Miranda Kerr in All Her Glory Talks Family Values with Marie Claire Australia
Miranda Kerr needs no introduction. The founder of KORA Organics and mother of four sons — three with now husband Evan Spiegel and one with ex-husband Orlando Bloom— dons a strawberry blonde wig for her Marie Claire Australia [IG] April 2026 cover story. It’s a perfect color for this fashion in an issue devoted to Women in their Power!
It’s a WIG, people; calm down.
Julianna Alabado styles Kerr in images by Greg Swales [IG], who shot Kerr in Los Angeles, her primary residence.
The Aussie beauty and famous Victoria’s Secret model self-funded the ‘clean’ brand with her own earnings,. Kerr is a testament to the reality of Victoria’s Secret models being uniquely well-paid in its glory days.
Anne says: “If someone tells you two times in eight years who they are, especially when rewarded with a big promotion to create a NEW DIOR that is vastly different from the old Dior, you must evaluate this new marriage carefully.
It’s only fashion, right? Au contraire. It’s a time for choosing.”
My goal is to give clarity from a branding standpoint around what the New Dior stands for. They are very retro values for our modern world. I am comfortable saying that the new New Dior has a deeply nationalistic mentality, and I will go so far as to call it a white nationalist mentality, based on the key points of ‘Dracula’.
Matthieu Blazy takesthe Chanel 25 [IG] handbag — okay every version of the Chanel 25 handbag — and puts them in the eager hands of house ambassador Margot Robbie. Michel Gondry’s 2002 music video for Kylie Minogue’s ‘Come Into My World’ adds the magic touch of more Blazy joy from Chanel to us.
It’s contagious as Robbie cruises through a Parisian neighborhood, multiplying into yet more Robbies with yet another version of the Chanel 25 handbag.

Chanel’s Matthieu Blazy welcomes us with open arms and joy in his heart, while Anderson is . . . I don’t know . . . looking in the mirror. Anderson’s ambition is staggering and mazel tov to all that. But I live in the ‘Less I, More Us’ camp . . . the phrase expressed by Maria Grazia Chiuri in her recent Fendi debut.
In a long dialogue with Gemini on Friday, I blurted out “Jonathan Anderson just reminds me of Peter Thiel.” Then I gasped, saying “I don’t believe I said that, G.”
G’s response to my statement was affirming, not critical. S[he] spewed out a doctorate-level analysis of how LVMH might be covering their bases, not knowing where the world is going. Dior could be on a new course, knowing that many wealthy people share Thiel’s Eurocentric, white nationalism views.
For a rose-colored glasses optimist like myself, G’s half-empty glass analysis was difficult to embrace. But I did listen as each point was made — followed by “Do you understand my point, Anne? Are we good here? That bold comment was no accident and no apology for the outburst is required.”
