Miranda’s Making Waves

Miranda Kerr might have been named the 10th highest paid model by Forbes this year, but we still know her as the Victoria’s Secret girl who dates Orlando Bloom and once popped up in a Pharrell video. In fact, she doesn’t even have a Style.com profile. So if her one major gig pays that much, [...]
