Jennifer Hawkins’ career evolution in photos: From cheerleader to Australian icon

Jennifer Hawkins has a story for-the-ages when it comes to her incredible career.

The model, now 39, came from very humble beginnings in Newcastle, where she worked as a model and a cheerleader for the Newcastle Knights, and burst onto the world stage when she was crowned Miss Universe in 2004 – which is no mean feat.

Since then, she has gone on to become a household name in the Australian fashion and modelling industry thanks to a 12-year gig as the face of Myer, a businesswoman with two brands under her belt, has built a budding property empire with husband Jake Wall and is a mother worth millions.
