Mrs International Pageant
July 23rd and 24th , 2026
IN Chicago (Skokie), Illinois
1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
IWONA W – short, strong, and full of character. We, women 50 , don’t need to pretend anymore. Authenticity is our stage. Add red lipstick and a smile, and that’s my signature. It’s not about the name – it’s about the presence.
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
Tina Turner’s – intimate, soulful, and filled with music that touches the heart. But honestly, my favorite weddings are those of my friends. Real love, real emotions – the ones that stay with you long after the dance floor is empty.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
An anti-wrinkle face mask with the note “Use daily!” – from my mother-in-law. A kind gesture… or a gentle hint? Either way, I laughed. In truth, nothing beats the glow of confidence and a natural smile. That’s the best beauty secret.
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
Women own 17 pairs of shoes on average but wear only 3. We have 11 handbags and buy 2 more yearly. And jeans? We keep 7 pairs but rotate just 4. Sometimes it’s fashion, sometimes nostalgia — but we always stay ready.
5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
Stress about things I can’t control. Most of our worries never happen. I’ve learned not to shrink for others’ comfort. Today, I show up for myself — fully, freely, and with heart. That’s my new standard. No more apologizing for who I am.
