Last night, Tuesday May 15, 2012, at the InStyle and Audi Women of Style Awards, Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr received top honours at the prestigious ceremony, securing the coveted
Readers’ Choice Award as Australia’s most stylish woman.
In front of an audience of more
than 300 guests, Kerr was presented with the accolade, a recognition of her
success in managing her ever-expanding international career commitments
alongside her responsibilities as founder of organic beauty brand, Kora
Organics by Miranda Kerr.
“Beauty entrepreneur,
international model, fashion ambassador, wife, mother – Miranda is the Aussie
country girl who’s hot property globally,” said Kerrie McCallum, editor of InStyle.
“Despite her incredible success, Miranda has retained a natural appeal
which has clearly struck a chord with the Australian public – and her Readers’ Choice
win is testament to this enduring charm.”
The top honour was Kerr’s
second win of the evening, having earlier received an award in the Beauty
category for her brand Kora Organics. She shared the category success with
Rebecca Morrice Williams, founder of Becca.
Asher
Keddie won the hotly contested News and Entertainment category, beating
contenders Rose Byrne and Natalie Imbruglia. Hers was one of the hottest outfits of the night, a fabulous man-style tux, with a sexy feminine edge. [I also love both of Megan Washington's outfits!]
Other award winners included
Nikki Gemmell and Lally Katz, who tied in the Arts & Culture category;
Pamela Easton and Lydia Pearson (Easton Pearson) in Fashion; and Kate Weiss in
Business. Indira Naidoo was announced as Winner in the Lifestyle category,
trumping nominees Donna Hay and Michelle Bridges.
"The InStyle and Audi
Women of Style Awards are the country’s premier awards recognising the efforts
of outstanding women who not only display innovation and passion, but also have
a special place in Australian culture today," McCallum said.
Former Home & Away and
All Saints actress Alyssa McClelland received a $10,000 InStyle and
Audi Style Scholarship, to help her dream of being a dircetor. McClelland is
set to invest the money into the production of her film Sleep Tonight,
and in studying comedic directing in Chicago.
