Jennifer Hawkins: Hawkins was born in
Holmesville, New South Wales, Australia currently residing in Newcastle and
attended West Wallsend High School as the oldest daughter to parents of
Australian heritage. Hawkins was a former cheerleader for the Newcastle Knights
rugby league team and the Hunter Pirates basketball team and also worked as a
model. It was as a model that she was cast as Miss Australia for the Miss
Universe competition. Hawkins also worked as a choreographer for a dance team
that toured Australia specialising in Hip-Hop and Ballet.
Career
Miss Universe
After being selected to represent Australia in the internationally televised
Miss Universe 2004, Hawkins sought advice from previous titleholder Ashlea
Talbot, and learned basic Spanish prior to travelling to Ecuador.
The Miss Universe pageant was held in Quito, Ecuador on 1 June 2004. A week
prior to the event, Hawkins was ranked sixth favourite to win the crown. During
the final competition, Hawkins became the first Australian to make the
semi-finals since Voni Delfos in 1993. She then proceeded to the top ten after
competing in the evening gown competition, where she wore an unusual vintage
copper gown that was designed by Bora and cost AU$25,000.[6] After the swimsuit
competition, Hawkins advanced to the top five, and eventually won the Miss
Universe title. The remaining top five were all delegates from the Americas and
Caribbean, including Shandi Finnessey of the USA (1st runner-up), Alba Reyes of
Puerto Rico (2nd runner-up), Yanina Gonzalez of Paraguay (3rd runner-up) and
Danielle Jones of Trinidad and Tobago (4th runner-up). Hawkins was the first
winner from Oceania since Lorraine Downes of New Zealand held the title in 1983,
and the first Australian since Kerry Anne Wells in 1972.
Hawkins was crowned by outgoing titleholder Amelia Vega from the Dominican
Republic, after famously being announced by host Billy Bush as the "thunder from
down under". Pageant co-owner Donald Trump described Hawkins as "the most
beautiful Miss Universe I have seen in many, many years".
Hawkins received an elaborate Mikimoto pearl encrusted crown, worth $250,000 as
well as an extensive prize package. Hawkins was the first blonde haired woman to
win the title since Angela Visser of the Netherlands in 1989.
As Miss Universe, Hawkins represented the Miss Universe Organization. Her
"sister" 2004 titleholders were Shelley Hennig (Miss Teen USA, of Louisiana) and
Shandi Finnessey (Miss USA, of Missouri). During her reign, Hawkins travelled to
Korea, The Bahamas, Brazil, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Singapore,
Indonesia, Canada, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, India, Ecuador, Mexico, Puerto
Rico, had multiple trips to Thailand, the host of Miss Universe 2005, and her
home country of Australia. As part of her year-long reign as Miss Universe, she
resided in New York City in a riverside apartment provided by the Miss Universe
Organization. Also during her reign as Miss Universe, Hawkins stated that her
wish was to continue modelling and become a television presenter.
Shortly after being crowned Miss Universe in 2004, Hawkins created news during a
fashion show at Westfield Miranda, an Australian shopping centre, when she
tripped on the hem of her dress, which fell to the floor. Hawkins was left in
her red thong in front of a surprised crowd. Hawkins later apologized,
laughingly adding she "wished she wore better underwear". The incident received
the dubious distinction of being named "The most embarrassing moment ever shown
on Australian television" by Australia's Nine Network. The "Wardrobe
malfunction" was widely circulated through news outlets as well as the
blogosphere, and according to Google, caused a sharp increase in internet
searches for "Jennifer Hawkins".

world. When she ended her reign as Miss Universe, she became a regular presenter
on the show, which resulted in a 2006 Logie nomination for Most Popular New
Female Talent.

with the Stars and was the fifth celebrity eliminated after Alicia Molik. On
February 15, 2006 she was in a celebrity version of Deal or No Deal called
Dancing with the Deal which featured celebrities from Dancing with the Stars.
She won $2,000 after refusing every deal.
Hawkins is featured as the love interest of Australian artist, Guy Sebastian in
the music video for the second single off his third album, "Elevator Love". She
has made cameo appearances in multiple episodes of The Apprentice with Donald
Trump. Hawkins turned down the role of Sophie Solandres in the Pink Panther 2
