In fact, this is what led her to join the catering team at RFS.

Here are the terms: Anyone from anywhere in the world can submit a video of their 2 looks (casual and cocktail) via info@msentertainmentnetwork.com. These 2 videos will be screened by the board of MS Entertainment Network to make sure that they are eligible to be part of the World’s Best Dressed circle. If the applicant is successful then they will be notified via email –  once we’ve gathered all the submissions then a final cut will be aired on TV1 Australia.

World’s Best Dressed is an amazing virtual event where fashion, pageantry, and the elite members of the community will come together as one.

Meet Our 2021 Mrs. Universe Australia, Woman Of The Universe And Mrs. Classic Universe Philippines

Posted on by maryrose

As we’re sure you’re already aware, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a need for social distancing to help prevent the spread. The need for social distancing and self-isolation has meant that bringing large groups of people together isn’t viable right now. For this reason, we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone the Mrs. Universe Australia coronation night and instead, just choose a representative to compete in the 2021 Mrs. Universe international pageant to be held in South Korea this November. While we know this is disappointing, we hope you understand this is a necessary step to help keep each other safe in these unprecedented times.

As you may well be aware, the government has called on the public to stop gathering to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, and so it wouldn’t be responsible for us to go ahead with the Mrs. Universe Australia coronation night at this time. We hope you can join us at Mrs. Universe Australia on the rearranged date of potentially October 31 which is a lead-up to the 2022 Mrs. Universe International pageant to be held here in Sydney.

We’ll keep you posted if anything changes, and please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns via info@msentertainmentnetwork.com. In the meantime, we’d like to introduce our Mrs. Universe Australia 2021, Woman Of The Universe 2021, and Mrs. Classic Universe Philippines 2021.

At present, she works as a front liner at the Douglas Hanly Moir Pathology receiving specimens and coding COVID-19 samples. 

Outside of work, her living name is Ceres, the goddess of agriculture. She indulges herself in gardening and flower arrangement, and she loves dancing and traveling too.

Woman Of The Universe 2021 – Cheryl G. Tarrant

In Pictures: The 2020 Australian Golden Sash Awards

Posted on by maryrose

The AGSA (Australian Golden Sash Awards) is a ceremony aimed at showcasing Australian beauty queens who have made the most outstanding contributions to the pageant industry during the year.

To provide integrity in the judging of the categories, National Directors are typically invited to nominate beauty queens who have competed in their respective pageant systems in the specified categories. Entries are usually judged by the entire pageant community. You must be a National Director, a titleholder, or a beauty pageant contestant to be eligible to vote.

This annual event is the first of its kind in Australia. The ceremony is brought to you by MS Entertainment Network in collaboration with StarCentral Magazine.

Unfortunately for 2020, biosecurity measures and travel restrictions have been put in place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Thus, Australia’s borders were closed and sadly, other National Directors and beauty queens from interstate and overseas were unable to join our 2020 celebration.

On a happy note, the 2020 Australian Golden Sash Awards was a sold-out event and we’d like to thank our major sponsors for this event: Sanjiv Bhalla’s Elite Supermodel Australia and St. Patrick’s College Australia. Thank you for continually supporting our projects.
