Miranda Kerr is all smiles at the Louis Vuitton celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Lunar Landing at the American Museum of Natural History on Monday (July 13) in New York City.
The 26-year-old Aussie supermodel latest shoot for David Jones was set in South Australia’s deserts and involved the young model and 15-person crew traveling more than 1500km in three weeks, the Herald Sun reports.
“I love being home in Australia,” Miranda said, despite the fact the shoot was shut down for flooding. “We have such a beautiful country, so why not incorporate it with the beautiful designers we have as well.”

Kate Moss is set to become the world’s richest model thanks to a lucrative new deal she’s about to ink with British mogul Sir Philip Green and TV producer extraordinaire Simon Cowell. The 35-year-old supermodel, pictured above in an ad for Agent Provocateur, is joining forces with the two men on a new $1.6 billion global multi-faceted entertainment company. Green owns the Topshop brand which Moss recently collaborated with for a new collection. Moss will direct the style and image of the as-yet-unnamed empire, as well as give fashion-related branding advice, under the terms of the deal which could net her up to $80 million based on profit-sharing arrangements, the London Daily Mail reports. The sum would double Moss’ fortune giving her a net worth of about $160 million, the paper notes. In essence the plan is to merchandise the hell out of Cowell’s hit TV shows both here and abroad. The prospect of Moss getting involved in the music side of the business has also been floated.

Karolina Kurkova is expecting a baby.
The 25-year-old Czech model is said to be six months pregnant with her first child with her filmmaker fiance Archie Drury.
A representative at Karolina’s agency DNA Models said: “The couple have been together for a little over a year. This is the first child for both.”
Karolina, who can soon be seen starring as Courtney A. Kreiger, an army recruit also known as Cover Girl, in new movie ‘G.I.Joe: The Rise of the Cobra’, began modeling at 15 and is famous for not having a bellybutton.
At 17 she became one of the youngest models to ever appear on the cover of US style bible Vogue, with editor Anna Wintour reportedly calling her the “next supermodel”.
She is also known for her work with lingerie firm Victoria’s Secrets, and wore a fantasy bra designed by Hearts on Fire and worth about $10 million in the company’s 2002 fashion show.
In 2006, Karolina was again chosen to model the fantasy bra and showcased a $6.5 million creation which was made of 2,000 diamonds.

Supermodel Adriana Lima managed to steal the show at the 40th anniversary of the moon landing by debuting her growing baby bump.
The Brazilian beauty, who is four months pregnant with her first child, exhibited her burgeoning belly in a clingy blue silk chiffon dress last night.
The lingerie model, 28, showed her pregnancy hadn’t quelled her sexiness as she pouted for photographers at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
Buzz Aldrin, the second man to set foot on the moon in 1969, was guest of honour at the Louis Vuitton party to mark 40 years since Apollo 11 made history.
Louis Vuitton and designer Marc Jacobs have enlisted Aldrin, Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell and the first American female in space, Sally Ride, to star in an advert for the firm to commemorate the 40th anniversary.
The Victoria’s Secret model is expecting her first child with Serbian basketball player husband Marko Jaric, 30, in December.
Adriana fell pregnant within weeks of marrying Marko in a small ceremony in Wyoming on Valentine’s Day.
The model spoke recently of her family plans: ‘I never saw myself being married and having a child. Not because I did not want to. But it’s tough to find somebody.
‘(But after meeting Marko) everything changed. I knew he was the one and I could see myself married with him and with a big family.
‘We are so excited. We wanted this. We were ready. My mom is doing everything and getting things ready.’
Also in attendance at last night’s party were Australian model Miranda Kerr, English singer Estelle, American R&B star Cassie, Gossip Girl actress Jessica Szohr and The City reality TV star Whitney Port.
