Piercing and Tattoos:
 

Please remove any nose or tongue piercing. They are a distraction and should not be worn during competition or appearances. You should cover any tattoo that is large or on the upper body that shows. They will distract from the elegance of your attire and may cause you to get lower scores.  Judges are looking at the overall package.

Interview: 

Your attire should reflect a serious and focused woman. A nice suit or church dress is appropriate.  NO PANTS!  Choose a color that compliments your skin tone and a cut that is flattering and looks good sitting down. You want them to hear what you have to say not be distracted by what your wearing. This will be 25% of your score. Number on the right hip. No crown/banner.

Elegant Pant Wear:

This should be a nice pantsuit that you would wear to a cocktail party. Rhinestones and hats are allowed. The judges are looking at the entire package so you need to “own” the stage. Pick an outfit that is your personality and style. This will be 25% of your score. Number on the right hip. No crown/banner.

Evening Gown:

Your evening gown should graze the floor. Make sure that it is the same length all the way around- that it is not shorter in the back. The color should be appropriate for your skin tone and the design should be age appropriate. No see-through material, extreme plunging necklines or mile high slits. Your choice should represent a regal and stately refinement. This will be 25% of your score. Number on the right hip. No crown/banner.

On Stage Question:

After you finish modeling evening gown you will go to the back of the stage and pick a question out of a bowl on stage and the Emcee will read it out loud and you will have around 3 minutes to answer the question. Keep it to the point and don’t ramble. This will be 25% of your score.
