In January 2014, Miranda Kerr, who stands out with her height of 5′ 9″ (175 cm), skipped the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony and headed straight to the after-party in a daring dress that could stop traffic.
Kerr started gymnastics at a young age and competed in her native country of Australia. However, she had to quit the sport as a teenager because she became too tall. The average height of a female gymnast is around 5’2″, but Kerr is 5’9″.

Miranda Kerr’s Height: Too Tall for Gymnastics
In a July 2012 interview with Vogue, she revealed that her height has not always been to her benefit.
“When I was young I wanted to be a gymnast,” she revealed. “I used to compete at it, but then I grew too tall,” she added about her height making it impossible to become a gymnast.
“I never planned it or took it too seriously. A friend entered me into a competition when I was 14 but I kept going with school in spite of getting modeling work,” Kerr said about becoming a model.

She joined fellow show-stoppers Jaime King, Emma Watson, and Olivia Wilde at the Warner Bros. and InStyle Golden Globe Awards after-party at The Beverly Hilton hotel.
The stunning supermodel turned heads in a floor-length, backless gown held together by thin gold chains. This Pre-Fall 2014 creation from Emilio Pucci features long sleeves and a sexy thigh-high slit.
Miranda’s hair was styled in a slick bun to show off her gorgeous drop earrings. She finished her look with bright red lips, layered necklaces, and sexy heels from Casadei.

We also spotted Taylor Swift wearing the same sandals at the Country Music Awards.
