The 24-year-old beautiful waitress Sophie Laver from Canberra, was crowned Miss World Australia 2009 by beating 19 other beautiful contestants at a beauty pageant, which was held at Star City in Sydney on July 22, 2009.

The beauties were judged in categories including best talent, healthy body image and sports and fitness.

The panel of judges of the beauty pageant comprises the three doyennes of Australian etiquette Jane Ferguson, Lady Sonia McMahon and June Dally-Watkins.

According to Lavers, it makes no different in her life after winning the title, she said: “I’ll still get up and probably have peanut butter on toast for breakfast but after that I’m not sure what’s happening.”

Lavers is completing an acting course and the aspiring actress wishes to work in the television or film industry.

She will represent Australia at the Miss World contest in Johannesburg, South Africa, on December 12.
