She’s the former Miss Universe who’s no stranger to experiencing the finer things in life.
So what better person to showcase Australia’s most expensive headpiece than Jennifer Hawkins.
The model showed off the glittering $3million design by jeweler Nic Cerrone during an appearance on Today Extra on Thursday.

Jennifer was asked to wear the piece as part of her Spring Racing Ambassador commitments.
But she wasn’t allowed to walk around with it alone, telling Today Extra hosts Ben Fordham and Sonia Kruger that she had a ‘huge security guy’ standing nearby.
‘It is just so magnificent,’ Jennifer said.
‘I’m happy to have it on my head but it will be nice to take it off and look at it too.’
The headpiece, which appears to be a hybrid between a crown and a headband, boasts 122 carats and took a whopping 94 hours to make.
