Former Miss Universe bares all for Marie Claire

Jennifer Hawkins naked on the cover of Marie Claire

Jennifer Hawkins, the Australian beauty who was crowned Miss Universe 2004, appears both naked and unretouched on the cover of marie claire’s February issue, on sale January 6, to encourage positive attitudes to body image and support the Butterfly Foundation.

In an exclusive 5 page feature, Jen not only reveals her amazing body but also the pressures she faced since being crowned Miss Universe in 2004 and rising to fame.

In Marie Claire’s exclusive interview, Jennifer Hawkins confesses that she never could have done a shoot like this two years ago.

“I would have been worried about what people thought, whether it was the right decision – a thousand different things… But over the past year and a half I’ve grown into myself, and I’m more confident and comfortable within the modelling industry. I did it for the experience… It felt quite sensual and sexy. I felt empowered”.

While naturally slim, and with a body most of us would do just about anything for – Jen tells marie claire about the hard work that goes into her success, which includes keeping her body in great condition through regular exercise and a balanced diet. Jen speaks candidly about the highs and lows she has experienced in her rise to fame and her plans for the future, which includes moving in with her boyfriend Jake Wall in the year to come.

The February issue of marie claire is on sale from January 6 in Australia.
