Home stretch to Miss La Reine Rive 2017

Sixteen queens from across Trinidad and Tobago are competing for the top position of Miss La Reine Rive 2017. Last Saturday they were judged on self-expression and talent, with the former giving each contestant two minutes to introduce themselves and the county they were representing in a descriptive, humorous and creative manner.

The talent segment saw contestants showcasing their abilities in dance, dramatic expression, song and captivating monologues.

One of the judges told Newsday, “What we (the judges) are looking for in this year’s queen is a high level of variety, we expect our queen to properly execute and portray herself because we want to produce a queen of a high quality, who can take on international pageants confidently.” The cultural competition continues on August 19 at NAPA, from 6pm and will culminate in the crowning of Miss La Reine Rive 2017.
