Natasha Beresford: The Makeup-Free Miss London Inspiring Confidence and Change
London, United Kingdom - Poised, grounded, and driven by purpose, Natasha Beresford is redefining modern beauty. From her empowering Miss London 2023/24 win as the first makeup-free contestant to her growing presence in the fashion world, Natasha is proving that authenticity is the new elegance.
Originally from Sheffield and now based in London since 2021, Natasha’s journey into fashion began unexpectedly through the Miss England pageant, where her bold decision to compete bare-faced made national headlines.
“Winning Miss London without makeup was one of the most empowering experiences of my life,” she shares. “It wasn’t about defying beauty standards—it was about celebrating self-acceptance. The messages I received from women and young girls afterward reminded me how important it is to be confident in your own skin.”
That defining moment opened doors to press features, events, and collaborations, but also deepened Natasha’s love for modeling and fashion. Balancing this with a decade-long career as a dental nurse, she embodies a rare combination of compassion and creativity.
“I love being a dental nurse because it allows me to care for people and make a real difference to their quality of life,” she says. “At the same time, fashion gives me an entirely different way to connect—with art, expression, and people.”
Her approach to purpose is refreshingly multidimensional. “I’ve always believed purpose evolves,” Natasha reflects. “We can have more than one. For me, it’s about helping others—whether that’s improving someone’s health or helping them see their own beauty.”
Natasha’s influence extends beyond the runway. Her time volunteering in Uganda with the dental charity Dentaid remains one of her proudest experiences. “We provided emergency dental care across rural areas,” she recalls. “It was humbling and reminded me that our skills—no matter the field—can bring real change when used to help others.”
Living in London has become a source of constant inspiration. “This city has taught me to embrace diversity and self-expression,” she says. “It’s a place where individuality is celebrated. It’s also pushed me to step out of my comfort zone and pursue modeling more seriously.”
As Natasha looks ahead to 2026 and beyond, her ambitions are both global and grounded. She dreams of walking for leading designers in Paris and Milan, signing with an international agency, and attending Fashion Weeks across Europe. “I want to grow as a model, build strong relationships with designers, and use my platform to inspire confidence,” she explains. “Fashion is art, but it’s also emotion—and I want to be part of creating that.”
Her authenticity, compassion, and quiet strength set her apart in an industry often defined by surface appearances.
“I want to keep proving that beauty isn’t perfection—it’s self-belief,” Natasha says. “If I can inspire even one person to embrace who they are, then that’s success to me.”
As she continues her dual path of care and creativity, Natasha Beresford stands at the intersection of purpose and passion—a new face of fashion who embodies grace, empathy, and the courage to be real.
