"Every day, I like to wake up and remind myself to be grateful of the simple things."
~ Miranda Kerr
Miranda Kerr is one of the highest-earning models. There is no surprise there but what is surprising is that Miranda is actually not that tall for a supermodel.
She is one of the shortest Victoria's Secret Angels. Still, the official Victoria's website lists Ms. Kerr at a still impressive 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm) -- that only goes to show how tall Victoria's Secret Angels are.
We took a careful look at Ms. Kerr and compared her elegant stature to that of some other famous people, like Selena Gomez (5'5"), Katy Perry (5'8"), Lily Aldridge (5'8"), Candice Swanepoel (5'8½"), and some others.
What we found in our investigation is that Miranda's real height lies somewhere between Katy Perry and Candice Swanepoel -- probably closer to the latter than the former.
If Miranda looks a full 5'9" tall woman that may be only because of her excellent body proportions.
Well, what is half an inch in the grand scheme of things?
The real height of Miranda Kerr is
5'8½" or 174 cm

Miranda Kerr is as intelligent as she is beautiful, here are some very interesting quotes from her:
Miranda Kerr on just chillin' and relaxin' in nature.
If you want to relax, watch the clouds pass by if you're laying on the grass, or sit in front of the creek; just doing nothing and having those still moments is what really rejuvenates the body.
Miranda Kerr on the foundation of relationships.
I think for any relationship to be successful, there needs to be loving communication, appreciation, and understanding.
Miranda Kerr on the power of knowledge.
I feel like knowledge is power: If you know how to take care of yourself, you can be a better version of yourself.
Miranda Kerr on being a good person.
A nice person is a 'yes' person, whereas a good person is a person who accepts their responsibility in things and moves forward and tries to constantly evolve, and isn't afraid to say no or challenge someone or be honest or truthful.
Miranda Kerr on Yoga.
Yoga is at the core of my health and wellness routine; even if it's only for 10 to 15 minutes I find it helps me to re-center and to focus as well as improve my overall core strength.
Miranda Kerr on accepting challanges.
I feel like life is really short, and it's important to enjoy yourself and embrace whatever comes your way, whether it's a challenging day or a great day, just welcome it with open arms. No matter who you are, you can't escape challenges; they are part of life.
Miranda Kerr on different kind of beauties.
I can't feel bad about being who I am, just like the girl next to me can't feel bad about being who she is. Because a rose can never be a sunflower, and a sunflower can never be a rose.
Miranda Kerr on climbing.
I got stuck up a tree when I was about seven, and my dad had to come and get the ladder to get me down. I loved to climb all the way up to the top. I must have been a koala in my past life.
Miranda Kerr on being a good person.
I guess I'm just an open-hearted, fair, good person. I try to encourage people to be their best and look inside themselves and find out what they are passionate about and expand on that and enjoy life.
Miranda Kerr on the desire of making a difference.
I've always had a burning desire to help people and make a difference in the world. I didn't know how I could do that in modeling when it can be such a fake world. But my dad told me I could make a difference by being true to myself and teaching people what I've learned about spirituality, health, and nutrition.
Miranda Kerr on beign driven.
I'm a pretty driven person, and I've accepted that about myself. For a long time, I was like, 'I'm a very laid-back person, I grew up in the country,' but I'm also very driven, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am right now.
Miranda Kerr on challanges.
It doesn't matter who you are: being human is being human. Everyone has days that are challenging.
Miranda Kerr on Mother Nature.
When I pray, I always thank Mother Nature for all the beauty in the world. It's about having an attitude of gratitude.
Miranda Kerr on being comfortable without clothes.
I've always been very comfortable wearing not much, in my swimwear or my underwear, or running around naked. I've always been very free like that. I don't really know why, exactly, but I just have been. Not really too shy about that.
Miranda Kerr on the power of yoga.
I find the practice of yoga very spiritual and taking the time to just be and to reflect through meditation and chanting helps me to connect to a higher energy.
Miranda Kerr on wanting to be close to nature.
I really feel that my body craves to be in the mountains or by the ocean or in the countryside.
Miranda Kerr on having a wacky sense of humour.
I have a weird sense of humour. My dad's the same. We love watching 'Monty Python' together.
Miranda Kerr on hard work.
I work really, really hard and it's challenging going through all of those time zones and having to be awake when you're supposed to be asleep. I literally fly more than a pilot.
Miranda Kerr on beauty.
I live by the philosophy that beauty starts from within.
Miranda Kerr on the insecurity of models.
Models are some of the most insecure people I've ever met. They're constantly being told they're not good enough. You've really got to practice loving yourself.
Miranda Kerr being loved and appreciated by a loved one.
My mistake in my relationships has been to feel that I can do it all on my own: 'I don't need a man.' That is definitely a mistake. Women generally want to feel loved and appreciated. It's something that I am working on every day, trust me! It's a challenge for me to do that.
Miranda Kerr on being positive.
I'm that person who says, 'No matter what the problem is, there's a solution.' That's the way my brain is wired. If someone says to me, 'Well, that's not possible. It can't happen,' I say, 'Yes it is. I'm going to sit here and show you that it can.'
Miranda Kerr on finding her passion.
My ambition comes from my passion: finding what I love and then expanding on that.
Miranda Kerr on the power of mind.
People don't even realize the power the mind has over the body in the way you perceive things. Change your thoughts, change your reality. Words are powerful - every thought and every word we think has an effect on the body.
