All set for Miss Universe frills 'n' spills



MISS Australia Scherri-Lee Biggs is putting together her campaign for the Miss Universe competition that will be held in Brazil in September.

Biggs was in Melbourne with Spanish shoe designer Angel Azorin in her new role as an ambassador for Nova shoes.

Her evening-wear dress for the big competition will be a creation by Sydney designer Sylvia Lee and her national dress will be made by Perth swimwear label Kooey.

Biggs, who has a Melbourne connection with boyfriend Lachlan Smith, said it had finally sunk in she was Miss Australia.

"It was a bit overwhelming at the beginning but I've settled in now," she said.

"I'm really enjoying it and, if this is like the rest of the year is like, then I'm looking forward to it."

Like previous Miss Australias, Biggs hopes to have a career in television once the pageant is over.

Modest miss to do us proud



MISS Universe Australia, Scherri-Lee Biggs, says she wants to make Perth proud but admits she isn't perfect.

Biggs, 20, arrived home on Friday night for the first time since she won her title on July 7. In less than three weeks she's off again in the lead-up to the Miss Universe final in Brazil on September 12, saying yesterday she'd be working hard to achieve her "best body".

Biggs spent the past week in Melbourne with Spanish shoe designer Angel Azorin in her new role as an ambassador for Novo shoes.

Her evening wear for the big competition will be created by Sydney designer Sylvia Lee and her national dress by Perth swimwear label Kooey.

Biggs said her main aim for the contest was to make Australia proud, but wanted everyone to know she wasn't perfect.

"I try to portray as much as I can who I am, I'm not a perfect person," she said. "I'm imperfect and I want people to understand that, so that if I slip up everyone knows that I'm normal.

"If I'm popping down to Karrinyup, I can promise you I'm not going to be wearing heels and all done up. I just want to keep living my life the way I have."

But she still wants to look her best and plenty of exercise is on the cards.

"I haven't had much time to step it up, but this week is when I'm going to," Biggs said.

"I hate sitting there and thinking of exercise, but I like to do pilates and I was thinking of joining the Miss Universe girls for some boxing."

Her mother Annelize, father Mel and long-term boyfriend Lachy Smith will join her on the trip to Brazil.

Scherri-Lee Biggs looked every inch the beauty queen when she arrived at her official Homecoming Breakfast in Perth yesterday.

The reigning Miss Universe Australia glowed in a GASP dress and Novu shoes as she posed for Access All Areas on the waterfront in Mosman Park.

At the event at Mosmans Restaurant, Biggs was effervescent as she mingled with friends, family, media and local sponsors and organisers of Miss Universe WA.

It has been a whirlwind ride for the Watermans Bay beauty since she won the Australian title on July 7.

"It has been almost three weeks but it feels like four days," Biggs said.

The former St Mary's Anglican Girls' School student said she loved spending time with her family and being back in her old bed at her parents' house.

It's something she will enjoy for the week while she takes some time off to catch up with friends before heading up to Darwin next weekend for the races.

"When you land in Perth you certainly get that warm fuzzy feeling of how exciting it is to be home."

The 20-year-old will fly to Brazil in three weeks for preliminary events and appearances before the Miss Universe grand final in Sao Paulo on September 12.

Now, my favorite... I love her!! She's so fresh n gorgeous!

The face - and body of abi and joseph and now Australian Winner and entrant for Miss Universe, held later this year in Sao Paulo, Brazil, catches up with Erin Hoey to share, well, "all those things we all want to know about" a top model...

Scherri, you are a compelling beauty! Of all the campaigns we’ve run, never has there been such response from both men and women alike. Tell us - apart from DNA – what’s your secret to keeping in shape and looking good?

First of all... Thank you for such a flattering intro... (Laughs)
I’m certainly not a person to keep a strict regime of diet and exercise week in, week out, it’s just not in my nature to be that way (although sometimes I wish I could). I simply try to stick to three guidelines in managing my appearance.
Firstly; I change up my exercise, I find things I like and try to do one or two of these things a day. I do things like running or walking on the beach, a Pilates class, a boxing session or a cycle down the coast. I’m not sure if it’s just my body, but it seems to respond well to variety.



With diet I eat for my health. I like reading up on nutrition and knowing the effects it has on my health and body, rather than weight. I try to eat my 2 fruit and 5 veg a day, with the added protein it ends up being really filling and I run out of space for all the naughty stuff. I also drink lots of water with chlorophyll or lemon to cleanse.

The last and most important thing is to be happy!! I always find ways of relaxing or picking myself up when I’m down. When I’m not in good spirits I find it rather difficult to exercise and eat healthy. When you’re happy there’s always a certain glow about you and all three work coherently in keeping me positive and healthy.



What do you consider your greatest achievement?

This is always a difficult question, I’m so young and haven’t had enough time to do something ‘great’ haha, but I guess mine would just generally be travelling and working away. I first left Perth when I was 17 to work in Sydney for a few months and then onto Germany for a few more. Now that I look back I think it was quite brave to have moved to a city alone and I don’t remember being very frightened of the idea. I have realised now though why my mum didn’t sleep very much then. (Laughs)

If you could come back as any other living person or ‘thing’ what would it be?!

My dog, Monty... He gets insane amounts of attention in a house of girls and is living the dream (Laughs yet again!)

Let’s talk handbags! Scherri, what 5 items do you always keep close on hand?

My iPhone! I know what a terrible ‘must have’ item, but my entire life is on there and I would probably stop functioning without it
Kalahari Soothing Hand Balm- It’s this yummy hand cream, with scents and ingredients sourced from the Kalahari Desert.

A big bottle of water and chlorophyll

At the moment, a book called ‘Half the Sky’ by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. Not a light read, but definitely a must read. It’s something I feel quite passionately about.

A small bottle of either L’eau D’ Issey by Issey Miyake or Gucci by Gucci to freshen up



Your greatest extravagance?

I’m pretty frugal, so not many extravagances this end. But I’d probably say shoes.. How very typically girly of me, but I’d buy a beautiful pair of shoes over a pretty dress any day. I like to think of it as a work expense though (laughs)

Any vices?

Put a bag of natural confectionary party mix in front of me and you won’t get the chance to share. I’ve had to just completely stop myself from buying them. I can’t do just one or two at a time, it’s all or nothing!

Modelling. Your Loves and Loathes of the job?

I love the excitement and uncertainty, at the beginning of every year I get tingles thinking of what they year might hold for me, where I’ll be and what I might be doing.

It’s not an easy job, as most might think, it definitely has plenty of aspects to loathe, but I think... If you get beyond those, you must love it
The hardest thing is being away from your loved ones and being alone in a foreign city.

Most exotic destination you have travelled to?

On Safari in South Africa. There is something so amazing about being on Safari, it’s so different and you feel you’re a million miles away from everything else.

Tell us, how often do you break a sweat in the name of fitness?

As I said I’m definitely not the best person at keeping a regime and it’s particularly hard when you travel between cities. However my goal is to get out and do one thing a day. Even if it’s just a walk, it usually sparks me into doing something else or at least relaxes me and prepares me for my day ahead.

What do you wish you had more time to do?

I wish I had the time to join a dance school. I used to dance ballet, contemporary and Spanish quite seriously until I was 15. I think I would enjoy taking up something fun like Salsa.

I also would like to paint a bit more. It’s not relaxing at all, I don’t know who ever said that, but it’s this great feeling of accomplishment at the end of it that I love.



Tell us, what ticks you off?

People who like to tell you how much money they have. Money's important to me and I enjoy working hard for it, but there’s no trait more ugly on a person or just quite boring to listen to really.

You’ve recently started Pilates, have you noticed any changes in your body?

Oh wow... Pilates, where have you been all my life? It’s amazing! It’s that fine tuning effect that looks and feels so good. I saw quite a difference on the lower of my tummy and that little lift of the bum. The thing I loved most about it though was the euphoric feeling I got when I left the class.

Indulge us, what is your favourite abi and joseph piece and why?

I love the ballet wrap tops... Maybe it’s the ex-ballerina coming out in me, but the material is so soft and luxurious, I’d want to wear it all day! The black looks especially elegant and sophisticated.

We hear you’re not the only gorgeous one in your family! There are sisters too?

Yes I have two sisters, we’re 6 years apart. There’s Shae who is 26 and recently engaged, and my little sister who turned 15 last week. We’re all very close.
I have a beautiful, very elegant mum, Liz, who never ceases to inspire me and an extremely handy/capable Dad, who sometimes cracks under the pressure of a girly household.
He does however have his son to turn to... the lovely and fluffy little Monty Biggs, who gets sooo much attention from all us girls, he can do no wrong!

Kids have fun with Scherri-LeeACCESS ALL AREAS, The West Australian
July 28, 2011, 9:40 am



Perth beauty and reigning Miss Universe Australia Scherri-Lee Biggs took time out of her week off at home to visit some special sick kids at Princess Margaret Hospital.

The sunny blonde, who took out the national final of the beauty contest earlier this month and is currently in Perth for some downtime after her big win, is an ambassador for children's charity ToyBox International.

She dropped in to the hospital to visit the kids and deliver some goodies.

Biggs spent time with some of the children on the wards doing arts and crafts - homemade cupcakes in hand - before heading to the Starlight Express Room for the filming of a live makeover of Captain Starlight, which was broadcast through the hospital to all the rooms.

The 20-year-old will fly to Brazil in three weeks for preliminary events and appearances before the Miss Universe grand final in Sao Paulo on September 12.

And for those Perth girls wanting to follow in her footsteps, registration for Miss Universe WA 2012 is now open at pinktankevents.com.au.

This is a sample dress for fitting purposes only.

Thank you for posting! I missed it this morning but it was great to see that basic design, even though it's not the real thing. She looks so beautiful and so sweet
