Flair Magazine Bearing the crown of Miss Egypt World this year, Mony Helal, 26, has officially qualified to compete at the 68th Edition of Miss World Pageant. The pageant will be held on Sanya Island, China in December with up to 120 runners from across the globe. Drawing attention to charitable associations such as Misr Al-Kheir, Gannat Al-Kholoud and Baseera, Mony is more than just a beauty queen and we’re definitely all be rooting for her. We talked to the new beauty sensation as she prepares to take on her latest and most important challenge in her career yet.
What are your expectations going in to compete for Miss World?
I’m expecting that getting out of my comfort zone will definitely lead to personal growth. I hope I will learn a lot about myself by testing my strengths and facing my weaknesses.
How has the preparation process been so far?
I’ve been preparing for this pageant for the past two months while other beauty queens competing in Miss World have been coached for nearly a year! I have given my diet a complete makeover, missed social events for gym sessions, and have practiced walking until I blistered my feet. I’m dedicating my life to be fully prepared for this moment.
How does it feel to represent your country in the competition?
Being crowned as Miss Egypt World 2018 and representing Egypt in Miss World is such a proud moment for me. I am so excited to take on such a big responsibility. I am proud that I’m contributing to the betterment of hundreds of charities and worthy causes, and even giving young girls a role model to look up to.
What do you hope to do with your platform?
I hope to use my pageant experience to advance my modeling career and draw attention to the humanitarian and philanthropic activities I am passionate about. I have recently opened a talent and modeling agency in Dubai and when the right time comes, I hope to train other beauty queens for pageants.
We noticed that you’re also a microblading artist. How did you get into that?
I was really interested in helping others feel beautiful and confident. I worked really hard to receive two certificates from Phibrows and was part of the very first group of “microbladers” in the Middle East. I also completed my training in nipple construction/3D nipple tattooing. My experience allows me to offer my services free of charge to people suffering from alopecia and cancer victims. #PayWithASmile
