Miranda Kerr was described as having an Audrey Hepburn look as well as being linked to the current 'baby doll alien' looks, similar to Gemma Ward and Lily Cole. Her success as a model has been phenomenal and as a result she now appears at high profile fashion shows, while also gaining immense coverage in various campaigns.

Miranda Kerr's modeling career started in her early teens. She fortunately 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.

She is presently modeling for Victoria's Secret and was the first ever Australian model to appear in a Victoria's Secret runway show. Her babe status was reinforced when she appeared in the Pharrell and Kanye West music video for the hit song "Number One". She also made a small-screen appearance in the comedy How I Met Your Mother, and ranked at No. 19 on AskMen.com's list of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2008.

In addition to her gorgeous looks and sultry demeanor, Miranda Kerr reportedly breaks the supermodel stereotype by being quite friendly.
