Last weekend saw this year's edition of Mrs Gibraltar with Georgina Victoria White crowned as the overall winner.

 

 

 

The Mrs Gibraltar 2023 kicked off last Friday evening with an outstanding performance by Yalta Dance Studio Gibraltar along with Mrs Gibraltar 2022 Joely Ann Joaquin where they danced a beautiful piece displaying the four elements; water, fire, earth and air which this years Mrs Gibraltar 2023 competition theme was based on, climate change.
Followed by this performance , the ladies came out onto the stage with a fantastic remix of the song 'Holy' by sam smith which was created by the director himself, Angel Luis Ressa for their air element/climate change routine.
The audience did not expect their appearance and everyone began to cheer and clap for their favourite contestant! The crowd loved the routine and music! It was the perfect combination of poses and footwork and everything blended in so well together, the background videos, lighting, everything! The crowd definitely enjoyed and encouraged the 10 beautiful ladies to give it their all! The ladies were then invited onto the stage individually to present themselves and their sponsors as part of the air element routine. This gave the judges a short insight on how each individual spoke with a large audience in the theatre watching them.

Once the contestants all introduced themselves and their sponsors, they presented the pannel of judges...

the yalta dance studio had another amazing performance by zyanne rios who performed wednesday by the adams family. As they are very family orientated it was thought this was a brilliant piece that the children were able to enjoy too


The second routine the ten ladies modelled to was the fire element routine to the song girl like me, remixed by the director himself Angel Luis Ressa. This routine was their personality routine.

Whilst the girls got ready for their favourite routine, the catwalk routine, the presenters showed the audience everything the girls had been upto during their fourth months of preparation for the show. From local charity work, to different health and fitness classes  and a holistic wellness program delivered by Bianca Yeo and Nyree Turnock. They did it all! The most important of all was the yearly domestic violence campaign which is what the whole experience is about. Raising awareness. They all took part in a short but effective video clip which was then published on social media to help spread awareness.

Yaltas dance studio then performed their last piece of the night called maniac. Their dancers were full of energy and the audience absolutely loved it!

The presenters then gave acknowledgment and thanks to every single sponsor that has helped throughout the journey and displayed their logos on a large screen for the audience to view.

The ladies then came out to the song Fierce for their earth element routine which was their catwalk routine. This was their favourite routine and it definitely reflected on stage. They were outstanding and the audience wanted more and more!



After a twenty minute interval, the ladies last routine was the water element routine where they wore their stunning evening dresses and this year they shook things up and included their interviews in this routine too. This enabled them to show off their dresses more and each and every one of the ladies answered their questions with pride and grace.

It was definitely a difficult task for the jusges!


During the 20 minute break while the judges deliberated, we had a local singer Jaydine Baglietto who sang two beautiful pieces and a singer who had travelled all the way from the Netherlands Lynn! Lynn at just 17 years old, participated on the voice kids and this autumn her first single will be released on spotify and youtube. She had the audience up on their feet and her vocals were out of this world!
