Ely Beriguette, crowned Mrs. New York US Nation 2024, in June of 2024 - is a force of elegance, intellect, and resilience in the modeling industry. Her journey began in the Dominican Republic at just 15 years old, where her family recognized her innate passion for the runway.
Encouraged by their support, Ely embraced modeling as a way to inspire and uplift others, seeing it as an art form that conveys both outer and inner beauty.
To Ely, modeling is more than simply wearing beautiful clothes; it’s a powerful platform for storytelling. She believes the industry’s true essence lies in its ability to convey messages through expressions and emotions, helping others discover their unique style and needs through art. “It’s not only about clothes or accessories but about expressing emotions in images that can inspire people,” Ely explains. Her approach has always been to see modeling as a bridge to connect with people on a deeper level, allowing them to feel seen and understood.
Her title as Mrs. New York US Nation 2024 has only strengthened her resolve to make a meaningful impact. Ely envisions her reign as an opportunity to promote cultural and social progress.
“I aim to encourage women and young adults to overcome obstacles and be productive members of society,” she says. Through her title, she intends to promote events, causes, and projects within diverse communities, striving to be a catalyst for positive change.
Looking to the future, Ely dreams of managing her own sociocultural organization. She hopes to combine her love for art and education to inspire others, showing them that creativity can serve as a foundation for both personal and societal growth. Her platform allows her to collaborate with local and international nonprofits, giving her a voice to advocate for various causes and amplify important messages.
Ely’s dreams are far-reaching. She envisions herself gracing the runways of New York, Paris, Milan, and London, representing her ideals on the world’s most prestigious stages.
At the same time, she is determined to challenge stereotypes within the modeling and pageantry industries. She’s driven to break the perception that models must fit a narrow physical mold. “All women can shine through their natural beauty, intelligence, and the positive change they bring to society,” Ely asserts. She is particularly passionate about showcasing the strength and resilience that women bring to the world, both on and off the runway.
Outside of modeling, Ely is an accomplished writer with a degree in literature, often channelling her love for poetry as a form of self-expression. She is also trained in performing arts, with
extensive experience in theatre, film, and acting, all of which enrich her modeling performances. As a teacher, Ely instils both artistic skills and strong values in her students, nurturing a new generation to lead with compassion and integrity.
A persevering spirit defines Ely, both in her career and in life. She’s a model not just of physical beauty but of unwavering determination, demonstrating that true beauty lies in the courage to inspire, the strength to uplift, and the wisdom never to give up.
