Hamlet clenches runner up’s spot
Antigua and Barbuda’s Miss Talented Gabrielle Hamlette found herself in the winner’s circle of the Miss Haynes Smith, Ms. Caribbean Talented Teen Pageant.
Competing in Tortola on Sunday night at the 42nd edition of the regional competition, our hometown girl finished in the third runner-up position after wowing the judges with her beautiful smile, attire, and dance moves.
The pageant was won by St. Kitts and Nevis’ Kaitlyn Wilson while Ms. Asha Handyman-Haynes of the BVI and Anguilla grabbed the 1st and 2nd runner-up spots.
Best Evening wear and Best Costume went to St. Croix while Best Talent was claimed by the eventual winner.
This is the second straight year St. Kitts and Nevis has won.
Thirteen teens participated in this year’s event under the theme ‘Project Truth’.
It was the first time the show was held out of St. Kitts.
