First Annual Exquisite Royalty Nationals
Pinky Promises & Salty Dreams
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina- Summer 2026
The Exquisite Royalty National Pageant is where legacy, sisterhood and seaside sparkle meet. Join us as we celebrate our national delegates at the stunning Myrtle Beach coast. A weekend filled with laughter, leadership and lifelong memories under the theme "Pinky Promises & Salty Dreams."
This event marks the First annual Exquisite Royalty National Pageant, bringing together queens from across the nation who have represented their states and regions with grace, heart, and dedication. Nationals is more than a pageant- it's a family reunion of queens built on friendship, growth and the promise to always lift each other higher.
"A pinky promise is a vow made in love- and at Exquisite Royalty we keep our promises."
What started as a pinky promise between our National Director and now legacy Braeleigh Shor that ER would continue for another year, grew into a vision for something beyond, and now has become a promise fulfilled to a whole new level.
Before continuing, let us state, we are NOT a huge system, we are not overly produced, we don't have that over the top feel about us, we can't promise giant prize packages, simply because we want to fulfil our promises to you, but what we can promise is a national pageant that is down to earth, that is friendly for all levels of delegates, that will love and support you, and that is in this FOR YOU AND YOUR GIRLS, we will not be a system so caught up in promoting our name and image that we forget our main purpose is to support and help these young women grow.
DIVISIONS:
all age divisions will mirror our state lineup, allowing every queen from newborn to legacy age to compete on a fair and empowering level. Each division will crown a National Queen 1st-4th runner up, and optional side awards including personality, photogenic, and regal service recognitions.
AGE GROUP DISCLAIMER
Because state has already been held before Nationals, we will allow all contestants to compete in the division they won even if they have aged out within a six month time frame from time they won their state title. IF they have exceeded the six month time frame, we will move them up but will allow them to still compete with their state title, as the younger title holder for the older division.
ELIGIBILITY
Contestants must have competed and/or received an appointed title at the state level. Appointed title holder from other states are welcome to join Nationals 2026 to represent their region and shine on the national stage.
THEME & ATOMOSPHERE
"Pinky Promises & Salty Dreams" captures the heart of the Exquisite Royalty sisterhood- sweet, coastal, and filled with meaning. Expect a dreamy blend of lavender, silver, and ocean-inspired tones. From our welcome reception to crowning, each event is designed to honor both the sparkle and the soul of our queens.
