Meet The Gorgeous Model Who Could Take Miranda Kerr's Place At Victoria's Secret
Karlie Kloss grew up in St. Louis, and is a trained classical ballerina. She told W Magazine that at over six feet tall, she was a foot taller than her prom date in heels.
Soon, she began walking in fashion shows around the world and became known as the "panther" for her distinctive prowl.
In 2011, Kloss walked in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for the first time, representing the Pink line for teens.
She also landed a hot ad campaign with Mercedes.
Kloss' second year in the fashion show proved to be controversial, after her "Miss November" Native American costume caused an outcry and was cut from the television special.
Victoria's Secret also reportedly paid $75,000 for extensions after Kloss cut her hair for a Vogue photoshoot.

However, the brand let her keep her short hair at her first Angel event, where she promoted swimwear. Some fans don't like the short hair, but the cut is one of the most popular this year.
Kloss is rumored to be dating tech investor Joshua Kushner.
She also tried to enter the art world, bidding on a $6,400 painting at an independent gallery. She went to Basel and partied with Demi Moore and Dasha Zhukova.

After Hurricane Sandy, Kloss partnered with NYC dessert hotspot Milk to create cookies to sell for charity.

Now that she's a Victoria's Secret Angel, it will be interesting to see if Kloss keeps her contracts with Mercedes, Donna Karan, Lacoste, and Lanvin. The brand is notoriously demanding of its Angels.
