Miranda Kerr came close to a Victoria's Secret runway comeback this year, but in the end she trusted her instincts. Speaking on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, the Australian supermodel said she "seriously considered" walking the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show before deciding against it last month, Page Six reports.
Listening to her gut
Miranda, 43, last walked the show in 2012. She admitted that the idea of returning made her anxious. "Everyone's in their underwear," she said. "I'm 43. I have four boys."
She explained that she tried to meditate through the nerves but felt "this knot in my stomach" that would not go away. Once she told herself she would not do the show, she said, she immediately felt at peace, even though many people on her team were encouraging her to say yes.
"It also feels like that was then and this is now, and I'm at a different stage in my life," she said.
No hard feelings
Miranda was full of praise for the brand, saying she has "beautiful memories" of her past shows and felt "humbled and honored" to be invited back as "a 43-year-old mother of four."
She walked the Victoria's Secret show six times, starting in 2006, and remains one of its best-known former Angels.
Back on the runway, on her own terms
The decision does not mean she has stepped away from fashion. In September, Miranda made a surprise return to the catwalk for Stella McCartney, nearly a decade after her last runway appearance. She said the nerves before that show felt different.
These days her focus is on her skincare brand Kora Organics and her four sons: Flynn, 15, whom she shares with ex-husband Orlando Bloom, and Hart, 8, Myles, 7, and Pierre, 2, with husband Evan Spiegel, whom she married in 2017.
