Banking Audit / Model/ Dancer/ Founder of Beyond the Box

Interesting Fact
I'm the first British Tamil to hold both Miss England Sportswoman and Miss Surrey. A classically trained Bharatanatyam dancer, I've performed at Westminster Abbey before the late Queen, at Wembley Stadium and in Amazon Prime's Picture This, and led a 250-dancer West End production raising £10,000 for charity. Alongside my career in banking audit, I founded Beyond the Box, inspired by my mum. She contracted polio at four and was told she'd never amount to much, yet built a successful business whilst raising her family. Her father empowered her, and she empowered me. Beyond the Box is about passing that on, empowering women to go beyond the limits society places on them. Our launch event, Strong Her, brought together 50 women from different backgrounds across the UK, with guest speaker Cheriece Hylton, a female athlete training for LA. All fundraising from Beyond the Box events will be donated to Beauty with a Purpose charities, and I'm passionate about creating a safe space that empowers women.

 WHO WILL BE MISS ENGLAND’S SIXTH BARE FACE BEAUTY QUEEN?

7 days ago

The award that made headlines around the world returns for the Miss England 2026 Grand Final!
In 2019, Miss England made history by becoming the first beauty pageant in the world to introduce a make-up-free round, challenging traditional beauty standards and causing a media sensation across the globe.
This round is now one of the qualifiers which will fast track one make up free winner through to the final 12 on the final night after all finalists compete in a series of make up free challenges on social media and on the catwalk!
The revolutionary Bare Face Award was introduced by Miss England organiser Angie Beasley, who had become increasingly concerned about the number of heavily made-up and filtered photographs being submitted by contestants.
Angie explained:
“We were receiving so many photographs of contestants wearing layers of make-up and using filters that I felt it was time to bring natural beauty back into the competition. I wanted young women to feel confident and comfortable in their own skin, without feeling they had to hide behind make-up or filters.”
Seven years later, the Bare Face Award remains one of Miss England’s most talked-about and empowering rounds, encouraging contestants to embrace their natural appearance and celebrate individuality.

LEICESTER CLINIC CELEBRATES NATURAL BEAUTY WITH MISS ENGLAND 2026!

3 weeks ago

The One Clinic announced as the official Skin Partner of Miss England’s Make-Up Free Round, celebrating natural beauty, healthy skin and confidence!

Celebrating Beauty Beyond Make-Up

The Make-Up Free Round has become an important part of the Miss England competition, challenging traditional perceptions of beauty and encouraging contestants to feel confident in their own skin.

Unlike conventional beauty contests, Miss England encourages its finalists to showcase much more than their appearance, with rounds focusing on naturual beauty , talent, charity fundraising, ethical fashion, fitness and personality.

This year, The One Clinic will play a special role in selecting the winner of the Make-Up Free Round, who will be awarded a coveted place in the Top 12 at the Miss England Grand Final!

On the early morning of Tuesday 17th November before rehearsals commence , shortlisted national finalists will be invited to take part in a special make-up-free catwalk in front of the judges, showcasing their natural appearance without foundation, mascara, lipstick or other cosmetics.

The round is designed to celebrate individuality, confidence and natural beauty rather than flawless skin or unrealistic beauty standards.

Meet The One Clinic – Leicester’s Medical and Aesthetic Experts

Based in a charming 19th-century building in Leicester, The One Clinic brings together a team of highly qualified medical professionals who believe that aesthetic medicine and personalised healthcare should be accessible to everyone who wishes to explore them.

With over 45 years of combined experience, the clinic’s fully qualified, GMC-registered doctors offer a wide range of services, from general healthcare and private GP appointments to advanced medical aesthetics.

Each doctor brings their own specialist knowledge and expertise, allowing the team to work collaboratively to provide patients with treatments and solutions tailored to their individual needs.

The clinic prides itself on continuity of care, enabling patients to build long-term, trusted relationships with their practitioners while benefiting from the expertise of the wider medical team.

As a CQC-registered clinic, patient safety, professional standards and confidentiality are central to its approach.

Visitors are welcomed into a comfortable reception area, where they can enjoy refreshments and explore the clinic’s dedicated skincare bar, featuring a collection of skincare products available to sample.

The beautiful premises also offer convenient on-site parking for up to 15 vehicles.

Miss England Finalists Encouraged to Embrace Their Natural Beauty!

Ahead of the national final, The One Clinic is inviting this year’s Miss England finalists to share their own make-up-free photographs on social media in association with the clinic.

Contestants will be encouraged to explain why healthy skin, self-care and feeling confident without make-up are important to them.

The campaign aims to inspire other young women to embrace their natural appearance and recognise that beauty comes in many different forms.

Whether it’s maintaining a healthy skincare routine, looking after their general wellbeing or simply having the confidence to step outside without make-up, the finalists will be helping to promote a positive message about natural beauty.

Who Will Win the Make-Up Free Bare Face Round ?

MISS WORLD ENGLAND WINS THE TALENT COMPETITION WITH A POWERFUL RENDITION OF “OVER THE RAINBOW”

2 months ago

PRESS RELEASE

Vietnam – Miss World England Grace Richardson has made history by winning the Talent Competition at the 75th Anniversary Miss World Festival in Vietnam, becoming the first England representative to win a Miss World fast-track event.

Grace, a performing arts graduate from Leicestershire with a background in singing, acting and dancing, wowed the global audience with her performance of “Over the Rainbow” at the Children’s Culture Center in Nha Trang.

Through her performance, Grace wanted to remind adults how important it is to keep their childhood dreams alive – a message that means a lot to her as she continues working towards her own dream of performing on a West End stage.

The Talent Competition started with contestants from around the world auditioning for a place in the final. Grace made it through to the 23 Talent finalists, who performed while the other 88 national ambassadors cheered them on.

Minutes after being announced as the winner, an emotional Grace said:

“I still can’t believe I am the winner. These women are all so talented, and it is truly an honour to have been chosen.”

Grace added:

“Winning the Talent round means so much to me. Performing is what I love, so it really is incredibly special to be recognised for it here at Miss World. I can’t wait to see what the next two weeks bring, knowing I’m already through to the Top 40! I’m just going to enjoy every moment and continue to give it my all representing England.”

Her victory has fast-tracked England into the Top 40 quarterfinals of this year’s Miss World and marks the first time England has won a fast-track event in Miss World history.

WORLD-CLASS TALENT

It was a hugely competitive evening, with Miss World Guadeloupe, Annaelle Ibo, finishing a close second after performing “La Vie en Rose.”

Miss World Philippines, Asia Rose Simpson, came third with a powerful dance performance telling the story of feeling lost and finding her way through faith.

The evening featured many other outstanding performances. Miss World Paraguay, Ayelén Pérez, a music educator, played the violin with remarkable talent and sensitivity, while Miss World Portugal, Vitória Babinetchi, impressed with an incredible rhythmic gymnastics routine.

The audience also enjoyed the powerful voices of Miss World Ethiopia, Ruth Yirgalem; Miss World Nigeria, Soye Karibi-George; and Miss World Eritrea, Snit Habteab, as well as a unique and unforgettable performance by Miss World Chile, death metal vocalist Ignacia Fernández.

Miss World Denmark, Josephine Bøttger, impressed the audience with a delicate classical ballet performance that showcased her remarkable talent.

And the list goes on. The representatives from Poland, Colombia, Zambia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Northern Ireland, the Cook Islands, Nepal, Gibraltar, Sri Lanka, Ireland, China, Vietnam, Denmark and Guatemala all excelled in their respective performances.

A DREAM COME TRUE FOR LEICESTERSHIRE PERFORMING ARTS GRADUATE

Grace’s achievement is especially meaningful because of her lifelong love of performing.

She trained and graduated at LCPA – Leicester College of Performing Arts, founded and led by Principal Ann Oliver MBE, where she developed her skills in singing, acting and dancing.

Grace has spent years preparing for a career in the performing arts, with her biggest ambition being to perform professionally on a West End stage.

Grace’s biggest supporters are her parents Alyson & Chris Richardson who  have both travelled to Vietnam to support Grace  with dad arriving slightly earlier. 

Mum Alyson found out Grace had won the talent round just as she was about to board the flight from the UK to Vietnam.  On her arrival Alyson said  “We are absolutely over the moon to be here in Vietnam supporting Grace and to see her win the Miss World Talent Competition and secure her place in the Top 40 of this very special 75th Anniversary Miss World is beyond anything we could have imagined.

Grace has been humming and dancing for as long as we can remember, even before she could properly walk or talk. But singing and speech have never come easily to her. Grace was born with ankyloglossia, commonly known as tongue-tie, which restricts the movement of the tongue. She has had to work incredibly hard to find different ways to form sounds, words and musical notes.

That makes this recognition feel even more extraordinary to us. And after fracturing her foot a few months ago and being unable to fully dance on pointe at present, her determination to adapt, keep performing and find another way has been incredible to watch.

As her parents, we couldn’t be prouder. This award means so much because it feels like recognition not just of Grace’s talent, but of her resilience, determination and all the hard work she has put in to overcome the challenges along the way. To see her standing on a world stage in Vietnam doing what she loves is simply magical.”

Alyson & Chris on Graces graduation day

Miss England Director Angie Beasley said:

“This was the round Grace really wanted. Performing is her passion, so to see her win the Miss World Talent Competition is incredibly special. We couldn’t be prouder of her.”

Grace’s international win follows her success in the Miss England Talent round, where her performing ability played an important part in her journey to becoming Miss England.

Now, after years of training, her talent has been recognised on the world stage.

THE 75TH MISS WORLD GRAND FINAL – 5TH SEPTEMBER 2026

Following her historic Talent victory, Grace will continue representing England at the 75th Anniversary Miss World Festival in Vietnam, with her place in the Top 40 quarterfinals already secured.

The 75th Miss World Grand Final takes place on Saturday, September 5, 2026, in Nha Trang, Vietnam.

The wider Miss World festival events will take place across multiple cities and provinces in Vietnam from August 8 through September 5, 2026, bringing together national representatives from around the world for challenges, cultural events and appearances.

The 75th Anniversary edition of Miss World is supported by Geleximco Group as Diamond Sponsor.

Could Grace Richardson make even more history and bring the Miss World crown home to England?

Grace Richardson Flies the Flag for England at the 75th Miss World in Vietnam

3 months ago

Performing arts graduate and the reigning Miss World England Grace Richardson is currently enjoying the experience of a lifetime as she proudly represents England at the 75th Miss World Festival in Vietnam.

After arriving in Hanoi following a comfortable long-haul flight with Vietnam Airlines, Grace’s feet have barely touched the ground! Since landing, she has been immersed in a packed Miss World schedule alongside more than 100 contestants from around the globe.

Highlights So Far… ✨

One of Grace’s first major appearances was the spectacular Miss World Opening Ceremony, where contestants celebrated Vietnamese culture by taking to the catwalk wearing Vietnam’s beautiful traditional Áo dài.

Grace walked alongside Miss Denmark, marking one of her first international catwalk appearances as Miss World England.

Since then, the contestants have been busy sightseeing exploring the world heritage sight such as Ha long bay , attending official various events, rehearsing and experiencing the culture and hospitality of Vietnam — while forming lifelong  friendships with women representing countries from across the world.

Another highlight for Grace was attending the OMODA & JAECOO launch party in Vietnam, where she had the opportunity to model and pose alongside some of the brands’ latest cars. Here she is with Miss ireland posing with their latest models during the party !  Omoda and Jaecoo are distinct sister brands sharing underlying technology and platforms while targeting different aesthetic preferences and market segment. 

Taking to the Catwalk in Vietnam 👗

On the 18th August , Grace competed in the highly anticipated Miss World Top Model round, modelling stunning creations by Vietnamese designers.

The fashion event provided another opportunity for Grace to showcase her catwalk skills, with the spectacular Dragon Square providing a stunning backdrop for the Vietnamese fashion showcase.

Grace pictured 3rd in on left !

Grace is no stranger to the runway, having modelled professionally before winning Miss England, but representing her country on an international Miss World catwalk has made the experience particularly special.

Between appearances, events and rehearsals, Grace is sharing the adventure with her roommate, Miss Ireland, Caoimhe Kenny, with the pair making some incredible memories together during their time in Vietnam.

The Best Is Yet to Come… 🎤

There is still plenty more to come for Grace.

One round she is particularly excited about is Miss World Talent, where multitalented Grace will now be showcasing her singing.

Talent played an important part in Grace’s own Miss England journey. She won the Miss England Talent round with her performance of “Never Enough”, helping her on her way to being crowned Miss England.

Now, following her graduation in Performing Arts, Grace is looking forward to performing again — this time representing England on the Miss World stage.

Grace is also excited about the forthcoming Sports round, which she says has “a little twist to it this year”, as well as the Head-to-Head round, where she will have the opportunity to share more about her Beauty With a Purpose project, Every Drop Counts.

R- L Miss World finalists – WALES, ENGLAND NORTHERNIRELAND AND FINLAND READY FOR THE SPORTSROUND

Grace’s Beauty with a Purpose  project focuses on raising awareness of water conservation and the impact our everyday choices — including fashion — can have on the world’s precious water resources.

Beauty With a Purpose has been at the heart of Miss World for decades, and Grace is hoping to use this incredible international platform to take the message behind Every Drop Counts to an even wider audience.

Grace on Her Miss World Experience ❤️

Grace said:

“I have loved absolutely every moment so far in Vietnam. The country and its people are beautiful inside and out; I couldn’t have asked for a better host country.

I am really looking forward to the talent round and am excited to perform again since my graduation! I am also looking forward to the sports round, which has a little twist to it this year, and Head-to-Head, where I will be able to share more about my BWAP project with everyone here!

Overall, this has been an experience of a lifetime and I will forever cherish these memories.”

 

Thank You to Grace’s Supporters ✈️👗

A special thank you goes to Seasonal Trunk for providing some of the fabulous outfits Grace has been wearing during her Miss World journey, and to Vietnam Airlines for helping Grace begin her adventure with a comfortable journey to Vietnam.

With plenty more events, rehearsals and competition rounds still ahead, Grace’s 75th Miss World story is far from over.

Miss Liverpool’s Mission: Inspiring Young Girls to Embrace Natural Beauty & Confidence after taking to the Miss England final stage Make up Free 

11 months ago

Press release December 2025

After winning the Miss England Bare Face Top Model award and securing a three-month influencer contract with award-winning natural skincare brand SpaVed, Miss Liverpool Paige Loren is determined to use her new platform to spark positive change among young girls across the UK browsing social media.

Photo of Paige make up free at the Miss England 2025 finals- make up free

Paige, who finished 8th overall in the national final, hopes her win will encourage the next generation to feel confident in their natural skin and be more confident about posting natural images of themselves instead of using filters and wearing too much make up.

“I have young cousins who lookup to me. Even Lottie my 7 year old  niece but  knows all about fillers, make up & filters on social media.  I want to try and change the narrative, and I believe it starts with social media. Young girls should feel empowered to go make up free and  post realistic images and accept themselves for who they are,” Paige said.

A Brave Bare-Face Moment at Miss England

When arriving at the Miss England finals held last month at the Grand Station Wolverhampton, Paige admitted she doubted her decision to compete completely make-up-free—especially when surrounded by contestants getting professionally glammed up.

“I did worry if I’d done the right thing when I saw everyone getting their makeup done. But once I walked out on the main stage make-up-free, I felt free. It was empowering as the judges saw the real me.”

Her bold choice paid off. The judges recognised her authenticity, awarding her the Bare Face Top Model title, a round which celebrates natural beauty and confidence from within.

A Model with International Experience

Paige is a part-time model and nail technician, is no stranger to the international stage, having proudly represented England and the UK at Top Model of the World in Egypt and Miss Charm in Vietnam. But this time, she wanted to stand for something different:

Make up Free Catwalk at Miss England by Alan Strutt

“I wanted to be a natural beauty at Miss England, and I’m thrilled it paid off. I might not have won the Miss England title, but being this year’s Bare Face winner means so much to me. If I help even one young girl feel more confident in her natural skin, I’ll have fulfilled my aim.”

About SpaVed – Award-Winning Natural Skincare

As part of her prize, Paige gets a collection of SpaVed Skincare & will collaborate with SpaVed, on social media ,  an award-winning British natural skincare company known for its gentle, effective formulations created with plant-powered ingredients.

Kamini Kapoor , founder of the SpaVed brand said

” At SpaVed, we recognise how significantly beauty expectations can influence confidence, especially for young people navigating an age of filtered imagery and comparison. The Bare Face Top Model initiative offers an important and refreshing counterbalance by highlighting authenticity and natural skin without added layers or perfection.

This year’s round brought meaningful attention to that message. Paige’s choice to compete make-up-free brought a clear focus back to natural skin and honesty on a national stage. Her participation aligns closely with the values behind this collaboration, and we are pleased to support a platform that encourages open, genuine conversations around beauty.

Miss England Hosts Make-Up Free Auditions in the Midlands to Celebrate Natural Beauty

1 year ago

Wolverhampton, UK –

Miss England is calling for aspiring beauty queens from across the Midlands to enter the next phase of the competition –

make-up free.

If you live, work or study in the Midlands, are aged between 16–27, and want to be part of the prestigious Miss England competition, don’t miss your chance to attend the make-up free auditions at Grand Station, Wolverhampton on 7th September.

To apply, simply send a recent snapshot of yourself — ideally make-up free or wearing minimal make-up — to [email protected] or complete the application form at www.missengland.info.

Selected applicants will be invited to audition for the next Miss England Championships, with the semi-final scheduled for October. Contestants will also have the chance to be crowned with a regional title representing their area.

“We feel it’s so important to promote natural beauty amongst women, especially on social media,” said Angie Beasley, Miss England Director since 2002.

Angie introduced the make-up free round in 2019 after noticing a rise in heavily filtered and overly made-up images, with some contestants looking unrecognisable in person.

A special presentation will take place at 2pm on the day of the auditions to encourage attendees to embrace their natural selves and build confidence from within.

Guest speakers include Afrose Ameen, last year’s Bare Face Award winner and a law student from London, who will share her inspiring journey of self-acceptance & Angie Beasley founder of the round from Miss England.
