On June 8th at Melbourne’s Sofitel on Collins Hotel, 21-year-old Perth girl Renae Ayris was crowned the 2012 Miss Universe® Australia during a black-tie, red-carpet gala event. Renae’s universe is now lit up with media, television interviews, campaigns, and appearances, which will continue throughout her reign—especially during her preparation over the coming months for the international final in December.
With Renae immediately shooting into the international spotlight, the most exciting part of being crowned was her overnight appointment as ambassador for Miss Universe® Australia sponsor Novo Shoes! “I can’t believe I am getting a year’s supply of shoes and also bags! Novo has amazing bags!”
Straight after the crowning ceremony, Renae was surrounded by new media and journalist fans, with interviews and photographs each day in Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth showcasing her winning sash and beautiful personality—which Australia will fall in love with. She then jetted back to Melbourne for her first-ever campaign shoot as Miss Universe® Australia for Novo Shoes, where the colours and styles of Novo’s new spring/summer range were looking just as gorgeous as our Miss Universe® Australia, Renae!
“Shooting campaigns with shoes and bags—which I love—and then taking them all home with me is a girl’s dream come true! I am proud to be a part of this brand, which is such a well-known name Australia-wide, and I look forward to being the new face of Novo Shoes.”
So many opportunities and adventures will come Renae’s way through the Miss Universe® Australia organisation over the next 12 months, including charity missions in third-world countries with Operation Smile, international fashion shoots, overseas trade fairs, and the biggest opportunity of all: to represent her country at an international level in front of over three billion viewers worldwide, when she takes the stage at Donald Trump’s international final later this year.
