Milton Keynes girl, 14, wins national beauty pageant
A young girl from Milton Keynes has been awarded a prestigious pageant title, and raised over £2,000 for charity over the last five years of competing.
Lola Jade, aged 14, from Milton Keynes, has been crowned UK's National Junior Miss 2026/27, after competing against girls from across the country.
UK's National Miss is an award-winning British beauty and confidence-building pageant, with competitors aged 12-15 competing in the Junior Miss category.
Currently preparing to begin Year 10, Lola is studying towards her GCSEs and has chosen Hair & Beauty, Business, and Sociology as her specialist subjects, with dreams of turning her passion for beauty into a successful career.
Starting her pageantry journey with Little Miss Teen Great Britain, Lola has been competing for the last five years. Throughout that time, she has shown incredible dedication and determination, proving that hard work and perseverance really can make dreams come true.
Giving back to her community is at the heart of everything Lola does. Since starting pageantry, she has raised over £2,000 for charities including Together for Short Lives, Cancer Research UK, and The Christie.
She is also the founder of Colour Me Better, a platform that collects arts and crafts supplies for kids on the children's ward at Milton Keynes Hospital. With the belief that creativity can play an important role in helping children through difficult times, Lola hopes to collect over 1,000 craft items and double the number of donations she makes throughout her reign.
Away from pageantry, Lola loves all things hair, beauty, and makeup, and dreams of becoming a professional makeup artist. Inspired by her uncle, who works on film sets around the world, she hopes one day to travel internationally doing what she loves, with the ultimate ambition of owning her own pageant makeup business and working at international pageants.
Lola is so excited for the year ahead and hopes to use her reign to inspire young girls to stay hopeful, work hard, and never stop believing in themselves because with dedication and determination, anything is possible.
