Gracey was photographed on Festival Boulevard after her 2025 Miss Priscilla win.
Local Parkes girl Gracey Denham-Jones was crowned the 2025 Miss Priscilla, saying she has “always been drawn to Priscilla’s iconic style, the big hair, bold makeup and glamorous fashion that made her such a standout.”
A great deal of preparation went into creating Gracie’s timeless Priscilla look, including two hours of teasing hair and of course lots of hairspray, with hair stylist Nicole Rosser. Followed by an hour spent on makeup, by Kim at Kindred Beauty to achieve the precise look, completing Gracie’s transformation into Priscilla.
“Being crowned Miss Priscilla 2025 was such an honour. It honestly felt surreal, it all happened so quickly that it took a moment to really sink in. The second my name was called, I was surrounded by cameras, photos and media, and it was such a whirlwind of excitement,” said Gracey.
“Being Miss Priscilla has been amazing. I’ve performed at this year’s Elvis Festival launch, danced on stage with Elvis performers and performed at council events. I’ve met so many incredible people, but most importantly I’ve loved representing Parkes, the town I’m proud to call home.”
Gracey has an exciting year ahead with exciting performances coming up with a few Aussie Country Music stars, for updates follow Gracey Denham-Jones on Facebook. “I’ve got lots of gigs booked, I’ll also continue teaching and inspiring young performers at Parkes Dance Co. I really think this year will be my biggest yet and I’m also so excited to continue my role in Marketing at Ray White Central West Group.”
And her advice for future contestants? “All I can say is, the bigger the hair, the better!”
