Evening Gown Tips from Miss Teen International

Evening gown is one of the most exciting areas of competition. Your gown gets to show your personality, taste, and style of elegance. And, of course, gowns always shine brightly in the light, which is my favorite part! There is one thing you must remember, “you must wear the gown; the gown cannot wear you.” I want to share a few tips for a successful evening gown walk.

1. When you take steps, step on your heel first. This creates a gentle approach and allows you to take very quiet step, which is exactly what you want to do! Walk with grace, always.

2. Arm movement is vital to looking “natural!” Let your wrist brush your sides. It is important to have the flow of arm movement, and the “wrist rule” is a great way to measure that!

3. Lastly, let your face be true and genuine. Lock eyes with every judge and show them that you are focused on them, but also, engage with the crowd. Your eyes will speak a thousand words and your smile will radiate how you truly feel in that moment!

I hope these few pointers give you direction to be successful on stage! Walking on the International stage is dream come true in itself, so soak in those bright lights and own your every step. “You WERE born for such a time as this (Esther 4:14).” I am immensely proud of all of you!

Forever,
