STAR STRUCK eventuate “in about a year and a half”, she’s also a part-time shoe designer, lending her name and design nous to the Siren Shoes’ JLH collection, accompanied by a sexy ad campaign. That’s the great thing about Jen. Just when you think you have her pegged, she’ll take her gear off for a women’s mag (Australian Marie Claire), sizzle in a shoot for a men’s mag (the inaugural Maxim Australian edition), and then smile — all seductive, yet sweet — for Myer’s latest collection. On the night of her launch party in honour of Cozi, held at PR mogul Max Markson’s palatial home in Sydney’s Dover Heights, Jen is pure glamazon. In a sea of beauties, she’s still the one who stands out. Not only does she tower over the crowd 036 JENNIFER HAWKINS’ FAVOURITE HOLIDAY SPOTS WESTERN AUSTRALIA: We did a location shoot for Myer earlier this year at the Cervantes and Jurien Bay region, two hours north of Perth. There are these beautiful rock formations called the Pinnacles that are just breathtaking. It’s where we shot the current Myer spring/ summer campaign. BYRON BAY: I love going to Byron. It’s so peaceful. I do love going to Wategos Beach, but when I hear the click of a [paparazzi] photographer’s lens, it gets a bit distracting! In a sea of beauties, she’s still the one who stands out Jen is no slouch in the gym and eats healthily to maintain her body — she impresses with a chic get-up of hipskimming skirt, white man-style shirt, cheeky Cozi bikini top peeking from her fl awless body, and sky-high heels — she positively glows (as does her hard-to-miss engagement bauble from Jake, bought from renowned celebrity jeweller Nic Cerrone). About that body: she’s no slouch in the gym. “I run four times a week, I do Pilates twice a week, I even do sit-ups, too. I eat healthily as well. Sure, I indulge occasionally, but I really like looking after myself.” Her regime, she is adamant, is devoid of surgery of any sort. She dismisses recent claims from a fellow beauty queen that she has gone under the knife. “None of that talk bothers me. Of course I look diff erent from 2004. I was so young — that was seven years ago!” she says, defl ecting any speculation with a laugh. She remains very close to her family. Newcastle born and bred, Jens’ family still lives in the area and she goes back as often as possible. “I just love everything about that place. My family, the memories I have growing up there, how relaxed I feel when I’m back. It truly is the best feeling in the world. I love hanging with the Hawkos,” she says with a hearty laugh.
