Twenty-three years after she exploded onto the scene in the hit noughties Aussie film Looking for Alibrandi, you don’t have to search too far to find Pia Miranda. In fact, she’s impossible to miss.
As well as taking a spin around the floor on Dancing with the Stars in June, the actress has roles in two Network 10 dramas hitting the screen this year, Riptide and Heat, and let’s not forget her newly released memoir, Finding My Bella Vita.
Just like her iconic character, Josie Alibrandi, Miranda too is coming of age. She recently hit a massive milestone, turning 50 on June 15 – but one day to celebrate just wasn’t enough for Miranda, who is dedicating the whole calendar to herself. “It’s the year of me,” the star tells WHO.
“I had such a beautiful week of heading out to lots of lunches with different family members, I’m planning a trip to the Gold Coast with my five best friends from high school and I headed to Milan with [Survivor co-star and Boost Juice founder] Janine [Allis] – so it’s actually been quite a lot,” she says of the celebrations with a laugh.
And there is a lot to celebrate! At a time when some people might think of slowing down, Miranda is busier than ever and thanks to her stint on Dancing, she’s possibly in the best shape of her life – as our exclusive photoshoot with the star shows.
“I think the lead up to turning 50 was a little weird in the sense that it really felt like it snuck up on me,” Miranda explains. “I’ve been really happy to just embrace it, though. Getting older is just such a privilege, I guess, in the sense that I know a lot of people who didn’t get to make it. So I feel very grateful.”
