carnival queen

Parade's crowned beauty

A carnival queen is a young woman chosen to represent and preside over a carnival or festival, typically through a beauty pageant or community selection process.

The role involves wearing a crown or sash, riding on floats, and making appearances throughout the event.

In some regions, particularly Latin America and the Caribbean, the carnival queen holds significant cultural importance: She was crowned carnival queen of Rio.
