Newly engaged Miss Kerr grips helium balloon for photoshoot

When you’re wrapped up in engagement bliss, there’s nothing like going back to work to bring you down to earth with a bump.
Any more helium in that balloon and that could well have been the case for Miranda Kerr.
The Australian supermodel was on a photoshoot in New York yesterday, posing with a big blue balloon downtown in the city.

And although she may be 5ft 9in, her tiny and slender frame looked in danger of being swept away with the balloon as it floated above her head.
Her huge diamond engagement ring could have added to her weight, but ever the professional, she removed it for the shoot.
Miranda, who this week announced her engagement to actor Orlando Bloom, was in New York to model for a Korean clothing company.

She was snapped in a number of outfits for the clothing line, called Coming Step, for a few sets of photos taken all around the city for the upcoming autumn/winter season.
And she spent a lot of the day in the city’s trendy Meatpacking District working on the shoot.
Having finally ditched – or let go of – the big blue balloon, the Victoria’s Secret model changed from her cream ruffled shirt and short black skirt into a black dress and short purple leather biker’s jacket for another set of pictures.

June in New York can be hot and sticky and yesterday was no exception, as the thermometers hit 33C.
So it couldn’t have been much fun for Miranda, who then had to change into thick leather trousers and a heavy winter jacket for another set of pictures, while bemused construction workers looked on.
Thankfully, the winds picked up as she was changing for another set of snaps, but one gust left her blushing, as it lifted her skirt and flashed her pert bottom to the world.
She soon ditched the skirt and jacket for a white shirt and funky patterned leggings, accessorised with a tasselled belt, before ending on a casual note in skinny jeans and a T-shirt.
Miranda, 28, lives in New York with Lord Of The Rings star Bloom, 33, who are engaged to be married after dating for almost three years.
A couple of days ago, Miranda’s mother Therese jetted in from Australia to help her daughter plan the celebrity wedding of the year.

A spokesperson for the Kerr family in Australia told People magazine: ‘The entire Kerr family is thrilled with the news. It is a very exciting time for both of them.’
And Orlando’s mother Sonia Copeland said she was ‘thrilled’ about the engagement, adding: ‘Miranda is a beautiful girl, in all aspects of that word.’
