Selina McCloskey is not your average pageant queen. At just 23 years old, this Newcastle local has been crowned Miss International Australia 2024, and her journey to the crown is anything but ordinary. With a mix of grit, passion, and a relentless drive to make a difference, Selina’s story is one you need to know. Here’s why she’s not just breaking the mould—she’s redefining it.

1. Her Early Education Was Unconventional 

Selina’s educational journey kicked off in a way that might surprise you. She went to preschool with kids who were deaf and blind—even though she had both her sight and hearing! Why? Because her parents wanted her to learn empathy and gratitude from a young age. Spoiler: it worked. Selina grew up with a deep appreciation for inclusivity, and that early experience taught her to embrace every moment with humility and determination.

2. She’s a Total Academic   

It didn’t stop there. Selina landed an academic scholarship at Macquarie College, where she smashed her studies and dominated the basketball court. This girl had game—so much so that she ended up playing college basketball in Texas and Kansas. And guess what? It was there she honed that killer competitive spirit and leadership style that would shape her future success, both on and off the court.

3. Double Distinction? Oh, She Did That!

Selina didn’t just dabble in academics; she crushed it. She graduated with double distinction—a rare achievement only two students in her year managed to pull off. She earned a Bachelor of Business in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, showing that she’s not just beauty and brains but also a force to be reckoned with in the business world. Talk about a triple threat!

4. She Walked 600+ Kilometres… Because She Cares That Much

Let’s talk about commitment. Selina walked over 600 kilometres (yes, you read that right!) to raise awareness for breast and brain cancer. Her dedication to the cause aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal #5: gender equality and women’s empowerment. Clearly, she’s not just talking the talk; she’s literally walking the walk.

5. Volunteering With a Mission: Dress for Success

Selina’s not just about raising awareness; she’s all about action. She’s a volunteer with Dress for Success, a charity that helps women get back into the workforce with style advice, confidence-boosting workshops, and résumé makeovers. She’s passionate about breaking down barriers for women everywhere—one outfit and one confidence boost at a time.

6. Fashion Is Her Playground—and Her Platform for Change

Selina doesn’t just wear clothes; she owns them. A regular competitor at Fashions on the Field, she’s known for her unique style and confidence. But for Selina, fashion is more than just looking fabulous. It’s a way to express herself, inspire confidence in others, and advocate for the causes she’s passionate about. She’s turned the runway into a platform for change—literally.

7. She’s Using Pageants to Amplify Her Voice  

Selina started competing in pageants to amplify her advocacy work, and it’s been a game-changer. Miss International is only her third pageant ever, and guess what? She nailed it. Winning the crown is more than a personal victory; it’s proof that she’s using every opportunity to push her message of gender equality and women’s empowerment to new heights.

8. Selina Is a Role Model in the Making 

Selina McCloskey is all about redefining what it means to be a leader today. She’s empathetic, resilient, and fiercely determined to make a positive impact. Whether she’s raising awareness for important causes, excelling academically, or turning heads with her unique fashion sense, she’s doing it all with purpose.

9. She’s Got Big Plans—and an Even Bigger Heart

What’s next for Selina? She’s got her sights set on using her platform as Miss International Australia 2024 to continue fighting for gender equality and empowering women worldwide. Her vision is clear: champion the causes she cares about, promote equality, and inspire others to dream big.

The Bottom Line: Selina McCloskey Is One to Watch!

With her drive, her vision, and her unapologetic passion for change, Selina McCloskey is a powerhouse on the rise. Keep an eye on this space because she’s just getting started—and she’s already making waves both here in Australia and around the globe.

Inside the Miss Earth Australia 2024 Pageant: Highlights, Winners, and Special Performances

Posted on by Mike Ilagan

As the representative of StarCentral Magazine, I had the privilege of attending the Miss Earth Australia 2024 coronation night, and it’s an event I won’t soon forget. Held at the Bryan Brown Theatre, the night was filled with glamour, excitement, and a strong message of environmental advocacy.

I started the evening by going behind the scenes, where I interviewed the talented finalists: Jessica Lane, Claudia Kuper, Jackie Marin, Cleo Kanyarat Panprakhon, Fatima Rodriguez, Isabella Rositano, Emilia Scott-Hopkins, Katelyn Storey, Keisha Ann Nicole Tungol, Sarah Tute, and Sofia Valdez. Each of these remarkable women had their own unique story and passion for making a difference in the world. I also took the opportunity to speak with some of the event’s sponsors, like Indira Setia Putri of Lari Active and Jan Herdman, gaining insight into the support that makes this event possible.

The pageant was divided into four segments, each designed to highlight different facets of the contestants’ beauty, intelligence, and environmental awareness. The Swimwear round, sponsored by Budgy Smuggler, set the tone for the evening, showcasing the finalists’ confidence and poise. The Evening Gown round followed, with each contestant dazzling in their chosen attire, embodying elegance and grace.

One of the most impactful segments of the night was the environmental hashtag round. Here, each finalist selected a hashtag and explained its ecological significance, using the platform to raise awareness about important environmental issues. It was clear that these women were not just beauty queens but also passionate advocates for the planet.

The night reached its peak with the question and answer round for the top four finalists. I could feel the tension and excitement in the air as the contestants were put to the test, demonstrating their intelligence and quick thinking.

As the special awards were announced, I felt a sense of pride knowing that StarCentral’s choice was Jessica Lane, a standout contestant who also took home several other awards, including Best in Swimwear, Best in Social Media, Miss Photogenic, and Miss Earth Charity. Keisha Ann Nicole Tungol was another big winner, receiving Megaworld’s Choice, Best in Evening Gown, and People’s Choice. Claudia Kuper was awarded Miss Congeniality, while Katelyn Storey was named Best in Talent. Alicia Rositano was the Budgy Smuggler Choice, rounding out an impressive list of accolades.

Finally, the top four winners were announced, each receiving a coveted title. Sarah Tute was crowned Miss Earth Australia Water 2024, Claudia Kuper took home the title of Miss Earth Australia Fire 2024, and Keisha Ann Nicole Tungol was named Miss Earth Australia Air 2024. The moment everyone had been waiting for arrived when Jessica Lane was crowned Miss Earth Australia 2024, a well-deserved victory after an evening of outstanding performances.

The success of the Miss Earth Australia 2024 pageant was a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire team, including National Director Juliet De Leon, Managing Director Marc Baylon, and pageant coach Susanna Downes. As I reflect on the evening, I can’t help but admire the incredible efforts of the media team led by Bob Reyes and StarCentral’s very own photographer, Dave Choo, who captured every memorable moment of this remarkable event.

This night was more than just a pageant; it was a celebration of beauty, intelligence, and a commitment to making the world a better place. And as I left the theatre, I knew I had witnessed something truly special.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a mesmerizing fashion showcase, thanks to an invitation from George Bastolli, the CEO of Royalle Modelling Agency. The event was part of the Cultural Exchange Program introducing Vietnam tourism – Ho Chi Minh City, and it was organized by the Department of Tourism of Ho Chi Minh City. Held at Parramatta Town Hall in New South Wales, Australia, it promised an evening filled with style, culture, and charm.

The star of the show was the “PROSPERITY” collection, created by the talented designer Tran Phuong Hoa, the visionary behind Eleven S Couture. With 15 breathtaking Áo dài designs, Hoa skillfully blended traditional Vietnamese materials to create stunning pieces of art. Adding to the allure were the graceful presence of Miss World Australia – Sarah Marschke, Miss Universe Vietnam 2022 Ngoc Chau, Miss COSMO Vietnam 2023 Xuan Hanh, and the professional models from Royalle Modelling.

The collection itself was a celebration of the vibrant flora found in both Vietnam and Australia, symbolizing the beautiful fusion of cultures and natural beauty. Tran Phuong Hoa’s dedication to preserving Vietnamese heritage through her designs was palpable throughout the evening, leaving a lasting impression on everyone present.

Spanning across May 13 and May 14, the event served as a platform to promote Vietnamese tourism products and services while showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Ho Chi Minh City. Guests were treated to a delightful blend of fashion, beauty, and the tantalizing flavors of Vietnam.

Exclusive: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at ABS-CBN’s Noontime Hit Show Showtime!

Posted on by Mike Ilagan

On Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2024, I, alongside Mike Ilagan, StarCentral Magazine’s Managing Director, was honored to be invited to ABS-CBN’s renowned noontime show, ‘It’s Showtime.’ Our delightful hosts for the day were none other than Mr. Raymund Romero, ABS-CBN Global Regional Marketing Head for Asia Pacific, and Ms. Yeddah Joy Maballo, Marketing Manager at ABS-CBN Global Ltd.

Our adventure into the heart of ABS-CBN’s entertainment realm commenced at the Audience Entrance on Eugenio Lopez Drive, where the amiable Yedda greeted us. Despite the presence of Miss Laguna 2024 contestants, the stringent security measures at the gate underscored the importance of the production. Interestingly, even the contestants’ charm and beauty couldn’t sway the vigilant security personnel.

After passing through the rigorous security checks, we finally stepped onto the premises, guided by Yedda to rendezvous with Raymund. I was pleasantly surprised by Raymund’s demeanor; despite his high-profile position, he emanated humility and approachability. Having traveled to Australia for various events, he shared insights on event organization, stressing the necessity of a systematic approach. Raymund’s memorable advice included the art of engaging the audience, likening it to a form of ‘foreplay,’ leading to an eagerly awaited ‘climax’ – the hallmark of a successful event.

Raymund’s humility shone through his willingness to be hands-on, motivating and aiding everyone rather than assuming a supervisory role. His desire for acknowledgment wasn’t about placing himself on a pedestal but instead being rewarded through hard work and dedication, showcasing a rare combination of knowledge and humility.

Our gracious hosts treated us to lunch at the ABS-CBN cafeteria, providing us with a glimpse into the inner workings of the ABS-CBN compound before embarking on a tour of the ‘It’s Showtime’ set. The live show, featuring beloved hosts like Vice Ganda, Vhong Navarro, and Karylle, was a delightful spectacle.

As luck would have it, our visit coincided with a Valentine’s Day special featuring the talented Morissette. The show, both on TV and live, was a comedic delight, with Vice Ganda’s humor resonating with the audience. Special segments like “Karaokids” and “EXpecially For You” showcased the hosts’ versatility, eliciting laughter and tugging at heartstrings alike.

In conclusion, our experience at ‘It’s Showtime’ was truly unforgettable, thanks to the warm hospitality extended by Mr. Raymund Romero and Ms. Yeddah Joy Maballo. We eagerly anticipate future collaborations with them, confident that such partnerships will continue to yield unforgettable moments in the entertainment industry.
