Miranda Kerr helps launch new Aussie Oscars in a very leggy dress

She's the biggest model to come out of Australia since Elle Macpherson in the Eighties.
So it was no surprise to see Miranda Kerr was one of the star guests at the inaugural Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA) Awards today.
The Victoria's Secret pin-up, 28, guaranteed plenty of publicity for the new awards as she arrived at the Sydney Opera House in a sexy bronze dress slit-to-the-thigh.

Kerr was one of several big Australian names to present an award at the new ceremony, which replaces the former AFI Film Awards.
