Event History
The Miss Royalty International pageant was established in 2013 by Cheryl Smukowski. In 2020 Sherrie Gearheart became the new Director and Model Icon Inc acquired the MRI pageant. In 2021 the MRI pageant was held at the gorgeous Palmer House Hilton Hotel in downtown Chicago and awarded over 450 prizes, titles, and awards with over $4,000 worth of contestant prizes, and $7,500 worth of winner prizes. The Miss Royalty America and Miss Royalty International winners will grace the covers of Model Icon Magazine and Tiara Magazine while spending their year building their #ModelCitizen legacy. Furthermore, the new director Sherrie Gearheart is proud that MRI is breaking boundaries and providing a fair pageant where diversity and inclusivity is celebrated.

There are 3 main areas of competition all equally weighted: Interview, Fashion Wear, and Evening Gown. Those 3 areas of competition are the only areas that determine the overall International age divisional winners. There are additional areas of competition called "optionals".

Contestant coordinators
One thing that separates the MRI pageant from others is that you are not alone in our system. Not only do we provide a 3 hour zoom informational session for each new contestant, we also pair each contestant with their very own Contestant Coordinator. The Coordinator is here to guide our contestants with any and all questions. Should additional help be required such as extensive training, our coordinators are readily available to be hired as coaches.
Mock Interview Training
This is more than "just" a pageant. The Miss Royalty International staff provide countless opportunities for contestants to cultivate their talents through our Mock Interview training sessions, bio sheet coaching, one on one training tailored for each individual, and more. These training sessions are optional (not mandatory) and provided at affordable rates to give every one a chance to shine and do their very best.
Model Icon Fashion Show
The Elite Model Icon Fashion Show held in Atlanta takes place on February 26, 2023. Our new Royalty International winners will speak during the event as their very first official appearance as International titleholders. Our official Emcee is Hung Pham, flying in all the way from Australia. There are incredible designers from across the nation. Pageant contestants have priority to audition and sign up as models for this event. In return they are gifted 6 to 12 model coaching sessions, a Model Icon Tshirt, trinkets, professional photos, featured in Model Icon Magazine, featured on the Model Icon fan page, and more. This is a totally separate event from the pageant, tickets are sold separately. Fashion Show tickets are not included in the "All Weekend Pass." To get your tickets please CLICK HERE.
