The Beauty Evolution of Miranda Kerr: From Fresh Face to Industry Icon
Miranda Kerr took #hairgoals to the next level when she chopped her famous highlighted strands into a chic, curled bob earlier this year — but it’s hardly the first time the model has changed her appearance. Since rising to the top as a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 2007, the Aussie stunner has taken her tresses from brown to blonde (and back again), given us a major lesson in how to rock a red lip, and solidified her status as a beauty icon with her very own organic skincare line, Kora Organics.
Click through to see how the star’s style has evolved over the years — you might want to take notes.

Miranda has been modeling since she was 13 years old, but her rise to international superstardom kicked into overdrive in 2004 when she signed with Next in New York. Just one year later, she showed off her star power at a gala in New York with glowing skin, rosy cheeks, and pin-straight brown hair. Aussie beauty at its best!

A newly minted Angel, Miranda stunned at the 2007 Victoria’s Secret Fashion show with bronzed skin, nude lips, and the perfect subtle smoky eye. A little shimmery white shadow in the corners of her eyes brightened up her look even more.

If you thought Miranda was finished experimenting with her hair, think again. For a Victoria’s Secret party in 2011, the Angel made waves with a darker ‘do, toughened up by peach blush and kohl-lined eyes.

No one rocks a red lip quite like Miranda. A deep side part, bouncy curls, and mascara kept the focus on this vermillion hue.

By 2014, Miranda wasn’t just walking runway shows — she was sitting front row at them, too! Making an appearance at Paris Fashion Week, the model could have been mistaken for an Old Hollywood icon with this sleek bun and coral lipstick look.

The star showed off yet another red lip at the 2016 Vanity Fair Oscar Party — this time paired with her instantly iconic bob. If this doesn’t make you even consider going shorter, we don’t know what will.
