Miranda Kerr was ‘seriously considering’ walking in the VS Fashion Show — and why she ultimately said no
Miranda Kerr said she seriously considered returning to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2026, but decided against it after anxiety about walking in her underwear left her with a knot in her stomach. She said the decision mattered because, although colleagues encouraged her to take part, declining brought her an immediate sense of peace and felt right for her current stage of life.
The 43-year-old Australian model last walked the show in 2012, having appeared six times since her debut in 2006. She described being invited back as an honour and recalled her past shows fondly; she had returned to the runway for Stella McCartney in September, but said those nerves felt different. Kerr now focuses on her Kora Organics skincare business and her four sons, aged two to 15.
In short
- Miranda Kerr turned down the 2026 Victoria’s Secret show.
- She said declining eased her anxiety.
- The 43-year-old last walked the show in 2012.
Explained simply
Victoria’s Secret is a lingerie brand whose annual fashion show features models walking a runway in its underwear and themed outfits. Australian model Miranda Kerr first appeared in the show in 2006 and walked in it six times, most recently in 2012.
Kerr has since built a skincare business, Kora Organics, and has four sons. She has also returned to the runway for other fashion labels, including Stella McCartney, but has described the prospect of modelling in lingerie as a different kind of decision for her at this stage of life.
