Pretty dresses to the big stage

Elnara stood out not just for her looks but for her confidence, strong catwalk presence, professionalism and charisma on the runway – bringing pride to Sabah and Malaysia.

A YOUNG girl’s love of dressing up in beautiful outfits has turned into an international win.

What began as a simple push from her parents to explore modelling has paid off for seven-year-old Elnara Asha, who recently emerged winner of the I Am Model Search International 2026 competition in Korat, Thailand.
