South Africa’s Lee-Ann Naidoo Set to Shine at Mrs Supranational International 2025

Lee-Ann Naidoo is no stranger to the world of pageantry. She proudly holds prestigious titles such as Mrs Grand South Africa 2023 and Woman of the Universe Sub-Saharan Africa 2024. This July, Lee-Ann will travel to Myanmar to compete for the coveted Mrs Supranational International 2025 crown, representing South Africa on the global stage.

Determined and passionate, Lee-Ann aims to secure the crown amidst fierce international competition. "The competition will be tough," she acknowledges, "but we are all worthy of the title." At 45, Lee-Ann believes this will be her final international run. However, she holds ambitious dreams of furthering her brand as a Pageant Director and expanding into the evening dress and fashion industry — ventures she is currently developing with excitement.

Beyond her pageantry pursuits, Lee-Ann wears many hats. She is a devoted wife and mother of three, always placing her family at the forefront of her priorities. Her philosophy of consistency and hard work serves as the foundation for her many achievements. Professionally, she is a trained chef specializing in pastries and macarons, a passion born from her deep love for food and artistry.

Her dedication to making a difference extends into her advocacy work. Lee-Ann serves as a proud ambassador for Girl & Guys, an initiative that provides matric attire to underprivileged students. She also leads a sanitary pad drive to support young girls in need, reinforcing her commitment to addressing essential basic needs in local schools.

Lee-Ann’s impact has not gone unnoticed. She has earned nominations at the South African Women Awards, the UAE Pageantry Awards for Best Female of the Year, and the International Pageant Awards for Best International Judge.

On 31 May, Lee-Ann will host the Momtrepreneurs event at Emperors Palace, where influential women will be acknowledged and celebrated for their contributions across various fields.

Looking ahead, Lee-Ann has exciting aspirations. She plans to publish her first book in November, where she will share insights and personal secrets to her success. Additionally, she aims to collaborate with other published authors on a charity-driven book initiative, further expanding her influence beyond the pageantry world.

When speaking about her future, Lee-Ann’s passion is evident. "That’s in my blood — it's who I am," she says with a smile when describing her love for baking and inspiring others. She continually challenges herself to step out of her comfort zone and pursue dreams that surpass even her own expectations.

As Mrs SupraNational South Africa 2025, Lee-Ann embarks on this next chapter with determination and heart. She believes her journey will not only broaden her experience but also prepare her for her ultimate dream of launching her own pageant one day.
