On 23 November 2024, the city of Kuching witnessed more than just an audition – it was the spark of a movement.
Held at Aeroville Mall, the very first audition of Miss Stellar Queen International marked the official launch of a new chapter in pageantry. One that breaks away from superficial norms and places advocacy, inclusivity, and purpose at the forefront.
The event brought together changemakers, passionate women, and local communities for a meaningful cause. In collaboration with Hope Place Kuching, the audition was conducted free of charge. Instead of registration fees, participants were encouraged to bring dry goods and necessities to donate – reaffirming that kindness and compassion are the true marks of a queen.
Among the notable contributions, DCC Present Sdn Bhd proudly donated 50 packs and Biu Biu Event & Entertainment 5 packs, totalling 55 packs of 10kg rice – a contribution that aims to support at least 55 families in need, reflecting our ongoing commitment to community impact and sustainability.

The day also marked the launch of our new talk show, Stellar Women, Powerful Voices – an online platform that honors the unsung heroes in our society. It was officiated by Dr. Carol Sandra Giang, President of WESNA, and Sherlyn Chan, the founder of Miss Stellar Queen International. This series will spotlight real women who lead, nurture, and uplift others in silence and strength.
Through the afternoon, guests were inspired by keynote addresses, empowering stories from past queens, and heartfelt presentations. It was a space filled with purpose and sisterhood.
