when miranda kerr signed on with victoria’s secret as gisele bundchen’s official replacement in 2007, many wondered if the statuesque aussie had what it took to fill the legendary brazilian’s, er, bra. well, it’s 2011, and kerr has done more than fill it; she’s made it her own. currently one of the top-paid models in the world (gisele still tops the list), kerr has become the luxe lingerie brand’s most recognizable face (it must be those dimples), and her marriage to orlando bloom and the recent birth of their son is the stuff fairy tales are made of. last year, when sydney-based banker david kiely was suspended from his job after he was seen viewing racy photos of the model on his computer while in the background of a co-worker’s live television interview, kerr publicly supported the scor
