogue when featured in Vogue Australia, being six months pregnant at the time
of the shoot. In March she hit the catwalk for Balenciaga's Fall 2011
Ready-to-Wear collection as part of Paris Fashion Week, two months after giving
birth. Kerr also posed nude for a 2011 Harper's Bazaar photo shoot. In October
at Paris Fashion Week SS12 she walked the runway for Christian Dior, Lanvin,
Chanel, John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Viktor & Rolf and Loewe. Kerr was
chosen to present the $2.5 million Victoria's Secret Fantasy Treasure Bra for
their fashion show in November 2011.
In January 2012, she was named ambassador for Qantas. In
June, Kerr signed a contract to represent Samantha Thavasa, promoting the
brand's "Malissa" bag. In November, she was named the new face of
high street brand Mango, replacing Kate Moss for its spring/summer 2013
campaign.
Personal life
Kerr practices Nichiren Buddhism and believes "we
have a responsibility to bring peace and harmony to our lives and the
world." As part of her Nichiren beliefs, Kerr reportedly chants every
morning and night for 20 minutes, practices yoga, meditates, and reads widely
on spirituality. She maintains her physique through daily yoga, light jogging,
and a diet of steamed vegetables, fresh fruit, and fish. Kerr's mother Therese
has been the General Manager of KORA Organics since February 2010. The company
is based in Sydney. Kerr's brother Matt also works for the company.
In 2003, Kerr began dating finance broker Adrian
Camilleri. Following an Australian Securities and Investments Commission
investigation, Camilleri was found guilty on five counts of fraudulent
behaviour from February 2003 to February 2004. Kerr subsequently ended the
relationship. A 2007 newspaper report claims that Kerr suffered financially
"after taking her boyfriend's financial advice" but chose not to take
legal action.
She formerly dated Jay Lyon (Brent Tuhtan), the lead
singer of the band Tamarama, who has made appearances on season one of the MTV
series The City. Kerr starred in Tamarama's video clip for "Everything To
Me". The two began dating in 2003 and had a four year relationship, which
ended on mutual terms in mid-2007.
Kerr began dating actor Orlando Bloom in late 2007. He is
also an SGI member. On 12 February 2009, Kerr and Bloom participated in the
"Australia Unites" fundraiser to raise money for the victims of the
Australian bushfires on 7 February 2009. In 2009, the Bling Ring broke into
Bloom's home. The group stole luxury brand clothing and jewelry. In this case,
the ringleader allegedly wanted Kerr's Victoria's Secret lingerie. The couple's
engagement was announced on 21 June 2010. Kerr released a statement on 22 July
2010, confirming that she and Bloom had married in "an intimate
ceremony." In 2011, Kerr gave birth to their first child, a son named
Flynn Christopher Blanchard Copeland Bloom. The middle name Christopher comes
from Kerr's ex-boyfriend, Christopher Middlebrook who died in a car accident in
1998 when they were 15. The two were still dating at the time.
Kerr told readers of Australian Cosmopolitan
that coconut oil was the key to her clear skin, shiny hair and trim figure,
saying she ingests four tablespoons a day, either on salads, in her cooking or
in her cups of green tea.
