In July 2026, we got to spend a few days with our UKNM finalists, getting to know them, making memories and preparing for the glittering grand finals! Our class of 2026 were absolutley incredible and we are so proud of all their hard work and dedication. UK’s National Miss is all about empowering women and celebrating each and every finalist for being 100% authentically themselves.
We kicked off the event with a casual meet-up for anyone who wanted to join. This was super fun and helpful for anyone that was feeling a little nervous – 5 minutes with the Pageant Girl team and all those nervous dissapear! Some of our 2025/26 Queens to meet our finalists!
On Thursday, we held our famous UKNM Activity Day! This day consisted of our finalists getting a talk from our director, Holly Pirrie, about purpose and confidence, a photoshoot with our amazing photographer, Brian, and a self defence class with our current Mrs Galaxy UK, Gemma! Though the pics from the self-defence class looks like our Queens are literally fighting for the crown, the day was full of fun and love!
We want our girls to be strong on and off the stage, that’s why days like this are so important – so many girls walked into the activity day morning nervous for the weekend, and left in the afternoon with more confidence, new friends and memories to last a lifetime.
We finished the day with our Pink PJ Party to give our girls time to unwind and dance the night away before the grand finals. Some of our gorgeous Miss International UK finalists even joined in on the fun!
On Friday 3rd July 2026, we held the Grand Finals of UK’s National Miss! After all their hard work and preparation, our finalists spent the day in rehearsals, going over exactly what they would do on stage, and one by one they had the all-important interviews with the judges. Holly takes great care in selecting our judges so that we can all be confident that they have the experience, professionalism, and impartiality needed to ensure fair and accurate scoring.
When the evening came, our finalists kicked off the night with the opening number routine, and they brought the energy! We knew straight away we were in for an incredible evening! They were then scored in two on-stage rounds – Fashionwear and Eveningwear. In all of the rounds, the judges look for personality and confidence.
Finally, the results were in, and we gave out the well-earned awards and crowned five amazing new Queenies! We were absolutely blown away by each and every one of our finalists – seeing them all slay the stage, make memories behind the scenes, and support each other is what UK’s National Miss is all about.
A huge congratulations to the Class of 2026! And to our new Queens – we cannot wait to support you through your reign!
