WBO Celebrates 30 Years of Beauty and Fashion 11 January 2024 WBO, the World Beauty Organization, confirmed that the 30TH anniversary of TOP MODEL OF THE WORLD will be produced in Azha, Ain Sokhna in Egypt on Friday, May 24, 2024.

Paige will not compete in Miss England 2024 due to date clash Photo by Alan Strutt at HAIR BY DAR salon

The FAB UK TOP MODEL winner Paige Loren will be representing the UK, therefore will not be taking part in the Miss England national final as it clashes with the dates .

Two more countries, the Philippines and Sri Lanka were bidding too but they lost as Azha who was already co-producer in the 28 Edition made the best offer to have the round birthday in their high-end waterfront destination with over 250 acres! In the 28 edition, we really enjoyed some marvelous days at the 5-Star plus Tanoak Resort by Sunrise Resorts.

The arrival will be 10TH of May to Hurghada International Airport (HRG). We are planning a trip to the Pyramids as well a cruise on the Nile visiting Luxor. “We are thrilled to return to Ain Sokhna as the last show was surely a highlight in the history of our event, presenting Middle East Stars such as Badra or Carolina Karam. We are also grateful to our national directors who have been waiting for the announcement as we had to choose the best option for our 30th anniversary as it not only signifies the years of hard work and determination, but also the immense potential that lies ahead as we continue to revolutionize the Model and Fashion landscape” says Neila Suarez. Already sure is that we will have contestants from 50 countries to travel to the Host Country Egypt.

Ain Sokhna stands out as one of Egypt’s luxurious destinations. The developer prioritizes the highest quality standards in all services and facilities by using top-quality construction materials, partnering with leading global construction and maintenance companies, and implementing high safety and health standards.

The beaches at Azha, Ain Sokhna, Egypt, with their soft white sands and crystal-clear waters, maintain high levels of cleanliness.

Contestants will arrive in the country on the 10th May and depart on the 26th May 2024

“Afshan Islam” has been working backstage with the Miss England & Miss World competitions for the past 10years .
The hardworking mum of eight  has proudly represented both her own salon “Beauty Beneath Salon in Sheffield”  and the Miss England makeup partner “Beautiful Brows & Lashes”

Afshan Islam – Salon owner Beauty Beneath

Due to her competency in creative artistry and many years of professional experience, Afshan has been appointed as head hair and makeup artist consecutively and was head of the make up artists team at the recent FAB UK TOP MODEL contest held at the prestigious “Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites & Residences ” 
We caught up with this glamorous busy mum & business owner to find out more ….
“I have stood by Miss England due to the amazing ethos of beauty with a purpose.  This has inspired young women to stand forward as ambassadors and charity hosts who truly make a difference” said Afshan after the show.

One of the make up and hair briefs Afshan put together for the FAB UK TOP MODEL event

“During the FABUK TOP MODEL competition,  I put together 3 different looks which focused on softly enhanced eyes with a flawless base and completed the looks with a statement lip. The hair consisted of some tussled, loose and textured styles which captured a boho chic influence. I wanted to keep the natural beauty of the models to allow them to bring out their inner beauty and personality and wow the judges with their desire and passion to help disadvantaged situations.

The Miss England organisers have been extremely accommodating in supporting me and my team to be able to take part in such an event that artists and stylists can only dream to attend and take part of this fantastic opportunity .

I am looking forwards to working along side these beautiful ladies and caring organisers alongside my hardworking and dedicated team.

Afshan with her daughter where two of the lead make up artists at the recent FABUK TOP MODEL contest

I hope moving forward that I can continue to assist these amazing events and showcase my expertise.

“Beautiful Brows & Lashes, have been the established in 2013, has grown to be loved globally & have been associated with Miss England for 4 years. Their first product to hit the market was their innovative eyebrow powders, seen on Gal Gadot, Jess Hunt, Amber Gill, Olivia Bowen & many other celebrities. Loved by Mua’s for their pigmented, waterproof, sweatproof & smudge-proof formula, these powders look flawless on clients all day – perfect for photoshoots, nights out and everything in between.

The Miss England Director “Angie Beasley” has been using the Beautiful brow powder daily since 2013 when she first spotted the brand at the Clothes Show Live Exhibition !  ” Its my first go to every morning , and I like it because it stays put and looks so natural” said Angie!

Since its launch, this company has delved into Brow Lamination and Lash Lifting, so it knows the importance of brow & lash health.

This is where a hybrid of makeup and self-care was born. Their ‘The Bomb: Extreme Mascara’ volumizes & lengthens lashes with its formula that contains Biotin and Keratin to help grow and nourish lashes. This also applies to their ‘Brow Bomb Brow Glue’ – why wouldn’t you want to grow and nourish your brows and lashes whilst you wear makeup?

Protecting Your Pageant Gown: How To Shop For The Best Dress Garment Bag

Pageant gowns are not just dresses; they are a significant investment in your passion, career, or personal milestone. Ensuring their protection and maintaining their pristine condition is paramount. This comprehensive guide will help you navigate the world of dress garment bags, ensuring your pageant gown remains as stunning as the day you first wore it.

“Grand Garment Bag”

Best 2-In-1 Garment Travel Bag

If you’re looking for a more stylish dress bag that doubles up as a travel bag, then the Von Baer Grand is an exceptional choice. By using full-grain Italian leather, the Grand looks really smart, much better than the tacky plastic garment bags you sometimes find. Simply unzip the duffle style bag to reveal the built-in garment bag. This versatility makes it perfect for pageants and travel, ensuring your gown is safe, and your style is on point.

Optimal Material Choices For Longevity

Selecting the right material for your wedding travel bag is more than just a matter of preference; it’s about ensuring the longevity of your pageant gown. Durable, breathable fabrics protect your gown from moisture, dust, and other environmental factors that can cause damage. Thick canvas, for instance, is sturdy and allows your gown to breathe, preventing any moisture build-up that could lead to mold or mildew. Nylon and high-quality polyester are other excellent choices, offering resilience against wear and tear while maintaining the lightweight nature of the bag for easy transport. These materials are designed to withstand the rigors of travel and storage, effectively shielding your gown from the elements and keeping it in pristine condition for years to come.

Size Matters: Ensuring A Perfect Fit

The size of your garment bag is crucial in maintaining the integrity of your pageant gown. Choosing a bag that provides ample space is important, allowing your gown to rest comfortably without being compressed or crumpled. This consideration is especially vital for gowns with extensive detailing, like sequins and beads, or those with voluminous skirts. A garment bag with extra room can accommodate your gown’s full length and volume, ensuring that every detail remains as designed. This foresight prevents unwanted wrinkles and helps preserve the structural and aesthetic aspects of your gown, keeping it in its intended shape and form.

Practical Features For Enhanced Protection

The functionality of a garment bag is as significant as its size and material. Features such as sturdy zippers ensure that your gown remains securely enclosed within the bag. At the same time, comfortable handles and adjustable straps make transportation hassle-free. Additionally, consider bags that offer extra compartments or pockets for accessories like shoes, jewelry, and makeup. This keeps your pageant essentials organized and prevents any potential damage to your gown caused by these items shifting during transport. A well-designed garment bag should also include a robust hanger mechanism that can support the weight of your gown without the risk of tearing or sagging. This feature is crucial for maintaining the gown’s shape and preventing any strain on the fabric.

Weather-Resistant Options For Outdoor Events

For outdoor pageants or events, the weather can be an unpredictable element. Opt for a weather-resistant garment bag to ensure your gown remains protected from the elements. Waterproof or water-resistant materials are invaluable in guarding against rain, snow, and accidental spills. This feature becomes particularly important when traveling between venues or being exposed to varying weather conditions. A weather-resistant garment bag acts as a shield, keeping your gown dry and spotless, ensuring that you arrive at your event with your gown in impeccable condition.

Choosing A Stylish Yet Functional Design

Functionality doesn’t have to come at the expense of style. Many designers and brands have recognized the importance of aesthetics in garment bags, offering protective and stylish options. From classic and sophisticated designs to contemporary and trendy styles, there’s a range of garment bags to suit your taste. These bags not only protect your gown but also act as a fashion statement, reflecting your style and adding an extra layer of excitement to the pageant preparation process.

Maintaining Your Garment Bag For Long-Term Use

A quality garment bag is an investment in the longevity of your pageant gown, and its maintenance is crucial. Regular cleaning and inspections will help you identify any signs of wear or damage early on, extending the bag’s life. Avoid overstuffing the bag, as this can strain the material and zippers, and always store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Proper care and storage of your garment bag ensure it remains a reliable protector of your gown, ready for use whenever the occasion arises.

Making A Sustainable Choice

In today’s world, making environmentally friendly choices is more important than ever. Consider garment bags made from sustainable materials. Look for brands that use recycled fabrics or eco-friendly practices in their production. Not only are these options better for the environment, but they often offer superior durability and quality.

Conclusion

Choosing the right garment bag for your pageant gown combines practicality, style, and protection. Whether the versatile Von Baer Grand for travel or a specially designed wedding travel bag, the right choice will ensure your gown remains as breathtaking as the moment you first saw it. Remember, a garment bag is not just a purchase but an investment in the longevity and beauty of your cherished gown.

​Alice said ”My whole working career I’ve worked in the ambulance service since the age of 18 where I’ve provided care , treatment and even cups of tea for those in need.

Being a paramedic has always been an ultimate goal of mine and I’ve fulfilled it and will continue to do so.​

By taking part in the Miss England contest, it’s unlocked this potential in myself that I didn’t know I had!  With one of the main reasons to use the Beauty with a Purpose platform to educate the public on how to perform CPR and how to use an AED.

Along the way I actually really enjoyed the challenge of attending photo shoots, taking part in different rounds, wearing dresses and really focusing on my fitness its such a change from my daily job.

I want to show others that you can in fact do both and that life is about, challenges. Believe me I find modelling more of a challenge than saving a life sometimes , it’s definitely not as easy as it looks but I welcome that challenge.

I’m really looking forward to representing the United Kingdom in the world top model contest and hope to inspire others to push out of your comfort zone, whatever that maybe be…”
