The Vegas-born, Miss Fabulous Beauty Pageant was founded by Ellen Stokes in 2016. Ellen’s vision for the pageant was to have a face affiliated to the historic “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign, bringing light to the Fabulous people of Las Vegas.
Miss Fabulous pageants is unique as the competition open the doors to those who did not have a chance as a young woman or man to compete in any pageants. We view pageantry as a stepping stone for some to achieve their life goals. With the right tools and partnership, Ellen and her daughter as a mother and daughter team are taking the Miss Fabulous Pageants to the next level as it benefits women and men, young and adults. The pageant creates a community of people who are wanting to excel from their current situations in life and become a bridge to those who want to pursue their platforms.
