Makeup artist and entrepreneur Charity Henry has won the BTA 8th Annual Miss International Elegant Mothers Pageant 2026, representing Antigua and Barbuda at the regional competition held in St. Maarten/St. Martin.

Henry, a mother of two daughters, competed against contestants from several countries and captured the crown on Sunday, marking a proud moment for Antigua and Barbuda on the international stage.

Born and raised in Antigua, Henry first gained recognition for her leadership as Head Girl at All Saints Secondary School and later built a career in the beauty industry after entering the field at just 13 years old. She has since developed a reputation as a makeup artist and entrepreneur.

Her pageantry journey includes winning Miss Teenage 2017 representing All Saints Secondary School and Miss Labour Queen 2022, representing Prime Minister Gaston Browne and the St. John’s City West constituency.
