It’s little wonder Miranda Kerr has been dubbed the next Elle MacPherson – or, indeed, that she’s won Orlando Bloom’s heart.
The Australian supermodel with the famous dimples and even more famous curves has just fronted yet another high-profile campaign for top lingerie company, Victoria’s Secret.
And with her enviable curves poured into this retro canary-yellow swim suit from their new line, it’s not difficult to see why.
The 23-year-old, who first started dating Orlando Bloom in late 2007, is now rumoured to be engaged to the Lord of the Rings star.
The couple looked extremely loved-up during a whistle-stop visit to Cannes earlier this week.
And Miranda has recently been spotted wearing what looks like an engagement ring on her left finger.
Her spokespeople declined to comment when contacted by people.com today – but just last month, she revealed her desire to start a family.
‘Yeah, one day down the line, of course I’d love to be a mum – it’s definitely something I’d like to do,’ she said.
But, also like Elle, she’s no dumb model.
In fact, Miranda has penned a book, which she hopes to release before Christmas, and has several other projects in the pipeline.
‘It’s an inspirational, motivational book for young women,’ said the Victoria’s Secret Angel, who swears by organic food and a regular yoga routine.
‘Definitely, I have a few things going on at the moment that I’m not allowed to talk about, which is really annoying, but I can’t,’ she said.
She also admitted she wasn’t averse to following Orlando into acting: ‘If there was a good role that I found interesting, I would do it,’ she said.
She went on: ‘I don’t look at myself as a sex symbol, I see it as a job that I really love.
‘I have travelled around the world, like, way too many times, and the thing is that I am so grateful to be Australian.
‘We have so much beautiful nature and beaches – things people don’t appreciate as much as they should.
‘And if they travelled a little more, then maybe they would,’ she said.

After starring in 2004 sex tape 1 Night In Paris, you’d expect Paris Hilton to stay away from home videos.
But during her latest night out in Cannes, the hotel heiress shed her inhibitions and put on a sexy show as she was filmed by her latest boyfriend Doug Reinhardt.
After changing from a gold sequinned mini-dress into a tiny black number, the socialite ended up flashing her knickers at fellow partygoers as she grappled with Doug on the dancefloor.
After filming Paris, 28, perform a sexy dance, besotted Doug, 23, pulled his girlfriend onto his lap for a very public kissing session.
The couple, who have been dating for three months, couldn’t keep their hands off each other at the VIP Rooms club on the French Riviera.
Earlier that night, the couple put on another display of public affection as they enjoyed a spot of tonsil-tennis in full view of the hundreds of revellers.
The bash was held in honour of Paris to celebrate the sale of her documentary Paris, Not France, which she has been touting around the festival this week.
After attending the premiere of Quentin Tarantino’s film Inglourious Basterds in a chic silver strapless gown earlier that evening, Paris briefly popped back to her room at the Hotel Du Cap to change into something more nightclub friendly.
While baseball star Doug remained in his black suit – but lost the tie for a more casual look – Paris went for an all-gold ensemble in a sequinned mini-dress and matching accessories.
Complementing her golden tan, which she has picked up from sunbathing by the pool all day, Paris went for a platitude of gold, including clutch bag, necklace, bracelet, shoes and a headband – all presumably from her new accessories line.
While in previous nights Paris has been spotting partying with the likes of Penelope Cruz, Dita Von Teese and Peaches Geldof, the socialite appeared to be the only celebrity in attendance on Wednesday night.
Since arriving on the French Riviera at the weekend, Paris has been out every night and regularly ended up at the VIP Rooms.
However, her reason for choosing VIP Rooms may have financial motivation.
The New York Post reports VIP Rooms is the only club in Cannes who agreed to pay her to attend.
Paris makes a lot of her multi-million dollar fortune by charging for public appearances at nightclubs across the world.
One event planner said Paris’s representatives had been offering her attendance for $100,000, but a majority of organisers weren’t interested.
An organiser told the Post’s PageSix column: ‘No one bit. They aren’t about to pay her. It’s not 2002.
‘We think she got some money from the club VIP, but everyone else is running for the hills.’
Writing on her Twitter micro-blogging site last night, Paris enthused: ‘At my party at Club VIP! So amaazinggggg!!!! Huuuugeee.
‘Having the best time with the Sexiest Man on Earth! Loves it! 
Huge!!!!!!’
Earlier that evening, Paris and Doug posed on the same red carpet at Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the screening of Quentin Tarantino’s new film Inglourious Basterds.
The film is the hottest ticket at this year’s festival and it appears Paris was quite taken with it.
She said: ‘Just got out of the premiere of Quentin Tarantino’s new movie Inglourious Basterds. It was invredible (sic). One of the best movies I’ve seen! .’
Equally enthusiastic was boyfriend Doug, who also described the film as ‘best movie I have ever seen’.
Writing about Paris on his Twitter page this week, Doug gushed: ‘Sooo in love with my Princess Paris.
‘She’s my angel, my love, my other half and best friend. I never knew a love like this could exist….
‘I am so in love with my beautiful Princess Paris, the most incredible, amazing, drop dead gorgeous girl that’s ever lived.’
During her few days at the festival, Paris has struck up a friendship with fellow socialite Peaches and has been spotted partying with the English rock offspring on several occasions.
After swapping mobile numbers, Paris said: ‘Peaches is such a sweetie. I can’t wait to bring my bling to London where she’ll be just perfect to model it with me.’

She has a body to make women half her age green with envy.
Yet unlike so many of her contemporaries, Marie Helvin’s youthful looks owe nothing to the cosmetic surgeon’s knife – or even to the wonders of Botox.
Instead, the 56-year-old says the secrets of her success are simply soap, water and lashings of moisturiser.
The supermodel, who is single, said: ‘Whatever I use on my face I take right down [to my cleavage]. They’re my best asset. Not that anyone really sees them any more. But I do.’
Of course, good genes are also important, as Miss Helvin – who had a Japanese mother and American father – readily admits.
‘My mother always said that Japanese women look youthful for years and then one morning they wake up and they’ve aged like 100 years,’ she said in an interview with The Times.
‘And she’s right. It happened to her when she was 79.’
Miss Helvin, who is the face of a Marks & Spencer clothing range for over-45s, said her regime means there is no need for images of her to be airbrushed, either.
‘I don’t like it when I see magazine photographs of me that have been retouched because I think I look better now than I did when I was in my 40s.’
