Interesting Fact
I co-founded my Beauty With A Purpose initiative Save My Back with my mum, Gillian McKeith, the TV nutritionist and bestselling author, to help people improve their posture, reduce back stiffness and feel more confident in their bodies. Health and fitness have always been a huge part of my life. I now work as a Movement & Mobility Coach, teaching people how to move better and feel stronger both physically and mentally.
I am also a trained dancer, actress and singer. I’ve performed for audiences across the world, including the Monaco royal family at Europe’s largest theatre, the prestigious Grimaldi Forum. My modelling career has taken me to London and Paris Fashion Weeks, as well as numerous high-profile campaigns and commercials via my acting work.
Fluent in French and Spanish, I love being able to connect and communicate with people from different cultures. I’ve even had the opportunity to perform in both languages, which has been an incredible way to combine my love for the arts with my language skills. Whether it’s on stage, in front of the camera or through my movement initiative, my goal is to inspire confidence, health and empowerment in others.

Founder & Host of Blessed Youth Podcast, Merch brand & Community. Politics, Philosophy & Economics student at Queen’s University Belfast. Actress in training at Identity School of Acting. Public Speaker
Interesting Fact
I am on a mission to help over 1.2 billion young people overcome bullying and confidence barriers through my Blessed Youth initiatives - podcast, merch brand and coaching community.
After experiencing racism and bullying in boarding school, my self-esteem and mental health hit rock bottom - but I turned that pain into purpose, now helping the youth go from bullied to BOLD.
My story has led me to speak across London, from schools to global conferences, sharing a message of resilience and hope.
As an actress, I’ve seen how film can stir hearts, yet I often leave the cinema with a deep emptiness. I’m determined to change that by creating raw, heartfelt films that tell true stories of redemption and inspire viewers to live with purpose and faith.
Watch me turn Hollywood upside down.

I am a tarot card reader, though I approach it less as fortune-telling and more as psychology through mythic archetypes.

More Than a Crown

Phoebe Michaelides on Loss, Renewal, and the Power of Authentic Beauty When Phoebe Michaelides was crowned Miss Cosmo England 2025, she described it as “a surreal but beautiful reminder that we are the authors of our own lives.”

In the same glittering evening ceremony held at the Grand Station Woloverhampton, she also won the Miss World England Public Vote, securing her place in the Miss England national finals next month.
A successful evening for Phoebe indeed!

For Phoebe, the path to this moment has never been about crowns, but about meaning — about what beauty can express, not merely display. A Certified Nutritionist with a BSc in Human Nutrition, now completing her Master’s in Psychology at Queen Mary University of London, she has spent years exploring how science and art together can illuminate the depths of the human experience. Her studies in science and psychology, coupled with her background in performance and storytelling, allow her to bridge intellect and emotion — to ask not just how we live, but why. That question became deeply personal three years ago, when Phoebe lost her mother to an aggressive cancer that spread rapidly to her spine, leading to complete deterioration within just three months of diagnosis. Her mother’s final act — donating her body to medical science — was a gesture of extraordinary courage and generosity that profoundly reshaped Phoebe’s understanding of life, death, and purpose. “Witnessing that act of selflessness changed everything,” she says. “It showed me that love and meaning can survive even in loss, and that the human spirit, though fragile, can also be immeasurably strong.” In the wake of that experience, Phoebe found her purpose: to transform loss into learning, and to study the mind not as an abstract discipline, but as a living expression of resilience.
This philosophy runs through all her work. Her TEDx talk on resilience and modern spirituality first explored how myth and psychology can guide personal renewal. That same thread runs through her award-winning Greek-inspired play Through the Grapevine, which reimagines ancient myth to examine grief, autonomy, and transformation, earning international recognition from the Oniros Film Awards (New York), Best Script Awards (London), and the Greece International Film Festival. In 2025, Phoebe was honoured with a Global Recognition Award for Artistic Excellence, celebrating her contribution to theatre and social impact. She has since completed multiple charity marathons (running 26.2 miles) in her mother’s honour, raising money and awareness for bereavement causes.
Beyond pageantry, Phoebe is developing several creative and philanthropic projects that reflect her belief in beauty as an act of meaning. Among them is Inner Vogue, an evolving editorial initiative exploring beauty as an inner force — where psychology meets glamour and self-awareness. Alongside this, she is shaping The Phoenix Letters, a letter-writing campaign offering words of hope to those navigating loss and major life transitions, and continuing her work as a Certified Nutritionist and emerging psychologist, developing integrative approaches to body image and emotional wellbeing. Together, these projects form part of her broader vision: to unite intellect and empathy, science and art, into a new understanding of strength — one that heals as it inspires.

As the founder of Studio Michaelides Ltd, a creative house uniting psychology, theatre, and philanthropy, Phoebe embodies the ethos of both Miss Cosmo and Miss World — using beauty as a platform for purpose. “To me, impactful beauty begins in self-awareness,” she says. “It’s not about surface perfection, but about coherence — when your inner world and
outer expression align, you create a presence that others can feel.” With both titles now intertwined in her journey, Phoebe’s focus remains on using each platform to champion meaningful beauty. As she prepares to compete nationally at Miss
World England and to represent England internationally at Miss Cosmo 2025, she reflects with quiet optimism:
“If it were to become a double win,” she says, “I’d see it not only as a personal triumph, but as proof that intellect, empathy, and authenticity truly resonate — that beauty – when it carries depth – can lead.”
