Jennifer Hawkins brought a whole new meaning to 'statement jewellery' on Thursday.
The former Miss Universe, 34, arrived at the Doncaster Mile Luncheon in Sydney wearing a $3million white diamond headpiece.
The bespoke design, by jeweller Nic Cerrone, is reportedly the most expensive fascinator ever created in Australia.

Jennifer, who discussed her 'magnificent' headpiece earlier that day on Today Extra, looked stunning as she arrived at the exclusive event.
The model and businesswoman, from Newcastle, NSW, wore a one shoulder top over a pair of matching white trousers and high heels.
She styled her blonde hair in loose waves and accessorised with a pair of diamond earrings that complemented her headpiece.

Speaking to Today Extra ahead of the luncheon at The Star, Jennifer described her luxury accessory as 'so magnificent'.
'I'm happy to have it on my head but it will be nice to take it off and look at it too!' she told hosts Ben Fordham and Sonia Kruger.
The 122-carat headpiece took a staggering 94 hours to make, she claimed.

When asked if Jennifer would be happy to 'loan' the headpiece to Megan Markle for her wedding to Prince Harry, Jennifer said she was happy to oblige.
'Even though it's not mine to lend, sure!' she laughed.
Jennifer won the Miss Universe beauty pageant in 2004, later going on to become one of Australia's most successful models and brand ambassadors.
