Miss England’s Winning Smile:
Grace Richardson Partners with S Dental & Aesthetics ahead of Miss World in VietnamAs the countdown begins to the 75th Anniversary of Miss World in Vietnam this August, Miss England 2026, Grace Richardson, is stepping up her preparations — and that includes perfecting one of her most powerful assets: her smile.
Grace has officially partnered with Dr Sonal Mandalia, Principal Dentist at S Dental & Aesthetics in Kibworth, who will be supporting her on her journey to the international stage.
A confident smile is essential not only on stage, but in the many appearances, interviews, and global engagements that come with representing England. For Grace, this partnership is about more than aesthetics — it’s about confidence, wellbeing, and feeling her very best.
Grace shared:
“As someone who’s always felt quite nervous about going to the dentist, Sonal helped me to feel instantly relaxed. My smile is a way of sharing my inner confidence so I’m excited to feel confident about the way my teeth look!”
Based in Kibworth, Leicestershire, S Dental & Aesthetics is known for its warm, patient-focused approach and exceptional clinical expertise. Leading the practice is Dr Sonal Mandalia (GDC No: 104124), a highly qualified dentist who graduated from King’s College London in 2006.
Dr Mandalia brings a wealth of experience across a wide range of treatments including:
Cosmetic dentistry and smile makeovers
Invisalign and orthodontics
Dental implants
Restorative and prosthodontic dentistry
Sedation dentistry for nervous patients
Facial aesthetics
Her friendly calm and compassionate approach makes her particularly popular with patients who may feel anxious — something Grace herself has experienced and overcome through this partnership.
The team at S Dental & Aesthetics emphasise a patient-first philosophy:
“Our S Dental & Aesthetics team have a wealth of professional experience and are experts in their fields. You are in safe hands with our highly qualified, friendly and approachable team. Your treatments and wellbeing is our focus.”
As Grace prepares to represent England on the world stage — a journey that includes the prestigious Beauty with a Purpose platform, talent and sports challenges, and global media appearances — having a trusted dental partner is a key part of her overall preparation.
This collaboration highlights the importance of self-care, confidence, and professional support behind the scenes of every Miss England journey. With Dr Sonal Mandalia’s expertise, Grace will be ready to shine with confidence when she arrives in Vietnam this August.

Lincolnshire’s Mary-Anna Jennings retains TWO title’s being crowned ‘We Do Ethical Queen’ & Miss Lincolnshire at Miss England Semi-Finals
8 months ago
— FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE —
Monday 6th October 2025
Lincolnshire, UK — October 4, 2025 — Local emergency responder Mary-Anna Jennings, a fire women from Lincolnshire has been crowned the ‘We Do Ethical Queen’ semi final winner at the Miss England 2025 Semi-Finals, held at The Grand Station, Wolverhampton, on Friday 3rd October.
Mary-Anna’s win secures her place in the Miss England National Final this November, where she will proudly represent her home county once again after winning the award and retaining her Miss Lincolnshire title.
Mary in her winning Potato Sack Outfit inspired by Marilyn Monroe
This year’s We Do Ethical Queen Award, presented by Kelly Levell, founder of We Do Ethical and the Miss England South West Regional Director, celebrated creativity and conscious fashion under the 1950s-inspired theme of “Body Positivity”.
Taking inspiration from Marilyn Monroe’s iconic 1950s potato sack dress, Mary-Anna created a stunning upcycled outfit made entirely from reused potato sacks sourced from her local Lincolnshire farm. Her design impressed judges with its innovation, message of sustainability, and clever nod to her county’s rich agricultural heritage.
She paired her hand-crafted corset with a flowing A-line skirt made from Tencel, one of the world’s most sustainable fabrics, produced at the UK’s only Tencel factory, based right in her hometown of Grimsby. Designed for rewear and longevity, the outfit represents circular fashion at its best.
Beyond the catwalk, Mary-Anna is a passionate advocate for environmental change in her community. She recently hosted a Fashion Swap Party at LUSH Lincoln, saving over 300 items of clothing from landfill. The equivalent of 1,800 kg of CO₂e saved. She also fundraised to plant 47 trees, offsetting an additional 2,679 kg of CO₂e, demonstrating her ongoing commitment to a more sustainable future.
Mary-Anna has pledged that her entire Miss England wardrobe will be 100% ethical this year, and local supporters will soon be able to see her winning design in person! It will be on display at Freshney Place Shopping Centre, Grimsby, from 28th October for three weeks.
Mary-Anna Jennings said:
“I feel so proud to have won this award in an outfit that represents Lincolnshire, Grimsby and my values so well. With our county known for agriculture, competing at a beauty pageant in a potato sack is wacky but wonderful! Partnering with local social enterprise, ‘What If We Create’ to screen print the corset and Grimsby’s Lenzing factory to use sustainable Tencel fabric also let me showcase my passion for equality, diversity and inclusion. I hope to continue doing the county proud when I represent it on the national stage at the Miss England finals in November.”
Kelly Levell, who has led the Ethical Fashion Award since 2014, added:
“Mary-Anna truly embodies what the We Do Ethical Queen Award stands for. Sustainability, compassion, and creativity. Her design was not only a nod to vintage glamour but also a bold statement on the power of sustainable fashion. She’s even adopted a planter bed at her local community garden, expanding our new ethical kitchen garden initiative nationally. She’s such an inspiring role model for young women everywhere.”

FEMALE GAMER & PhD Graduate wins the Miss London 2025 title !
8 months ago
PRESS RELEASE 8/10/ 2025
From “Waste of Time” to Top 10 Female Gamer in UK: Scientist Esports Star Charlotte Yeung Shines on ITV’s The Genius Game & now in Miss England as the new Miss London !
Charlotte Yeung, a 25-year-old PhD researcher and semi-professional esports player, is the new Miss London.
Having proved that gaming is far more than “just a hobby” after reaching 2nd place on ITV’s new prime-time show The Genius Game hosted by David Tennant.
Growing up, Charlotte’s passion for gaming was dismissed in her own household as “a waste of time.” Today, she has turned that passion into a celebrated achievement – ranking consistently in the Top 10 League of Legends players in the UK in her
primary role. Now she’s reached the first shortlist on the Miss England App for this year’s competition and hoping to win a place in the final by gaining the public support.
Alongside her esports career, Charlotte is pursuing a PhD in Drug Delivery, with her cutting-edge research focusing on developing sustainable systems using beneficial bacteria. She has represented her university in national competitions, competed in
both mixed-gender and female-only tournaments, and played in one of the highest- level female leagues in Europe.
Speaking about her journey, Charlotte said: “I am currently pursuing a PhD in Drug Delivery, where my research focuses on
developing innovative, sustainable solutions using beneficial bacteria. Alongside my academic career, I’ve also been a semi-professional League of Legends player for over half a decade, consistently ranking in the Top 10 position in my role within the
UK. I’ve represented my university, competed in mixed-gender and female-only tournaments, and played in one of the highest female calibre leagues in Europe. Gaming, which was once dismissed as ‘a waste of time’ in my household, has now
become one of my proudest achievements, teaching me teamwork, resilience, and strategy – skills that also strengthen my work in science. Balancing the worlds of research, esports, and pageantry has allowed me to show that intelligence and passion can thrive together in unexpected ways.” Now a Miss England Semi Finalist, Charlotte is determined to use her platform to challenge stereotypes and prove that gaming is not just for boys.
Charlotte is set to compete at the next Miss England Grand final which is being held on the 20th & 21st November the Grand Station Wolverhampton but if she wins the public vote she gains a place in the Miss England Grand final in November when the winner goes straight to the final of the 73 rd Miss World.
