Miranda Kerr dons a SUPER LARGE hat … silly or no?

So I’m giggling…but not at her… Asian hapa Miranda Kerr dons a Nerida-Winter headdress at the Caulfield Cup in Australia Saturday, October 17th.

Miranda Kerr

As of mid-2007, Kerr is the first Australian to be signed onto a Victoria’s Secret modeling contract. Australian “Current Affair” show, Today Tonight, reports in the video below that Kerr is of Serbian, Iranian, Turkish, and Filipino descent.

Born in Sydney, Australia on April 20, 1983, Kerr and her family moved to the Brisbane city life from Gunnedah, New South Wales where she rode motorbikes and horses as a child in her grandmother’s farm. Kerr planned to study nutrition in college before deciding to pursue modeling.

The dimpled beauty has been the face of major cosmetics and fashion campaigns such as Maybelline, Clinique, and Arden B. Forbes magazine listed Kerr as the 10th top-earning model with $3.5 million in 2008.

Kerr and her boyfriend, actor, Orlando Bloom, of the famed Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings films, practice a Japanese branch of Buddhsim, called Nichirin Buddhism. More on Miranda Kerr on Wiki.
