Miranda Kerr: ‘I feel like people really appreciate it when you are authentic’

Miranda Kerr covers the April issue of Vogue Australia, and I’m not wild about the editorial at all. The idea is fine, I guess – just use one of Australia’s most famous model exports in a minimalist pictorial in which she styled with “old Hollywood” glamour. But the execution is off, I think? This just reminds me that I don’t really think much of Miranda as a model – it’s like she thinks her left side is her best side and she refuses to take any photos of her right side. It seems amateurish. My favorite shot is the one where she’s got red lips and she’s wearing the ruby earrings.

There aren’t many interview excerpts so far, but the one quote I’ve seen is… odd. Miranda apparently discusses her habit of posting photos of herself on Instagram and Twitter within the interview, and she claims that she has tons of followers on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram (which is true, she does). She says so many people love her on social media because “I feel like people really appreciate it when you are authentic.” Er…? I’m guessing that most of her followers are dudes who like the many photos she posts of herself in her underwear…? Maybe? Is that about authenticity or is it about dudes liking to look at a pretty model?

Meanwhile, did you hear that Miranda got into a car crash last week? Her spokesperson said “She was rear-ended… She is in a lot of pain, but really we are just glad it was not more serious.” Miranda was walking around LA wearing a neck brace and she seemed to be moving stiffly. Poor girl.

    Wasn’t she in a car accident?? I saw her wearing a neck brace and looking in pain recently.

    • Rita says:

      I read where Justin Bieber rear-ended her with his Lamborwinnie but everything was kept quiet…almost everything.

      • truthful says:

        Biebs is in everything nowdays, she looked so banged up and sad w/that neckbrace on.

  2. Amelia says:

    I propose to have the word ‘authentic’ struck from the vocabulary of celebrities from here on out, or I swear to God, I’m going to go around Hollywood with a roll of ducktape and forcibly stop such idiots from talking.

    • V4Real says:

      Let me know if you need a hand.

      People who are authentic don’t usually go around saying how authentic they are. Put it this way; If I’m a bitch, I don’t have to go around saying I’m a bitch; people in my circle will say it for me.

      BTW I have never found Miranda Kerr attractive. I don’t even think she’s an unique beauty like the way I find Amanda Seyfried.

    • Bugsrunny says:

      I think anyone who uses the word authentic automatically sounds inauthentic. And pretentious.

    • j.eyre says:

      Can we add a few other words/cliches to that list? I have plenty of duct tape.

    • Bijlee says:

      Yes! Why does everyone say this? Why???? It makes you sound pretentious and ridiculous. Rihanna says bull like this, beyonce, lady gaga, so many pretentious pathetic people say this, even the “top” stars in Hollywood. It’s just ridiculous.

    • Irishae says:

      “Authentic” is one of my least favorite words, it is only ever used in a context where it means nothing! Any iteration of “I’m an authentic person” makes my blood boil and do an internal /facepalm.

    • flor says:

      LOL YES!!! I’m here to offer my services if you need help.

      Also, look at her face in all the set of pictures… It’s SO authentic, it’s always the same.

  3. dorothy says:

    This is one woman that is officially over-exposed by the media.

  4. Tanguerita says:

    boring beyond belief. I have never understood her appeal as a model. She always looks the same to me.

  5. Kaye says:

    I think she’s a beautiful young woman. She also bears a slight resemblance to Emilia Clark (the Khaleesi in Game of Thrones) in a couple of these pictures – not in real life though!

  6. mkyarwood says:

    Is that why she’s leaning to the left in everything?

  7. Dawn says:

    I like her and think she is a really pretty. I don’t find her boring at all. I hope she has another little one soon to go along with Flynn!

  8. Ms Kay says:

    …authentic? more like.. “authentic”… The “” is very important y’know!

  9. Miss Kiki says:

    Authentic? LOLZ

  10. bluhare says:

    She ought to try it sometime.

  11. meg says:

    “I feel like people really appreciate it when you are authentic.”

    Said by the fakest woman around…boring model and way overrated!!

  12. CS says:

    Personally I really like her as a model, she can be styled in really versatile ways, although a lot of her image is obviously PR.

  13. Dan says:

    You’re missing the only interesting parts of the car accident story. The only information on the accident must have come from her spokesperson, I’m guessing. They claimed she was rammed by a reckless driver, who was arrested, and Kerr was rushed to the hospital, received multiple MRI scans and has some kind of neck injury. So she gets into a major accident on the freeway, which no one hears about. Literally, it’s been a week and no one has any info, no witness accounts, no police records, no information from the hospital, nothing. Nor was she ever spotted or recognized during any of this. This is a woman who claims she can’t leave the house without the paps stalking her to get pictures of her outfits. But this happens and not a peep?

    It got out when she went out a day later with a neck brace on, in heels walking around with a friend. And a day after that she took the brace off to share this… http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2293576/Miranda-Kerr-removes-neck-brace-slips-bikini-returns-work-car-crash.html I think the “poor girl” is doing alright.

    • Littlewood says:

      Agreed, I think this is another way of her playing the victim just like the stalker story, she had multiple MRI’s and a neck-brace because of a whiplash? Really? What about all those studies about wearing neck-braces is bad for someone with a whiplash?

    • stellalovejoydiver says:

      Just another pathetic attempt for publicity.

    • Jub-Jub says:

      She’s one of the biggest liars around! So sick of her pushing her Kora brand in our faces as well…no we don’t want your overpriced crap.

  14. epiphany says:

    Yes, and you will be authentically divorced by this time next year.

    • Littlewood says:

      Only if she leaved Bloom, he’s too whipped to ever leave her no matter who she sleeps with!

  15. OhDear says:

    She’s physically gorgeous, but IMO not the most interesting model. Feels like she works more on promoting and selling her image than on her work (e.g. learning how to pose better).

  16. WTF says:

    Is it just me, or is this a bad shoot? I am normally blown away by how pretty she is. But something about her hair is making her look like she has a bobblehead.

  17. Abs says:

    Wow. Lazy eye much.

  18. JammySod says:

    This woman was in no car accident, many fact will tell you this but the biggest fact of all is that she took off her neck brace 2 or 3 days after to work which, if she needed the neck brace at all would be a huge no-no but oh, what am I saying, neck braces arent usually given out for whiplash and if her injuries were more serious she wouldnt have been able to work. This woman is not authentic, she is as fake as they come, look at her in videos, in pictures, she is always “on” no matter what and the amount of times people have caught her lying – authentic? I think not!

  19. Marybelle says:

    Miranda looks beautiful. The Delphi haters are really upset that Miranda and Orlando are in love. She is one of the best models out there. The Delphi haters were the ones who started the split rumours. Orlando and Miranda arnt splitting up.

    • Boromir's Bytch says:

      And here I thought Miranda caused all those split rumors by getting frisky in public with Leo DiC. And purposely getting papped without her wedding ring. Repeatedly. Daily. For the cameras. For attention.

      Good try on that spin, but her own overexposure is to blame for a lot of this crap.

      • Mr.Smurf says:

        Ooooh, I must’ve missed those ones- during my SATs! Can you tell me the story? I wouldn’t doubt it…I don’t think I’ve ever seen a model get papp’d as often as she does, especially a vs model….unless she was with Leo- no pics? Spill.

      • Littlewood says:

        In the beginning of December Orlando was in South Africa filming and Miranda in NY. People were starting to notice that they were apart for month and she was showing up at all the parties Leo went to and at one stage witnesses saw her sitting on his lap flirting and at the same time she was papped without her wedding ring numerous times. Entie and Lainey did blind items about her cheating which they both have revealed. As soon as the news came out she left NY to fly to Orlando and denied, denied, denied. Since then there have been happy happy family pictures “caught” by the paparazzi and the red carpets at award season (check out the videos, they’re hilarious). Look up article about her from early December and you’ll find it.

      • Mr.Smurf says:

        @littlewood
        I’ll slightly believe it on her side, because Leo hates paparazzi, maybe she didn’t want to mess it up. I thought that he doesn’t like/ want drama or complications…..her being married certainly is. He generally wants his girlfriends to be bland. Didn’t Bar Refaeli say she shouldn’t have to join the military because she’s a celebrity in a magazine? Idiot. If I was a relative, I’d be embarrassed to be related to her.

        I also heard some other rumor, maybe from a poster on her, that the dates black women on the side, but keeps the white models as official girlfriends. Any truth? My friend and I are discussing him right now on facebook.

      • Littlewood says:

        I don’t know much about Leo to be honest, but I’ve never seen any proof about him secretly dating black women on the side (maybe wishful thinking from some people?)and Miranda is as bland as they come; the last two years she has talked about 3 things: herself, her son (and what a good mother she is) and Kora (and what a good businesswoman she is). Even when she was supposed to advertise VS she talked about Kora instead, LOL.

      • Littlewood says:

        And it’s not exactly drama if you can get away with it, is it… Unless she left Bloom and baby Leo is not going to be affected, people will just look at it as another notch on his VS post and move on. (which they have done)The media in H’wood don’t really care about her so they don’t really report on all the things she has been up to, case in point: the car accident.

  20. KellyinSeattle says:

    Authentic? Look at how much makeup she’s wearing. I do think she’s very pretty but has no personality.

  21. It is ME!! says:

    This editorial is boring. So is Miranda.

    Give me Doutzen Kroes any day.

  22. TheOriginalWaffle says:

    Spot on about that shoot: the lack of variety in the poses looks really budget.

  23. Bogz says:

    Bad photography. Not Vogue caliber.
