She’s been a Victoria’s Secret Angel for two years now and here’s proof that Miranda Kerr is still performing her duties to perfection.
The 26-year-old Australian has stripped down to her underwear again to model the latest lingerie line for the brand’s autumn 2009 catalogue.
In one pose, the model looks seductively away from the camera as she dons a pink and gold threaded two-piece with an ivory lace scarf draped around her back.
And in another shot, Miranda, who dates actor Orlando Bloom, goes topless, slipping into a pink G-string complete with a flower-shaped accessory sewn on at the back.
Keeping her profile high means endless fashion shoots and yesterday she was spotted in France having more photographs taken for Victoria’s Secret.
She was seen splashing around in the sea on Saint Barthelemy island as she modelled a series of bikinis and other revealing outfits.
Miranda has recently denied reports she has lost weight to fit into the super-skinny catwalk clothes.
She said: ‘I am the same weight and measurements I have maintained for more than three years.
‘I am conscious of not only maintaining but promoting a healthy lifestyle and I wouldn’t be able to sustain the hectic nature of my modelling commitments if I wasn’t 100 per cent committed to feeding my body the food, vitamins and minerals it needs.’
Two years after becoming a Victoria’s Secret Angel, Miranda’s earning power has steadily risen.
She came in at number nine in Forbes magazine’s annual list of the world’s top paid models.
From July 2008 until June 2009, Miranda earned an impressive $3million.

New York — A cosmetics-marketing company claims in a New York lawsuit that Naomi Campbell didn’t hand over its cut of the proceeds from a fragrance-licensing agreement.
The lawsuit says the supermodel violated a 1998 contract by leaving Moodform Mission out of a deal made within roughly the past year.
It says she stopped paying Moodform Mission its share of proceeds from scents it helped develop. Those include Naomi Campbell, Cat Deluxe and Seductive Elixir.
A Campbell spokesman and a lawyer who has represented her didn’t immediately respond to messages Tuesday. Neither did a representative for Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble Co., which sells the fragrances.
Moodform Mission is based in Miami Beach, Fla., and London.
The lawsuit was filed late Monday and seeks unspecified damages.

Kate Moss has become a well know fashion name amongst us fashionistas in the past few years, designing amazing ranges for Topshop.
We’ve seen her come up with a range of funky t-shirts, dresses and cardigans and queued for hours outside Topshop to get our hands on the latest must have bit.
So imagine how excited we were to hear Miss Moss is now launching a range of night ware, which we think is perfect for snuggling up on these cold winter nights.
However, as you would expect with any of this starlets pieces, they are far from original (we’ll put our fluffy slippers away now.)
Instead Kate’s range is based on vintage, as well as exotic cultures, which can be seen quite clearly with this stunning Oriental butterfly kimono and slip.
We haven’t been able to get our hands on pictures of the whole collection, which launches on Thursday, but look out very soon for a gallery of this range. We definitely think it’ll be worth it.

Berlin — US former supermodel Cindy Crawford says she would have little chance of making it big in the fashion business today with her curvy figure, a German celebrity magazine reported on Tuesday.
“I would not have become a supermodel in 2009. I look too healthy,” Crawford told Bunte.
“A body like mine with big breasts, normal thighs and toned upper arms” is no longer what the industry is looking for, she said.
Crawford, 43, said she was happy with her physique but worried about the effects of ageing like wrinkles and bulges.
“That’s why I like being in my 40s so much — being at peace with yourself, knowing about your strengths beyond being pretty,” she said.
Crawford, known for her trademark beauty spot above her upper lip, briefly studied chemical engineering before becoming one of the world’s most popular cover girls in the 1980s and 1990s.

The 40-year-old Helena Christensen might be older than most of her fellow fashion models but she is still going strong: after her recent gigs for lingerie label Agent Provocateur and Tommy Hilfiger bags, her new campaign for Swedish hipster label Odd Molly has just been released.
Pictures released this week show the Danish supermodel posing in the streets of Stockholm and in a studio, wearing clothes from the brand’s fall/winter collection: skirts and cardigans in Odd Molly’s signature patterns, as well as ‘destroyed’ jeans, little tops and the label’s sleep- and underwear. The collection comes with various romantic accessories such as lace tights and umbrellas, and bows and ruffles accentuate many of the items.
The label’s choice of going for a more mature model reflects an ongoing trend of more and more designers opting for the ‘original supermodels’ from the 1980s and 90s. Jerry Hall was previously tapped for Chanel’s bag campaign, and Claudia Schiffer as well as Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington have recently fronted Yves Saint Laurent’s ‘Manifesto’ ads.
Odd Molly previously announced the launches of a skincare and a men’s wear range.

Victoria’s secret model Miranda Kerr is starring in her highly-anticipated fashion shoot for V magazine’s November issue.
The issue, which also features Charlotte Gainsbourg, sees the Australian supermodel star in a postmodern pinup photoshoot called ‘Pin Me Up, Pin Me Down’, alongside fellow Victoria’s Secret angel Ana Beatriz Barros.
Photographed by Willy Vanderperre, the shoot is a subversive take on sexy – courtesy of Olivier Rizzo’s styling – and presents a postmodern approach to promiscuous pinup dressing as the model poses in Proenza Schouler, Dolce and Gabanna, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent and Miu Miu.
Bras styled over sweaters and dresses and polka dot netted veils? We love Olivier Rizzo’s styling.
Not only is Miranda scarily beautiful, has a body to die for and gets to wear the most luxurious lingerie around, she also hangs on the arm of her heartthrob boyfriend Orlando Bloom. Jealous much? Er, just a little.
See the full shoot in the November issue of V magazine, which, as we mentioned yesterday, hits news stands on November 3rd, or visit the magazine online at www.vmagazine.com

When you’re a hotel heiress, weighed down by sunglasses, a handbag and BlackBerry, you can hardly be expected to carry anything else – especially if you’re Paris Hilton.
And so it was as the socialite left all the heavy lifting to her assistant as she arrived for a photoshoot in Hollywood yesterday.
Looking polished in a pretty chiffon tea dress and co-ordinating cream handbag and heels, Paris strolled from car to studio – while her companion emerged from the same vehicle laden with bags and Halloween costumes.
Despite her assistant struggling with the weight, Paris appeared blissfully ignorant of the efforts being made on her behalf.
Of course, the 28-year-old could well have been suffering from a sore head following boyfriend Doug Reinhardt’s 24th birthday party in Las Vegas the previous evening.
The couple appeared to be smitten with one another, kissing, dancing and even smearing birthday cake over each other’s faces.
But the fun was cut short when the socialite learned that her ex-boyfriend was performing at the event.
A source told how Paris fled after spotting Benji Madden, brother to Nicole Richie’s boyfriend Joel, who had stepped in at the last minute to play bass for the band Taintstick.
‘Paris and Doug stopped in to Wasted Space nightclub to see Taintstick play,’ they said.
‘Shortly after getting into the gig, Paris saw Benji’s face and bolted.
‘She was freaking out big time and was desperate not to bump into him. It’s quite clear they didn’t end on good terms.’
It’s not all bad hews for the socialite though, as this week she was reunited with $2million worth of jewellery that was stolen from her home over a year ago.
Dawn Miller, Paris’s publicist, said: ‘She went to the police station last night to retrieve her stolen belongings.
‘She didn’t get everything but fortunately most of her jewellery was returned. She is really pleased and thankful to the LAPD for their help.’
Six people have been arrested in connection with the burglary on Paris’s home, as well as thefts from the homes of celebrities Lindsay Lohan and The Hills’ Audrina Partridge.
