Miss England contest will lend more beauty to the stage as Sara Iftekhar, who is a young entrepreneur, will walk the ramp of finalists while in hijab.
Sara is a student of law at the University of Huddersfield. Among 22,000 applicants, she has made it to the finals along with 50 other people. This is the first time a woman will walk the ramp in a hijab in the final round of the reputed beauty pageant.
All beauty pageants claim that the contest is more than just a pretty face. But Miss England finalists will also have to raise funds and awareness for beauty with a purpose. They also have to arrange sponsored gifts to donate to charity, take part in a creative eco fashion round, compete in a sports round, pass the general knowledge quiz and also submit a short video for the talent round.
Miss England finals will be held tomorrow at Kelham Hall, in Nottinghamshire.
