In addition to being a Victoria's Secret Angel, Miranda Kerr has appeared on the pages of some of the most well-known fashion magazines in the world, solidifying her reputation as one of the hottest models in the industry.
Born in Sydney and raised in Brisbane, Australia, Miranda Kerr kick-started her modeling career in her early teens. Spurred on by the encouragement of her family and friends, Miranda fortuitously decided to enter the Dolly/Impulse Modeling Competition in 1997 when she was just 13 years old. She shocked everyone, including herself, when she won the competition, but she was completely surprised by the backlash that immediately followed her appearance in the Australian teen magazine Dolly.
The media quickly turned Miranda Kerr’s winter-clothing pictorial into a debate regarding pedophilia and the acceptable age at which girls should start modeling. Nonetheless, Miranda gracefully handled the controversy and parlayed her newfound notoriety into a burgeoning career.
