Born in Sydney, Australia, hot and sexy Miranda began her modeling career at age 13 when she won the 1997 Australian nationwide model search.

Following her success with Maybelline, hot and sexy Miranda became the first Australian model to be offered a contract with Victoria's Secret in 2007, replacing Gisele Bündchen. Being the first ever Australian Victoria's Secret Angel, her popularity continued to increase that she also signed on as the face of Californian fashion retailer Arden B and became the new face of Clinique Happy.
