5 Outfit Ideas for Top Model Competition



1. Color-blocking. The camera loves color. Be sure to choose tones that go well with your skin tone and against the backdrop being used.





2. Contrast using colors that "pop".



3. Go Monotone with neutrals, but make sure they compliment your skin tone

4. The traditional western chic look isn't complete without a pair of swanky cowboy boots. Don't forget to add a pop of color with accessories.


5. Go glam with a custom look that could rock any runway.

7 "Rules" on Wearing Your Crown and Sash

Image
NAM Texas royalty pose after a pageant Whether you have a local, state, or national title the "unspoken rules" of wearing your crown and sash are the same no matter which pageant system you represent. And if you hold more than one title, these rules are just as important.  Here are my tips on proper crown and sash wear: When and how to wear them. 1. Community Service - Wear your sash or no sash at all. No crown.  Since the focus should be on the people or cause you're serving, a crown is not necessary. It could even take attention away from the cause. Sometimes it's good to bring the sash along with you for photo opportunities before or after the event but leave it off while you're actually serving. You could wear a jacket or t-shirt with your title on it as an alternative. It's always  a good idea to check with the event organizer on what they deem appropriate.

The first thing I can tell you is...relax! It's super simple and fun! Here are 5 tips to be sure you're not stressed and have fun at a National American Miss open call: 1. Arrive Early! It's stated in the confirmation e-mail you received, but I have seen so many times where people arrive what they think is 'on time' or even worse, late.  Give yourself 30 minutes prior to start time.  When you arrive, there will be a check in station and your daughter will get a sign with her name on it. Why does she get this sign?  See Tip #2. 2. Photo Shoot Tips. Depending on which state you reside, she'll do a photo shoot.  It will be really quick! The cameraman will snap about 8 or so photos and he'll help choreograph her. Wear bright colors! I personally prefer solids, b

Score Higher in Casual Wear Modeling With These Tips

Ava Pizzuti, Miss Florida Jr. Preteen 2015 A popular optional competition at pageants such as MAC and NAM is casual wear modeling. It's fun. It's simple. But the ease of the competition can sometimes cause a contestant to slide down a slope of performing just....eh...while the top scorers really stand out and win. Here are strategies casual wear modeling winners use. Routine . You've got approximately 30 seconds on stage, which doesn't seem like a lot, but you can pack a powerful routine in that amount of time. Don't waste it by simply walking back and forth from one end of the stage to the other. Insert pauses, turns, shifts, twirls, facials, and action into the walk. Create an actual routine, just like you would a dance. Practice it over and over to uptempo music. Remember at natural pageants, pro am is a no no, so don't do anything that you would see in a glitz pageant. Theme . Come up with a creative, yet realistic theme. For example, a 6 yea
