Renata Bandurko - representing Gran Canaria, Canary Islands at Miss Woman International 2025 World Final

Hi there! My name is Renata.

Since the age of 15, I have been immersed in the world of fashion and entertainment. My journey began as a professional model, where I worked on fashion weeks, commercials, video productions, and talk shows. I also had the incredible opportunity to be a TV host for a music channel, enhancing my media presence and communication skills. One of my career highlights was participating in a national beauty pageant in Ukraine, where I secured the second-place title.

My modeling career led me to work with prestigious magazines such as Playboy and CosmoLady, as well as feature in music videos and high-profile advertising campaigns. In 2024, I was honored to be crowned Mrs Canarian Islands by Globe, a recognition that reinforced my passion for the beauty and fashion industry. Later that year, I represented my region at Mrs European Nations by Globe, where I proudly placed in the Top 5 most beautiful women in Europe. With years of experience in the modeling industry and a deep appreciation for fashion and self-expression, I continue to evolve, embracing new challenges and striving to inspire others with my journey. My hobby is professional aerial acrobatics.

How did you start your career in the world of fashion and modeling?

I started my modeling career at the age of 15, stepping into the industry with a strong passion for fashion and media. From my early days, I worked on commercials, video projects, and television appearances. My dedication and love for this field led me to national beauty contests, where I achieved remarkable success.

What are the main qualities that you think a model should have to be successful in the industry?

Discipline, confidence, adaptability, and resilience are essential for success. A model should also have a strong work ethic, a unique personality, and the ability to express emotions through the camera.

What are the biggest challenges you have had to face in your career and how did you overcome them?

The modeling industry is highly competitive, and learning to handle rejection was a challenge. However, I used every experience as motivation to grow. Staying true to myself and constantly improving my skills allowed me to achieve my goals.

How do you prepare for a photo shoot or a fashion show? Is there a special routine that you follow?

My preparation includes skincare, fitness, and mental focus. I make sure to get enough rest, eat healthily, and practice posing or runway techniques if needed. Confidence is key, so I also take time to visualize success before an event.

What kind of look do you prefer to create for yourself? How do you choose your outfits and makeup?

I love elegant yet bold looks that highlight my personality. My outfits and makeup choices depend on the occasion, but I always aim for a refined and sophisticated appearance that reflects my confidence.

As a professional model, what advice would you give to young people who aspire to pursue this career?

Believe in yourself, never stop learning, and stay professional. Modeling is not just about beauty but also about hard work, persistence, and self-development. Be open to new opportunities, and never let challenges discourage you.

What inspires you when you work on new projects in the fashion world?

I am inspired by creative minds—designers, photographers, and stylists who bring unique visions to life. Every project is an opportunity to transform and tell a story through fashion and art.

In the context of Miss Woman 2025 in Tenerife, what does it mean to you to participate in an international beauty pageant?

It is an incredible honor and a chance to represent my journey, values, and experience on an international stage. Being part of Miss Woman 2025 allows me to inspire others and celebrate the beauty of diversity.
