Slightly pervily, perhaps, Miller was first snapped from afar by top Peruvian fashion photographer Mario Testino while she was surfing in California in 2001. The blonde clearly made an impression, and she was soon modelling tiny undies for Victoria's Secret and then signing up with Sports Illustrated, where she has become as firm a fixture in their annual Swimsuit issue as the glue that binds it together.
A huge fan of surfing, she also plays volleyball and is into American football, NASCAR and boxing, Welshman Joe Calzhage especially. Perhaps unsurprisingly, then, she likes her music loud and screeching: one of her favourite bands is Californian growlers The Deftones and the first album she bought was by Nirvana.
