LONDON — Let’s be clear: Sangeetha Menon is not here to play by the old guard’s rulebook. In a triumphant moment that sent a seismic shift through the British pageantry scene, the Orpington-based charity worker and mother was crowned Mrs. Glamour United Kingdom 2025, emerging not just as a winner but as a revolutionary. She is the first Indian-born woman over 40 to claim the title, a fact that feels less like a statistic and more like a long-overdue correction to the narrative of beauty and glamour.


But to label Menon solely a pageant queen would be a profound misstep. She is a master of the modern multi-hyphenate: a model, a philanthropist, an advocacy powerhouse, and now—in an exclusive reveal for Modish Muse—a silver-screen starlet-in-waiting.


The Crown & The Conviction


Menon’s ascent is a story of audacity. Her win at the Kings Hall in Herne Bay was a masterclass in shattering ceilings, challenging decades of entrenched standards around age, size, and ethnicity. Born with congenital hypothyroidism, Menon has faced a lifetime of unsolicited commentary on her body. “You have such a lovely face but…” became a tired, familiar refrain.

Yet, rather than shrinking, she expanded the very definition of what a titleholder can be. Her reign is built on a foundation of radical inclusivity and social impact, championing initiatives like her “Unstoppable Me” campaign against body shaming and leveraging her platform to support women-led businesses and charities from food banks to mental health organizations. It’s a kind of glamour that is deeply felt, not just superficially seen—a fact cemented by her simultaneous win as Mrs. Congeniality Galaxy UK 2025, voted for by her peers.


What’s Next: A Diary of Dazzling Endeavours


If you think the crown was the finale, think again. Menon’s calendar is a curated collection of cultural moments.


  • Strut for Peace at the House of Lords: Teaming with Trailblazer Queen Productions, Menon is bringing fashion and diplomacy to the hallowed halls of power, managing an event that promises to be as meaningful as it is stylish.

  • Paris Fashion Week: Fresh from her crown, she’s secured a spot on the runway for Fashion Republic this season, bringing her powerful presence to the most iconic catwalks in the world.

  • Awards Season Glamour: She’s a finalist for the Social Impact Champion award at the forthcoming Influencer Magazine Awards, a nod to the tangible change she drives beyond the glitter.


THE EXCLUSIVE: Her Cinematic Close-Up


But wait—there’s more. In a reveal sure to send ripples through both the fashion and film circuits, Modish Muse can exclusively announce that Menon has signed on for a pivotal role in the Zimbabwean thriller ‘3 Days in Africa’, directed by the visionary Marc T. Mandisoul.

Slated to shoot in October, with a theatrical and Netflix release planned for next year, the film will see Menon transform into Lanah, a high-profile solicitor caught in a web of suspense. It’s a move that feels both unexpected and inevitable—a natural progression for a woman whose presence commands attention, whether under the spotlights of a pageant stage or the glow of a cinema screen.

“My win is a love letter to every woman who has ever felt invisible because of her colour, culture, size, age, or story. This crown isn't just a symbol of glamour—it's a declaration that representation changes everything.”— Sangeetha Menon

The Takeaway


Sangeetha Menon is more than a moment; she is a movement. She embodies a new era of influence where a crown is a catalyst, a runway is a platform, and a film role is a new frontier. She represents the vibrant, powerful, and beautifully complex spirit of the modern woman—and she’s only just begun.
