The reigning Miss Charisma 2020, Milove Fontaine, has arrived in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, ahead of the 2026 Miss Elegantly Plus Caribbean Queen Pageant, where she will represent Antigua and Barbuda in the regional competition this weekend.

Fontaine is among a group of delegates preparing to take the stage on Sunday, July 12, 2026, at the Eileene L. Parsons Auditorium at H. Lavity Stoutt Community College (HLSCC), as they compete for the prestigious Miss Elegantly Plus Caribbean Queen crown.

The Antigua and Barbuda representative will face off against Krystle Maduro of the British Virgin Islands and Jah’Millia Maloney of the United States Virgin Islands in the highly anticipated contest.

This year’s pageant, held under the theme “Pretty. Phenomenal. Plus.”, is centred around celebrating confidence, empowerment, self-expression, and the beauty of women across the Caribbean in all forms.

Fontaine’s participation provides a platform for Antigua and Barbuda to be represented through culture, elegance, talent, and personal achievement as she seeks to make her mark on the regional stage.

Supporters back home have expressed pride in Fontaine’s journey, with many rallying behind her as she carries the nation’s colours and competes for the coveted golden crown.

The Miss Elegantly Plus Caribbean Queen Pageant continues to champion inclusivity and representation, bringing together women from across the region for a celebration of Caribbean identity, confidence, and empowerment.
