Red Carpet Premiere of “War of the Crowns: Fashion Vs Beauty” Set to Shake Up the Pageant World
BRISBANE, QLD – June 15, 2025 – Get ready for lights, cameras, and a whole lot of crown-worthy courage as “War of the Crowns: Fashion Vs Beauty” premieres at New Farm Cinemas on June 28. Produced by Queensland locals Morgan and Charlie Mancini, this bold and empowering feature documentary dives headfirst into the glitz, grit, and grace behind one of Australia’s most inclusive beauty pageants-Miss Diamond International.
With no formal film training and an unstoppable drive to share real stories, the Mancinis have created their debut documentary, a raw and inspiring behind-the-scenes look at the pageant they’ve been running for over a decade. What started as a passion project to amplify diverse voices has now raised over $400,000 for Australian charities-and caught the attention of the international film circuit, already winning accolades on the festival trail.
“War of the Crowns” peels back the glitter to reveal what pageantry really means in 2025: empowerment, representation, and unapologetic individuality. It’s not just about gowns and tiaras-this film explores powerful personal stories of resilience, identity, and transformation, challenging the outdated tropes of cattiness and superficiality.
“People think pageants are about perfection-but what we see is heart, healing, and fierce self-expression,” says co-director Morgan Mancini. “This isn’t just our story-it’s Australia’s story of inclusion, acceptance, and redefining beauty.”
