Miranda

Playboy Muse, October 2021

Miranda Bio

Miranda is a British Burlesque performer, costume designer, adult and glamour model. Born Miranda Barrie on July 7, 1994, in London, United Kingdom, she has also been credited as Miss Miranda. She appeared as a Playboy Muse in October 2021 at 27. Her appearance came during Playboy's contemporary era of international and digital publishing.

Miranda has enhanced breasts, green eyes and red hair. Her measurements are 33-24-36.

Miranda’s route to Playboy began long before she ever stepped onto one of its sets. A lifelong performer, she trained in musical theater, dance and design from her teens and began performing professionally at 17. Costume was always part of the fascination: she was drawn not simply to being onstage, but to the way clothing, styling and character could transform a performance.

Burlesque became the natural meeting point for those interests. Miranda discovered the form in 2003 while searching online for retro and pin-up imagery, and the work of longtime Playboy artist Olivia De Berardinis became an important influence. She was particularly attracted to the confidence of De Berardinis’s women—the sense that they were enjoying the attention and remained firmly in control of the image. That attitude would later inform both Miranda’s stage work and her modeling.

Her career eventually carried her from Britain to the United States. After being invited to perform in The Burlesque Show at the Borgata in Atlantic City, Miranda relocated to America in 2015 and established herself in Los Angeles. She also became a familiar Playboy presence before her Muse feature, spending more than a year as a regular cast member of The Playboy Morning Show.

For Miranda, performance, modeling and costume design are all parts of the same creative life. She has described the expression of her sexuality—and retaining ownership over how that image is presented and monetized—as a feminist act. That philosophy made Playboy more than another modeling assignment. Having associated the brand for years with artistic freedom and the pin-up imagery that first inspired her, she described being chosen for Playboy as a genuine dream fulfilled.

Her appearance therefore completed a particularly neat circle: the teenager fascinated by performance became a burlesque artist and costume designer, the admirer of Playboy illustration became part of Playboy television, and eventually the lifelong performer stepped in front of the brand’s cameras herself.
