Shooting some hoops: Miranda Kerr wore a pair of gold metallic shorts as she dressed up as a basketball player for a shoot in NYC on Thursday

As one of the world's most in demand supermodels, she's used to having to wear an endless stream of weird and wonderful outfits.
And Thursday was no different for Miranda Kerr as she embraced her inner Michael Jordan for a basketball-inspired fashion shoot for Vogue magazine.
Trying out her ball skills in a pair of tiny gold shorts and a red T-shirt, the 30-year-old took over a court in New York City for the day as she tried to shoot some hoops.

New skill set: The in demand model got into the spirits of the shoot for American Vogue, trying her hand at some dribbling

The mother-of-one, who had left husband Orlando Bloom and son Flynn back in LA, proved that she really is multi-talented as she stepped into character as a basketball pro.

Getting the look just right, Miranda tucked the maroon Michael Kors T-shirt into the waistband of the tiny pair of metallic shorts, rolling up the sleeves.
In true sporting style she added sweat bands on her wrists and around her forehead and wore red safety pads on her knees.

In control: Miranda seemed a dab hand with the basketball, bouncing it up and down and throwing it around like a pro

Careful! Perhaps getting a little too confident, the model nearly dropped the ball at one point as it slipped between her fingers

The model added a pair of white and grey tube socks pulled up high, paired with blue wedge trainers by the same designer.
Clearly at top of her game, the star looked completely at ease with the shoot, taking it all in her stride and getting into the character.
And in between shots, Miranda played around with the basketball she was holding, throwing it up in the air and attempting to dribble it around the court.

Next Michael Jordan? The supermodel threw her ball up and down in the air wearing the outfit designed by Michael Kors

Perk of the job? After the shoot Miranda got changed but kept on the gold jewelery that she'd been modelling

That's more like it: The star slipped out of her basketball attire and into a pair of ripped jeans and a loose-fitting top
