Kimberley Busteed (born 4 June 1988) is an Australian beauty pageant titleholder who won Miss Universe Australia 2007 and represented Australia in the 2007 Miss Universe pageant. She is from Gladstone in Queensland, Australia[1] and is a former teen swimming champion and surf lifesaving competitor. In 2012 Busteed resumed her competitive swimming by competing in the Noosa Tri, swimming the 1500m ocean stretch for her team.[2]
While competing in Mexico during the Miss Universe 2007 contest, she was heavily criticized for wearing her "tacky" national costume. Some of Australia's top designers branded the red lifesaving themed costume as "trashy" and "nothing to do with Australia's culture". However she was endorsed by designers Wayne Cooper and Peter Morrissey in the same year.[3]
Busteed has worked extensively with the Leukaemia Foundation, inspired by the death of her brother at the age of 9.[4][5]
Near the end of 2008, Busteed obtained a position as a TV presenter on Channel 7's "Creek to Coast."[6][7]
