Victoria's Secret, the lingerie giant that once brandished Miranda Kerr's breasts with 142 carats of diamonds for a show finale that went off with a bling, has just announced this year's Angels.

You might not believe it, based on her earnestly saccharine quotes about peonies, sunflowers and roses being beautiful in their own way just like women, but Miranda Kerr is no Angel. At least she is no longer a Victoria's Secret one.

As Fairfax exclusively revealed in April, Kerr decided to scale back her modelling career, including the Angels gig and her role with David Jones, to focus on her son, Flynn, and entrepreneurial opportunities.

Kerr, who was the first Australian to become an Angel and originally replaced Giselle Bundchen, is not the only high-profile name absent from this year's line-up.
