EXCLUSIVE: Jennifer Hawkins interview
She’s nothing if not a minx. Here, Jennifer Hawkins channels Brigitte Bardot. Did we say sex kitten? Meow!
“I want it to be sexy!” squeals Jennifer Hawkins as she arrives glowing and ready-for-glam at a photo shoot celebrating the Sensual Sixties. As if it would be anything else with Australia’s much-loved Miss Universe winner, who always seems to pull off a beguiling blend of sexiness and down-to-earth charm with effortless ease.

She can steam up the camera with a glance and a turn of her head – as she does on this gorgeous Sydney morning in a harbourside penthouse, where we’ve asked her to channel the inimitable spirit of Sixties siren Brigitte Bardot while showing off the best off the latest fashion from Myer, who have struck gold with their choice of fashion ambassador. In looks and style, she brings to mind no one so much as that other national icon of the catwalk, Elle Macpherson, and Jennifer herself gives the grande dame of Australian modeling the nod when asked to list her role models and inspirations.
Jennifer Hawkins Covergirl exclusive “I love what she’s done with the business side of things,” Jennifer says, as she ponders where her own career might take her. “I love to try different things, meet different people. I wouldn’t make any comparisons between us, but I do love the idea of pursuing the business side of things.”
At just 25, she is already thinking about the long-term future, knowing that in this industry above all others, youth can’t last forever. Or can it, in these days of easy access to plastic surgery and Botox, when even ordinary women in less rarefied jobs think about having “work” done?
Jennifer says worries about ageing – about losing her extraordinary looks – “don’t weigh on my mind”.
“I don’t think too much about it,” she says, telling Grazia that she hasn’t had anything done and can’t see herself doing so. ‘I think you just have to be true to yourself, accept who you are, and as you go through life accept that there are going to be changes to your body. There are different stages to life. I find it really exciting!”
And what of other celebrities and models who do succumb to the surgeon’s knife? ‘No judgement,” she insists. “I don’t judge anybody for what they do.”
Her life has certainly been exciting up until now, most notably when she burst into the national consciousness in 2004 as the first Australian Miss Universe winner in more than 30 years. No less an expert than pageant boss Donald Trump let the world know she was something special with his observation that she was “the most beautiful Miss Universe I have seen in many, many years”.
Big expectations to live up to, but Jennifer has taken it all in her stride, adding several television credits to her bow and even managing to absorb the ongoing hurricane of public attention with consummate grace. She is still in regular touch with Trump – “not every week, but we stay in contact” – and he remains “very supportive” of her career.
And she remains seriously attached to fellow model Jake Wall, her partner of five years. “It’s going really good,” she confides, adding that the attention of gossip columnists and paparazzi goes with the territory. “You know it’s going to happen so you just live with it. You get used to it,” she says with a shrug.
All in all, she insists, “I love what I’m doing!”
Today that means getting in touch with her inner Sixties sex kitten, and with Bardot films on the big screen TV throughout the shoot for inspiration, Jennifer manages to channel the French icon with typical ease.
And she might continue to find Bardot inspiration in years to come. Like Bardot – who famously gave up her glamorous career to become a renowned animal rights activist - Jennifer says she’d love to devote her energies to doing charity work for the RSPCA.
“I just love animals,” she says. For now, her would-be menagerie consists only of just a chocolate Burmese named Coco, but she has her heart set on another four-legged sidekick. “I want a Staffie,” she says.
And long-term, she has clear plans to expand that brood with some maternal additions. “By the time I’m 35 I’d love to have a family and be set up in a home by the beach.”
Don't forget to pick up this week's issue of Grazia with Angelina Jolie and Diane Kruger on the cover for your exclusive 15% off on Aussie designers at MYER. Find out how on page 134.

Great body!
They're no going to let dear Hawko get away!! 
SHE'S the girl next door with the seven-figure smile.
And Jennifer Hawkins had every reason to smile after signing a new multi-million-dollar deal as the face of retail giant Myer.
The deal, which was struck in the early hours of Wednesday morning, will see Hawkins pocket more than $1 million a year for the next four years, the Herald Sun reports.
"I am so excited. It is just a dream come true," the former Miss Universe said.
"I could not believe it when Myer approached me about a month ago. I still had 12 months to go on my contract, and they approached me early.
"They put forward an amazing offer, full of amazing opportunities, and I have signed for four years. I am ecstatic."
Five years ago Hawkins, 25, was making $70 a game as a bright and bouncy cheerleader in Newcastle.
Then Hawkins won the Miss Universe title. Now she is Jen Inc, with the Myer deal the jewel in the crown of a corporate portfolio that includes hefty contracts with Lovable lingerie, Covergirl cosmetics, Audi and Channel 7.
"I am passionate about Myer. They are like family and I am honoured that the relationship is continuing," Hawkins said.
"I feel like a part of the company, a part of the team.
"I work hard and put in 100 per cent.
"It is great that I can sign on for these next four years. It is like a weight off my shoulders."
Hawkins was estimated to have earned $3.3 million in the 2007-08 financial year from her various commitments. She has also been investing in real estate, with her largest purchase a $2.3 million home in the Sydney beachside suburb of Coogee.
And she has also been issued valuable shares in the Myer business.
Hawkins said she was comfortable with the Jen Inc label.
"I do not have tickets on myself, but I would love to embrace it."
Manager Sean Anderson said Hawkins was a treasure.
"She is honest, she is hard working, and she is absolutely beautiful. What brand would not want to be associated with Jennifer Hawkins," he said.
"The deal is a testament to her hard work and her longevity."
The deal with Hawkins comes amid rumours that Myer will today announce its intention to relist on the stock exchange, making it the biggest public float in Australia in recent years.
