Mrs SA dazzles on international stage
Sarah-Kate Scott, the reigning Mrs South Africa, has quickly captured the hearts of the South African public and media since her crowning, two months ago, at Emperors Palace.
She is now set to take on the world and the globe as she attends not one, but two international pageants during November.
Sarah-Kate is currently participating in the Mrs World Pageant, in the US, from November 8 to 20, culminating in the grand finale and crowning on November 19, in Solomans Island, Maryland.
She is already a firm favourite for the crown. She will be competing with 60 other delegates from all over the world.
Sarah-Kate will be home for less than a week before jetting off to China, to take part in Mrs Globe, on November 27. in Shenzhen, in China, on December 6.
Sarah-Kate says she is thankful for the opportunities the Mrs South Africa pageant has given her to represent her country abroad and acknowledges that it would not be possible without the support of her husband, Darren, who remains in South Africa to look after their ‘babies’.
“Through our experiences, Darren and I have come to realise that life is short and that it is important to grab hold of opportunities that come our way,” she adds.
“Darren and I are committed to each other’s dreams and to raising funds for and awareness of childhood cancer through our support of Cansa and the Cupcakes for Kids with Cancer initiative.”
CEO of Mrs South Africa, Joani Johnson believes Sarah-Kate has a fantastic chance of bringing home the crown.
“South Africans have fallen in love with her and we have every reason to believe that she will draw the attention of the world, and that the international judges will be drawn to her charisma and spark,” she says.
Intense preparation has been made for both competitions, with the best in the industry coming out in support of Sarah-Kate.
The designers have been carefully chosen to deliver gowns best suited to each pageant, with the talented Anel Botha, known for her feminine designs, producing Sarah-Kate’s Mrs World Dress.
This draped Grecian-inspired evening gown has beaded detail to create a curvy silhouette with its multi-layered slit and open back. This dress consists of silky chiffon, satin chiffon and beaded net.
Michael Bezuidenhout has lent his talents to the Mrs Globe gown.
The colour chosen by Sarah-Kate is a beautiful ombré, hand-dyed with the colour graduating from a light dark. The dress is adorned with Swarovski crystals in exquisite hand-embroidered detail, which is designed to give the effect of a mermaid emerging from the water.
Newcomers and great supporters of the pageant, Fearlessly Fashionable, and proudly South African Fleaq’s traditional gown is a rainbow of vibrant colour, incorporating South Africa’s national flower, the Protea, which is guaranteed to attract attention.
