This past Spring, Julianna had the opportunity to model for Ashley Lauren, and she says that it was definitely an amazing experience! She also spends a lot of time serving her community through various charities and causes. Her personal platform, The Kindness Book Club, and UNM’s platform, The Crown C.A.R.E.S., keep her very busy! “Sharing the message of kindness through reading materials and discussions has been very rewarding,” Julianna told us. She also provides book drives, bake sales, and hosts donation drives to help classrooms in need!

Gracyn

As a recent high school graduate from Virginia, 18-year-old Gracyn is looking forward to attending Virginia Tech this fall! While there, she will be double majoring in Marketing and Fashion Merchandising, with the hopes of one day working in Marketing/Advertising for a company high up in the fashion industry, such as Versace or Louis Vuitton. “What can I say? I like to dream big!” Gracyn is a former Miss Virginia Teen USA and Miss Ohio High School America. She also placed in the top 10 at Miss High School America. She told us she one day hopes to compete at Miss Collegiate America and Miss Virginia USA. “Henri’s is truly my family.

Gabriella

Gabriella has been a Henri’s girl since 2013! This 16-year-old from Ohio loves serving her community. She is the founder of two organizations to help today’s youth: ‘Prevent Prepare, Stay Aware’, which is an initiative to raise awareness among youth about the dangers of human trafficking, and ‘ROSE – Raising Our Self Esteem’, which is a confidence building workshop for young girls. Besides community service, Gabriella says her passion is ballet. At five-years-old, she realized she wants to be a professional ballerina, and she is working toward that goal every day. “Ballet keeps me fit, and it challenges me to work harder than I ever knew I could, all while trying to make it look easy, beautiful, and graceful.” Gabriella told us that pageantry, modeling, dance, and community service have helped her grow into the confident young woman she is today. She also credits Henri’s in helping her grow. “I love Henri’s because, no matter who you are or what you look like, you can feel like the most beautiful woman in the world there.”

Bailey

Bailey is 16-years-old from Arkansas and the reigning Miss Arkansas High School America. She was awarded this opportunity while competing at the 2018 Miss High School America pageant. Bailey enjoys paddle boarding, shopping, singing, embroidery and traveling. During her year as Miss Arkansas High, she has promoted the B.R.A.V.E. platform (Building Respect and Values for Everyone) with a special focus on food allergy bullying, which Bailey says is “very closer to my heart.” Bailey’s gorgeous red locks and bubbly personality was the perfect combination for this year’s Homecoming Ambassador program!

Ansley

This Tennessee girl was selected to model for Henri’s while representing the state of Kansas at the 2018 Miss High School America pageant where she placed in the Top 15. It was Ansley’s poise on stage and her captivating smile that resonated with Henri’s creative team and landed her the opportunity to become a Henri’s Homecoming Ambassador.
