Miranda Kerr

Model

Born: February 1983
Birthplace: Sydney, Australia
Best known as: Dimpled Australian fashion model
Australian Miranda Kerr began her professional modeling career after winning a 1997 contest for the teen girl magazine Dolly. She 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 modelled for designers, magazines and catalogs. A multi-racial and dimpled brunette, 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.
Extra credit: According to Chic Management, Kerr is 5'9" tall... Some sources list her birthday as 20 February, some as 23 February... Kerr was born in Sydney but raised in the smaller town of Gunnedah, Australia... Kerr played a pretty girl in the video for the song "Number One" by Pharrell and Kanye West.
