Which year was the Australian model Jennifer Hawkins crowned Miss Universe?

Jennifer Hawkins (born 22 December 1983) is an Australian model, television presenter and former beauty queen best known for being crowned Miss Universe Australia and later the same year Miss Universe 2004. She is currently the host of Australia's Next Top Model, face of Australian department store Myer, Lovable Intimates, Mount Franklin Lightly Sparkling and Range Rover.

She is the founder and CEO of two successful brands, Cozi by Jennifer Hawkins swimwear and Jbronze tanning line, and manages a portfolio of properties.

Before participating in Miss Universe 2004, Hawkins sought advice from the previous Miss Australia, Ashlea Talbot, who represented Australia in the 2003 competition, and learned basic Spanish prior to travelling to Ecuador.

The Miss Universe pageant was held in Quito, Ecuador, on 1 June 2004. A week prior to the event, during the final competition, she became the first Australian to make the semi-finals since Voni Delfos in 1993. Hawkins was the second winner from Oceania since Lorraine Downes of New Zealand held the title in 1983, and the second Australian since Kerry Anne Wells who was crowned in Dorado, Puerto Rico in 1972 (coincidentally both women were crowned in Spanish speaking countries).

Hawkins was crowned by outgoing titleholder Amelia Vega from the Dominican Republic, after being announced by host Billy Bush as the "thunder from down under".
