Miss Seychelles 2020, Kelly-Mary Anette, will be the first contestant to walk out for the national costume and evening gown rounds of the Miss Intercontinental Pageant 2021 final taking place in Egypt on Friday evening.
The 25-year-old Anette, who is an economist with the Ministry of Finance, Economic Planning and Trade, won the Miss Seychelles title in December last year among 10 other contestants
She will be one of 79 contestants in this 49th edition of the pageant at the Sunrise Grand Select Diamond Beach Resort in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
Anette told SNA that since her arrival in Egypt she has taken part in a boat cruise, desert safari, Greek dinner and an Egyptian night.
“I am now on my 18th day, and the days have been filled with photoshoots, video shoots, a national costume competition show as well as a bikini competition,” said Anette.
Anette said she is reminding herself of the words of Nelson Mandela, who said: “‘It almost seems impossible until it’s done.’ I am carrying these words with me until the rest of this Miss Intercontinental Journey, where so far the experience has been dazzling and exciting.”
