Teigan McCaughey hope her success will open up more opportunities for her within modelling and pageantry
A young Co Derry woman is celebrating after winning the Miss International modelling competition over the weekend.
Teigan McCaughey hopes the win will open up more opportunities for her within modelling and pageantry, including photo-shoots, fashion shows that will enable her to continue growing within the beauty industry.
Miss International was held in the Beechlawn Hotel, Dunmurry, on Sunday evening and organised by the Northern Ireland School of Modelling.
Teigan says winning Miss International is a huge achievement for me and “something I’m extremely proud of.”
As part of winning the title, I have also won an all-inclusive holiday for a photoshoot, which I’m really excited about.
Reflecting on how she got involved in modelling, Teigan said: “I first got involved in modelling when I was around 16/17 years old, as I’ve always had a real passion for modelling, fashion and being in front of the camera,” said Teigan.
“Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to take part in fashion shows with the NI School of Modelling and gain lots of different experiences within the modelling industry.”
"In 2023, I was 1st Runner Up in Miss Winter Wonderland, which was a really exciting achievement for me and encouraged me to continue pursuing modelling and pageantry.
“I’ve also been lucky enough to travel to Lloret de Mar in Spain on a modelling holiday for a photoshoot, and I have previously featured in the Ulster Tatler.
Teigan who comes from the Feeney area but has moved to live in Belfast, is looking forward to a modelling career.
