Why Blowouts and Blazers Are a Perfect Match: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Miranda Kerr, and More

While even off-duty staples like bedhead and sneakers have become office-friendly thanks to the rise of the street style star, it seems the fashion set is now taking cues from the professional crowd with the ultimate beauty power move: sleek blowouts that feel as sharp as a tailored blazer.

And now that even certified bombshells like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley are sidelining SoCal waves for a silky salon blow-dry, it looks like we’re in for an elegant spring. Miranda Kerr also opted for an on-the-clock hairstyle yesterday, touching down in Tokyo with a crisp, poker-straight bob. Not that the look can’t feel a tad lived-in: Sarah Jessica Parker paired a tuxedo jacket with smooth strands that had just the right amount of round-brush bend to satisfy your inner bohemian.

Above, three power blowouts that mean business.

Miranda Kerr Wants to Know If You Think Her Butt Looks Big in This Louis Vuitton Dress


It's official, you guys: Snapchat is the place where everyone's getting seriously candid — especially your favorite stars. Supermodel Miranda Kerr recorded herself prancing around in front of the mirror, wearing the Spring '16 Louis Vuitton dress she was about to debut at the sixth biennial UNICEF Ball.
She turned to the side, showing off her metallic mini that featured a poufy skirt, and asked her followers a very important question: "Does my butt look big in this dress?" That's something we might ask our BFF in a direct snap, but Ms. Kerr was bold enough to add the video to her story, then she uploaded it to Instagram, too!

We probably don't have to tell you that Miranda worked her edgy, grommet-adorned number with ease on the red carpet, alongside the likes of Selena Gomez, who also stunned in an LV design. But read on to take in Miranda's dress anyway, from every single angle. Plus, don't forget to watch her video and weigh in on her booty reservations.

MIRANDA Kerr has touched down in Sydney just in time for the festive season, arriving from Tokyo to spend Christmas with her family on their Gunnedah property.

The 32-year-old flew solo into Kingsford Smith, where she was reunited with her four-year-old son, Flynn, who arrived from Kerr's Los Angeles base.

The face of Swarovski had previously said that she would be joined her boyfriend Evan Spigel in Australia for Christmas, but there was no sign of the Snapchat founder on Tuesday morning.

Kerr, who was married to actor Orlando Bloom and romantically linked to James Packer, has been dating 25-year-old Snapchat billionaire Evan Spiegel.

“He’s just a really kind person ... And very authentic and I really appreciate that about him. And also he’s very intelligent,” she told E! News earlier this year.

“Come by and say hi!” she tipped off her fans via an Instagram video.

Wearing a floral high-split maxi-dress, Kerr stunned the arrivals terminal with her boy clutching her hand.

Kerr has previously been linked to James Packer and was previously married to Pirates Of The Carribean star Orlando Bloom, who is the father of Flynn.

The pair were married for three years.

She is now dating Spiegel, who is estimated to be worth $2.1 billion.
The Kerr clan will head to their Gunnedah property for Christmas.

Miranda Kerr shows off the longest legs in France at Paris Fashion Week

Miranda Kerr is known for her slim figure and long legs but at Paris Fashion Week her pins seemed to go on forever.

The ex of Orlando Bloom wore a short leather gladiator style skirt, colourful blouse and green leather jacket.

She matched the skirt with black ankle boots and a printed clutch bag.

Her outfit was from the the Louis Vuitton Resort 2016 range.

Stars like Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne were also on the catwalk in the French capital.

Miranda's ex, Hollywood hunk Orlando Bloom is reportedly dating her fellow supermodel Kendall Jenner .

The two stars were linked earlier this year, after the Pirates of the Caribbean star met the 19-year-old and her mother Kris Jenner at a Hollywood bash this summer.

Now it’s been reported that the 38-year-old hunk has met up with the model three times since they first met in July.

Miranda may have a figure that most women would kill for, but she's not just a pretty face.
Big-hearted Miranda has helped two elephants walk again.
 
The Australian beauty donated a jumbo-sized US$100,000 last year to elephants who have suffered horrendous injuries by stepping on land mines.

And now her generosity has enabled Friends of the Asian Elephant (FAE), based in Lampang, Thailand, to fund custom made replacement limbs for the stricken mammals.


 
Images show the caring members of staff applying the moulds to two elephants called Motala and Mosha.

These are then shipped back to Chantilly, Virginia-based Animal Orthocare who fashion the limbs to snugly fit the patients.

Elephants brought to the hospital have often been poorly treated by owners or have injuries through incidents including treading on land mines.

Soraida Salwala, Founder and Secretary General of the Friends of the Asian Elephant (FAE), said: "When I thanked her, Miss Kerr said she appreciated what my foundation was doing and she was happy to know about FAE and happy to help our good cause."

Miranda Kerr explains why she's single: 'I'm trying to find that comfort within myself'

The 31-year-old model wants to set the record straight that she is currently not seeing anyone two years after splitting from ex Orlando Bloom.

Miranda Kerr is choosing herself first.

The 31-year-old sexy model graced the March covers of Australia's Harper's Bazaar and divulged details on why she is living life as a single gal.

"For the record, I'm single. What I'm trying to do right now, as I've always been the girl with the boyfriend, is to find that comfort within myself," the brunette beauty told the mag.

"Because it's quite easy to always look to other people to lift us up or make us feel better about ourselves," she continued.

"At the end of the day, it's really important to be comfortable with your own company and to feel good about that and not have to rely on anyone else."

Kerr split from husband Orlando Bloom in October 2013 after six years together. The two share 4-year-old son Flynn together.

She went on to dish to the mag about how the exes go about co-parenting.

"It's really nice that Orlando and I now live so close to each other, and it's a really good life for Flynn," Kerr said.

"I can't believe he turned four the other day. How quickly that time has gone. I look at him every day and say, 'You're just growing and growing' and 'Where has my little baby gone?' And he says, 'I'm here, Mama.' He's just become this little sponge, learning new words, and he comes out with the funniest things."

Miranda Kerr tells how to be happy

Yes, she's pregnant and in love, but those aren't the only reasons Miranda Kerr is glowing. Here, she spills the beans.

Miranda Kerr tells how to be happy
 
The title "supermodel" is not an easy one to earn. If you're genetically gifted you're obviously ahead of the game, but the "super" part of the title alludes to something more. Grace. Inner beauty. Skin most women would kill for. And in Miranda Kerr's case, a wholesome country-girl-next-door charm that has catapulted her onto catwalks around the world, into the arms of one of Hollywood's leading men and to the top of many women's "if only I could look like her" lists. So what are her secrets? Put simply, Kerr, who wed British actor Orlando Bloom in July and is seven months pregnant with her first child, lives clean and healthy.

She follows Dr Peter D'Adamo's blood-type diet - which dictates what foods you should and should not eat based on your blood grouping - and credits her glowing skin to an organic plant-based diet and Tahitian noni juice. She also advocates regular body brushing. In addition, Kerr has developed an organic skincare range, Kora Organics, which she says "is a reflection of my passion for living a healthy, organic lifestyle". But it's the obvious external reflection of her inner beauty that has won the Gunnedah, NSW-raised 27-year-old her legion of fans.
 
Kerr is a Nichiren Buddhist, a school of Buddhism based on the belief that all people have an innate Buddhist nature and are inherently capable of attaining enlightenment in their present lifetime. And, rather than reach for the wine and TV remote after a stressful day, Kerr prefers to wind down with meditation and some power yoga with her husband.

The spirit within

The New York-based cover girl now wants to share the spiritual secrets she credits to her success with her growing teenage fan base. To that end, she will launch her debut self-help book, Treasure Yourself, in Australia this month. "I felt as though it was important for my readers to realise I was not always the person they see on a runway or on the cover of a magazine,'' she told body+soul from her home in New York City.
"I wanted them to know that just like them, at times I struggled with insecurity, bullying, rejection and low self-esteem. When I first started working as a model I would feel rejected if I went in for a job but was told I did not have the right look. It took me a while to accept that I was never going to be everything for everyone.''
In fact, she nearly gave up modelling altogether. After winning a Dolly magazine modelling search in 1997, Kerr discovered the industry was nothing like the glamorous world she had expected. "At first I couldn't imagine earning my living from modelling and in those first few years I felt uncertain about modelling as a career,'' Kerr says. "I remember at 13 I went into modelling thinking models got to choose what they wanted to wear in a shoot, lived a glamorous life, made lots of money and were physically perfect. I soon realised that was not the case.''
Despite being visibly pregnant, Kerr made a cameo appearance in the Balenciaga show at the Paris Fashion Week in September, but says she's reduced her workload significantly ahead of the arrival of baby Kerr-Bloom. "I am feeling great and really enjoying the change of pace. I have not stopped working completely, but with less work on I have had a lot more time to spend on my personal projects such as preparing for the book launch and further developing the Kora Organics range.

The darker side

Kerr is now ranked among the world's 10 highest-paid models, according to Forbes magazine. Treasure Yourself - part self-help, part autobiography - chronicles how she got there, from her days spent playing at her grandparents' Queensland farm as a child to her current jetsetting life as a catwalk star. "To me, Treasure Yourself was almost like writing a diary. The book is a very personal account of the life lessons and experiences I have had growing up as a child, right up until the woman I am today,'' she says.
She opens up about her experiences of the darker side of the modelling industry and the heartbreak she felt as a 16-year-old following the death of her first boyfriend, Chris Middlebrook. It's an interesting read, considering the 175 centimetres-tall David Jones ambassador generally sidesteps personal questions during interviews, particularly when they involve her relationships. "We had been dating for two years, and I had just left Gunnedah and moved to Brisbane when he was killed instantly in a car accident and all of a sudden it felt as though my world had fallen apart,'' she says in the book, which she began writing almost five years ago.
"Although we were only young, we had both talked about spending the rest of our lives together. I felt as if my heart had been ripped from my chest and I didn't know what to do.'' Kerr keeps in touch with Middlebrook's family, who are still based in Gunnedah, and has referred to him as her guardian angel. As with most challenges in her life now, Kerr used "power thoughts" to help get her through the difficult time. "I now say to myself, 'I trust the process of life', to remind me that even in the darkest hours there is still light and possibility,'' she writes.

Dreams and ambitions

Kerr is a devotee of gurus Deepak Chopra and Louise L Hay, and has included dozens of their positive affirmations in her book. They are among her favourite motivational tools. Kerr says she also takes a "vision book" on her travels, to keep herself focused on her dreams and ambitions. "I have pictures of places I would love to go, people I hope to meet, things I would like to do and even pictures of friends and family that I pray will remain in my life for as long as possible,'' she says. "I find it really uplifting to look over the images and focus on them as being part of my future.''
Considering she is about to welcome another person into her life in a few months, Kerr has no doubt saved a special spot in her book for her baby girl or boy. "If being pregnant and already feeling such a close connection with the baby is anything to go by then I am really looking forward to that moment.''

Miranda Kerr makes heartfelt plea to raise $21,700 to help severely ill Russian baby Muhammad Aigubov undergo life-saving heart surgery

She recently donated $100K to a Thai charity for injured elephants and it seems generous Miranda Kerr is fully jumping onto the philanthropy bandwagon.

The Australian supermodel took to Instagram on Saturday to urge her Instagram fans to place generous bids in a charity auction so that a six-month-old baby can receive life-saving heart surgery.

Little Muhammad Aigubov, who lives in the Russian city of Makhachkala, suffers from a heart defect which has left part of the organ undeveloped and his plight has touched the 32-year-old model.

'Taking to Instagram on Saturday, she said in a short video clip:'I'm joining Lena Perminova and Louis Vuitton in an Instagram auction to help raise the much needed funds for a 6-month old baby boy who desperately needs life-saving heart surgery...'
Miranda has offered to personally thank bidders after the Louis Vuitton show in Paris for their generous bids. 
The life saving procedure will cost $21,700 and will be undertaken by German specialist doctor Victor Hraske, who has already operated twice on the sick boy.

Joining Miranda in the appeal is fellow catwalk queen Lena Perminova, founder of the first global Instagram charity auction project, and luxury brand Louis Vuitton.

The highest bidder in Muhammad's charity appeal will receive a ticket to Louis Vuitton's spring/summer 2016 runway show in Paris as well as have the opportunity to meet Miranda herself backstage. 

Skincare mogul Miranda will also present the highest bidder with a gift bag brimming with products from her cosmetics line, Kora Organics.

With an Instagram reach of 7.2 followers, it is likely that Miranda's online plea will greatly increase the number of entries into the auction. 

Two days ago, the former Victoria's Secret angel once again coaxed her Instagram followers into charitable action by asking them to donate to Sydney Children's Hospital in Sydney's suburb of Randwick.  

The mother-of-one, who was formerly married to English actor Orlando Bloom, is currently dating billionaire Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel.

The loved-up duo were first spotted together July this year when they arrived into LAX after a romantic getaway. 

Miranda took out the sixth place on Forbes' sixth highest paid supermodel list this year, earning a whopping $5.5 million over the past 12 months, whilst Evan was hailed as Forbes' youngest billionaire in the world by the financial magazine.
