The time has come for the Starlet of Aotearoa/NZ to come to an end.
Beginning in 2013 as The Starlet of Nelson and then evolving into an annual nationwide burlesque competition for rookie performers, this event has been a truly inspirational and empowering event.
As is only fitting for a grand finale, 2026 will be the
✨ STARLET OF STARLETS. ✨
