Miranda Kerr
Born April 20, 1983
Miranda Kerr is an Australian supermodel and entrepreneur who became a global household name as one of Victoria's Secret's most celebrated Angels and later launched KORA Organics, a certified-organic skincare line that turned her passion for natural wellness into a major business.
From the Australian Outback to the Runway
Born on April 20, 1983, in Sydney, Australia, Kerr grew up in Gunnedah, a small town in rural New South Wales. At thirteen she entered and won a national model search competition run by Dolly magazine and Impulse, sparking a career that would take her around the world. After finishing high school she moved to Sydney, then to New York and London, quickly booking editorial work for top fashion magazines and establishing herself as a sought-after print and runway model.
In 2007 Kerr became the first Australian model ever to be named a Victoria's Secret Angel, the industry's most coveted brand ambassador designation. She walked in nine consecutive Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows and appeared in countless global ad campaigns for brands including David Jones, Reebok, and Levi's. Her natural expressions of warmth and health-focused lifestyle gave her a distinct public persona that set her apart in the often distant world of haute couture.
KORA Organics and Business Success
Kerr founded KORA Organics in 2009, drawing on her lifelong commitment to natural, organic living. The brand — built around certified-organic ingredients and sustainable packaging — grew steadily into a multi-million-dollar international company, sold in markets across North America, Australia, Asia, and Europe. KORA became a pioneering example of a model successfully crossing into the beauty entrepreneur space long before the trend became common.
Her business acumen earned respect beyond the fashion industry. She studied nutrition and health coaching alongside her modeling work and incorporated those studies directly into the KORA product philosophy. The brand received Certified Organic accreditation, a distinction that required rigorous third-party validation and reflected the genuine values behind its founding rather than marketing superficiality.
Did You Know?
Miranda Kerr has practiced Transcendental Meditation since her teens and credits the technique — taught to her by her grandmother — as the foundation of her wellness-focused lifestyle and the philosophy behind KORA Organics.
Personal Life and Continued Influence
Kerr was previously married to actor Orlando Bloom, with whom she has a son, Flynn, born in 2011. She married Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel in 2017; the couple have two sons together. She has written several books on wellness and organic living, including Treasure Yourself , which became a bestseller in Australia. Her dual career as both a world-class model and a serious entrepreneur continues to expand, making her one of the most commercially successful figures to emerge from the modeling industry.
