Jennifer Hawkins Encourages Positive Body Image

The February 2010 issue of the Australian version of Marie Claire magazine reveals the ‘naked truth’ as model Jennifer Hawkins not only poses nude but the photo is untouched. The Miss Universe 2004 agreed to do the photo to encourage positive attitudes to body image and also to support the Butterfly Foundation; an organization that helps Australian girls with eating disorders. She did confess that before hand she never could have done such a shoot where her cellulite is revealed as well as some minor rolls around the waistline. She said,

“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 modeling industry. I did it for the experience… It felt quite sensual and sexy. I felt empowered.”

Inside the magazine Jennifer talks candidly about her rise to fame and even though she’s naturally thin she gives great detail about her strict diet and strenuous daily workouts. Marie Claire follows in the footsteps of magazines like Glamour and V as well as Bettina Liano Jeans, who are trying to show what ‘real women’ look like.
