Onesha Hutson represented Guyana well at the Miss Global International Pageant, held last weekend in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
Although that dream did not become a reality for the beauty ambassador, Hutson placed in the top 10, and was again selected in the top six of the talent competition. She was awarded a special prize for Best Smile.
During the competition which saw at least 30 other delegates competing, Hutson created quite a stir as she sought to impress Jamaica and the other delegates with her grace and elegance, as she glided across the stage wearing a Myrna Patterson gown. She then sported a Neilson Nurse gown for the orientation dinner and again managed to turn heads.
After creating a fashion statement, she continued to look fabulous in gowns and designs by Andy Cummings, Tracey Greene Douglas, Nachle Designs and Channey Wong.
Being a favourite in the swimsuit segment, Hutson wore a stunning swimsuit, depicting the colours of the national flag. The design which was produced by Guyanese designer Jason Shurland, incorporated hand crafted ribbons and rice beads.
Hutson also rose to the occasion and preformed a cultural extravaganza as her talent piece, where she played the African and Tassa drums, and also danced to Guyanese artiste Melissa “Vanilla” Robert’s “Rage” and “Arrowhead” by Courtney Noel. The dance was choreographed by Hashim Alli.
Taking a bit of Guyanese heritage for the charity auction, Hutson was among the favourite countries whose gift was sold. It was a Guyana’s ‘Ultimate Pack’ by Tracey Greene Douglas and her brand Pandama Wines, which included the award winning wine, clay earrings, tie-dye dress and souvenirs from Guyana.
In addition, her national Costume sported a replica of Guyana’s Court of Arms which was made by Guyanese designer Jason Shurland. The evening gown was the highlight of the evening as she wore a Hibiscus flower inspired gown by new and uprising designer Quinton Pearson.
