Liandri's journey to Peru begins with Miss Teen

"Be authentic, be yourself." This advice from the freshly crowned Miss Teen Grand International SA 2025, Liandri Lamprecht (16), will guide her all the way to Lima, Peru, where she will compete for the international crown at the end of November.

Liandri earned this title by winning the prestigious Public Choice Award at Miss Teen World SA during a glitzy event at the Wits Theatre in Johannesburg last weekend. The grand finale and crowning took place on Saturday 26 July.

Model friends of Ace Models Mossel Bay and George, her dress designer, Andreio Fick, local supporters and her family made sure Liandri receive a hearty welcome at George Airport early on Monday night, 28 July, when she and her mum, Lydia, returned home.

This young lady says she is excited about what the future holds and wants to use her title to continue with her community work - keeping girls in school every day of the month by collecting and distributing sanitary pads.

Balancing act

As a student of Danlyn Academia, Liandri credits homeschooling for giving her the space and flexibility to chase big dreams.
