Miranda Kerr speaks about sex symbol status

"It's not really something I'm aware of and it's definitely not how I see myself" the supermodel has said."I think it is something that definitely comes from working with Victoria's Secret because that's all about sexiness and all of the girls are so beautiful, I'm comfortable with it, but I don't look at myself in that way!" she exclaims.

Speaking to British Vogue, she spoke about her mentality in the world of modelling and how she relates to herself and her body.

"I never focus on the negative. Everyone has things that they don't love about themselves, but I think that, as women, it's much healthier and more positive to focus on your good parts and the things you like about yourself - not pick yourself apart or be too hard on yourself."

The Australian supermodel, who turned 29 last week, is a regular on international runways and in campaigns for the biggest designers. As well as being a wife to actor Orlando Bloom, she is mother to a 15-month-old son, Flynn.

"Everyone has a different beauty and different qualities and I think that women need to learn to love their qualities and be comfortable in the fact that everyone is different" she says.

Kerr was the first Australian model to receive a contract with the luxury lingerie brand Victoria's Secret and has been a part of the company, and their annual runway shows, since 2007. She often credits to runway show as the highlight of each year, she says "the atmosphere is fun, exciting, girly, and there's lots of hairspray. The atmosphere is always electric and the girls are all really fun so it's a great show to do, one of my favourites".
