pageant girls
Crown-seeking young competitors
Pageant girls are young women or girls who compete in beauty pageants—competitions judged on appearance, poise, talent, and interview skills.
The term often carries connotations of heavy makeup, elaborate hairstyles, and coached performances, particularly associated with child beauty pageants: The pageant girls practiced their waves and smiles backstage.
It can be used dismissively to suggest superficiality or excessive focus on appearance.
