Supermodel Miranda Kerr embraced the festive season with full force this week, sharing a series of playful holiday photos while also revealing an unexpected new career ambition.
December Energy in a Chic Velvet Dress
On Tuesday, the 42-year-old Australian model was brimming with Christmas cheer. She posted a trio of festive images to social media, captioning the set with the simple phrase 'December energy.'
Miranda cut a strikingly chic figure in a skin-tight, long-sleeved black velvet mini dress. The classic little black dress perfectly showcased her supermodel legs. She posed barefoot for the shoot, allowing her brunette hair to cascade freely over her shoulders.
Accessories were kept to a minimum, with the model finishing her timeless look with a pair of black sunglasses. Adding a touch of whimsical fun to the scene was a large wooden Nutcracker doll, which she happily posed alongside. In one particularly playful shot, Miranda blew a kiss to the camera while resting a hand on the Christmas decoration's head.
A Dream Role: From Catwalk to Weather Forecast
In a surprising turn, Miranda recently fulfilled a long-held personal dream. Earlier this month, the former Victoria's Secret Angel made a guest appearance on the Los Angeles morning programme Good Day LA on Fox 11 as a weather presenter.
Meteorologist Maria Quiban introduced her via a breaking news alert, saying, "We like to fulfill people's dreams here, so Miranda's always had a dream to be a weather presenter." An excited Miranda confirmed, "Yes, I have! Thank you for making my dream come true."
She took to the role with remarkable ease, expertly informing viewers about a cold front and potential storm. "It's cold this morning so make sure you get your jumper, as we say in Australia," she advised Angelenos. Her presentation was so polished that Maria Quiban declared, "You're hired," after a hearty round of applause from the cast and crew.
On Family and the Future
Entertainment reporter Amanda Salas joked about Miranda's bright future in meteorology, prompting the model to quip about her sunglasses. Away from her new broadcasting venture, Miranda also recently spoke candidly about her family dynamic.
Speaking on KIIS FM's Kyle and Jackie O Show in September, she addressed the split between her ex-husband, actor Orlando Bloom, and singer Katy Perry. Miranda confirmed the separation was amicable, revealing she had just seen them both at a birthday party for their daughter, Daisy.
"We're one big, happy family," she stated. "Katy is amazing, I love her. And Orlando obviously." This insight shows a remarkably positive and modern co-parenting relationship between all involved.
