Curves & Crowns is a body-positive, empowerment-driven pageant created by Cakes & Kings Empire. Our mission is to redefine what beauty looks like on stage.
We are here to:
- Celebrate plus-size beauty and confidence at every age.
- Create opportunities for women to be seen, heard, respected, and PAID.
- Build a community of support, not competition.
- Give winners real visibility, not just a sash and “thanks for coming.”
This is about representation and power. When one queen shines, we all rise.
WHO CAN COMPETE
Divisions / Who Can Enter
We see you. We made space for you. Pick the division that fits you best:
- Miss Curves & Crowns (18–34)
For fierce queens 18–34 who are ready to take the spotlight. - Ms. Curves & Crowns (35–49)
For confident grown-woman energy, seasoned and unstoppable. - Elite Curves & Crowns (50+)
For mature queens who prove beauty does not expire.
You do NOT have to be a “pageant girl.” First-timers are welcome. This stage was built for first-timers.
Main Competition Rounds
Each contestant will be scored across multiple areas. We’re judging presence, passion, and authenticity — not just measurements.
- Personal Introduction
Your moment to tell the audience who you are. 30 seconds. Bring personality. - Interview / On-Stage Question
We ask you something real. You show us your voice, your values, and your ability to speak with confidence. - Fashion Wear / Personal Style Round
Your signature look. Street glam, club queen, alternative, goth, glam-rock, high femme, whatever is YOU. Bring the attitude. - Swimwear or Fitness Wear
This is about body confidence. Bikinis, one-piece, fitted athletic wear — your choice. We don’t shame bodies here. We celebrate them. - Evening Gown
Elegance, stage presence, and overall “I AM the moment.” - Talent / Creative Expression
Sing. Dance. Spoken word. Burlesque-inspired (event-appropriate). Drag performance. Pole. Flow arts. Whatever your art is, this is where you show it. - Community / Platform (Bonus)
Do you stand for something bigger than yourself — advocacy, activism, mentorship, healing work, etc.? That heart matters, too.
Not all categories may be required in every division. Final category list will be confirmed with selected contestants.
