Kaiane is 1.74 m (5 ft 8+1⁄2 in) tall, she has brown hair and brown eyes. As with most Gibraltarians she is bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish. She enjoys playing netball and training at the gym.
She has been a dancer since the age of 14, and has experience performing locally and abroad. She has performed in Gibraltar and Spain, and has trained in Modern, Hiphop, Contemporary and Commercial styles. The highlight of her dancing career, and an experience she has mentioned for many Miss World interviews, has been when she participated at the 2009 International Dance Organisation World Showdance Championships, in Riesa, Germany, where she represented Gibraltar in the Formation category as part of the Gibraltar National Dance Team. They obtained a 17th place, and made history by being the first time Gibraltar passed the first round, in the Formation category.

Miss Gibraltar 2009:
On 27 June 2009, Aldorino was crowned Miss Gibraltar 2009, succeeding Krystle Robba, during a beauty pageant held at the Alameda Open Air Theatre.

Miss World 2009:
Aldorino made history on the 12 December 2009 by becoming the first ever Miss Gibraltar to be crowned Miss World. She was also the first Gibraltarian contestant to have reached the beauty pageant's semifinals after receiving the title of Miss World Beach Beauty.
Shortly after Aldorino was crowned by her predecessor, Ksenia Sukhinova of Russia, Gibraltar burst into celebration as many Gibraltarians took to the streets. The masses waved the Flag of Gibraltar and chanted in jubilation as cars hooted their horns and fireworks were set off. Chief Minister of Gibraltar Peter Caruana hailed her win as a "wonderful achievement for her and for Gibraltar" and promised a "homecoming fit for a queen".

Homecoming :
On 15 December 2009, the Government of Gibraltar announced Kaiane would be flown into Gibraltar from London on a private jet the following afternoon. On 16 December 2009, the Government issued a press release in which it detailed the events that would take place upon Kaiane's arrival. These included a public greeting at Gibraltar Airport a parade through Main Street, where Kaiane would ride in the same open-top car as Princess Diana and Prince Charles during their honeymoon visit to Gibraltar. On 17 December 2009 Gibraltar came to a standstill as she paraded down Main Street preceded by the band of the Royal Gibraltar Regiment and then appeared at the City Hall balcony. This was followed by a press conference and reception at the Rock Hotel. The celebrations culminated with a fireworks display from Gibraltar Harbour.
The Government also requested all businesses in Gibraltar who were reasonably able to do so to close between 4pm and 6pm on this day to allow their staff to take part in the welcoming celebrations.
