In Brisbane, Miranda attended All Hallows’ School, where she graduated in 2000. Her first brush with fame came when she was just 13. She won the 1997 annual Dolly magazine model competition and had a photo shoot for the cover. Due to her young age, there was some controversy, especially about her bathing suit pictures. She later commented: “In the media at the time they were trying to cling on to anything remotely to do with pedophilia. Dolly is a magazine for teenage girls, not for old men. And I was fully clothed! Doing a winter shoot! They just made something out of nothing.”
