A group of Miss England 2025 award winners, joined by the reigning Miss England, Grace Richardson, recently came together on a rainy day in London for a stylish, vintage-inspired fashion photoshoot. They worked with renowned fashion photographer David Dresser and fashion icon Stuart Trevor. Dubbed the "Saint of All Saints," Trevor is currently building the world's first sustainable brand, STUART TREVOR.

The day began with hair and makeup preparations by talented artists Mariia Magdau from London and Leah Tolan from Manchester, while Cristina Majer at Hair West Hampstead created the perfect finishing touches. The Miss England finalists then selected their favourite vintage-inspired outfits with help from celebrated fashion designer Stuart Trevor, whose work is famously associated with some of the world's biggest rock stars.


  

The aim of the shoot was to present the contestants in a completely different light—moving away from the traditional beauty queen image of crowns and sashes, and instead embracing a more edgy, high-fashion editorial style.

Judging by the stunning images captured throughout the day, the objective was certainly achieved. The contestants confidently modelled the unique vintage designs against the backdrop of some of London's most iconic locations, including Pall Mall, London Bridge, and other famous landmarks across the capital, which they travelled to on their own transport by bus.

The experience was made possible thanks to City Sightseeing London, who transported the group around the city's famous sights aboard one of their sightseeing buses, creating the setting for a memorable fashion shoot.  

"The weather wasn't quite what we had hoped for as it rained for most of the day so that did limit us on the outdoor photos," said Miss England Director Angie Beasley. "But in true rock-and-roll style, the show must go on! The girls were fantastic and embraced the challenge, producing some incredible photographs despite the wet conditions".

The photoshoot proved that Miss England contestants are not only beauty queens but versatile models capable of adapting to a variety of creative concepts. The result was a collection of striking images that perfectly combined vintage fashion, modern attitude, and the unmistakable energy of London.
