🚨Introducing our new MIDWEST Regional Director!
After proudly serving as Mrs. Missouri 2025, USA ICON is honored to have Emily Downs step into the role of your Midwest Regional Director.
This new chapter allows her to combine her years of pageant experience with her passion for mentorship, guiding women to discover their confidence, embrace their unique strengths, and shine both on and off the ICON stage. She is committed to fostering a supportive and uplifting space where every titleholder feels valued and celebrated.
Emily is a passionate and accomplished pageant competitor who first stepped onto the stage just a few years ago and instantly fell in love with the world of pageantry. Since her first competition, she has competed in multiple systems, gaining invaluable experience and developing a deep appreciation for the confidence, connections, and personal growth pageantry inspires.
Her journey has been shaped by a commitment to excellence and a genuine desire to uplift others. Through her own experiences as a titleholder, Emily has seen firsthand the lasting impact of pageantry and not only in crowns and sashes, but in the friendships built, the stories shared, and the courage found along the way.
With her unique combination of experience, leadership, and dedication to empowering women, Emily looks forward to making a meaningful impact on the next generation of ICONic queens.
