Kristy-Lee Cox shows her talent for Miss Teen Australia coming up on October 6 this year.
JUST days before the entries closed for Miss Teen Australia last month, Kristy-Lee made the cut out of thousands of girls across the country.
And the former Gold Coast girl will be the only girl representing Rockhampton in this year’s competition.
Starting out as a finalist in Miss Country Girl 2011 gave the 17-year-old the chance to enter Miss Teen Australia, when a judge recommended she enter.
Miss Teen Australia is a company that runs a national beauty pageant competition for young women aged between 16 and 19, and is used as a stepping stone to international events such as Miss Universe.
The Glenmore State High student will be one of 100 entrants in the pageant and says there’s a big difference between beauty pageants and modelling.
“Pageants are more about being yourself and showing your natural beauty, which is what I really like about them,” she explained.
“But I also would really love to explore the modelling world so hopefully this will help me.”
If Kristy-Lee is successful in the October competition, she will go compete in Miss Teen World, held in Fiji.
“I’m just so excited, it’s definitely my biggest achievement this year,” she said.
