Jennifer Hawkins was born on 22 December 1983 in Newcastle, Australia. She was the winner of the 2004 Miss Universe pageant in Quito, Ecuador on June 1. She was a former cheerleader for the Newcastle Knights rugby league team, and the Hunter Pirates basketball teams.
Shortly after being crowned Miss Universe in 2004, Hawkins created news during a fashion show at Westfield Miranda, an Australian shopping center, when she tripped on the hem of her dress, which fell to the floor. Hawkins was left in her g-string in front of a surprised crowd. Hawkins later apologized, laughingly adding she "wished she wore better underwear".
