Róisín Tuohy: Ireland’s Next Generation of Models, she joins Olivia Gear as Ireland's Models heading to Runway
By Paris Runway Official — July 2025
In the lush heart of Offaly, Ireland, a rising star is turning heads and winning hearts across the fashion and pageant world. At just 20 years old, Róisín Tuohy is not only the reigning Miss Tipperary in the 77th Miss Ireland competition, but also a Top Model titleholder and one of the Top Eight finalists in this year’s national pageant. Yet beyond the crowns, the catwalks, and the campaigns, lies a young woman fueled by authenticity, compassion, and purpose.
Róisín isn’t just Ireland’s next top model.... she’s a student nurse, a barista, a charity ambassador, and a voice of unapologetic self-expression. And she’s just getting started.
The Pageant Stage: Confidence and Camaraderie
Róisín entered the world of pageantry seeking growth and what she found was transformation. “This experience gave me confidence and friends for life,” she shares, reflecting on her journey through Miss Ireland. Winning Miss Top Model was a defining moment, but her spot in the top eight finalists proved that her impact was more than skin deep.
It was here she discovered her true passion for fashion, something that had always lived quietly within her but now shines with full force.
Modelling, Realness, and the Rise of Authenticity
As her passion for runway modelling bloomed, Róisín took bold steps outside her comfort zone... auditioning for shows, building her portfolio, and cultivating a community online.
But her social media presence isn’t curated perfection... it’s unfiltered honesty.
“There’s a realness to my feed. I’m as authentic as I can be with my followers. I show up as myself... unapologetically unperfect.” In a digital age filled with filters and facades, Róisín’s transparency is refreshing and rare.
Her online voice is as bubbly and bright as her personality, balancing high-energy charisma with grounded self-awareness. She’s the friend you root for and the model you remember.
A Nurse with Heart and a Purpose Beyond Fashion
Off the runway, Róisín is a student nurse at University College Cork, where her days are filled with caring for others, learning critical healthcare skills, and embracing empathy as a lifestyle.
“Nursing has given me perspective,” she says. “It’s a profession that teaches patience, grace, and responsibility and it shapes how I view everything in life, even fashion.” It’s this duality.... the glamour of pageants and the grit of nursing that makes Róisín’s story so uniquely powerful.
She is also a dedicated ambassador for Cardiac Risk in the Young, where she lends her platform to fundraise, promote awareness, and lead initiatives in memory and in mission.
Balancing Dreams and Duty
Between studying, fundraising, content creation, and part-time shifts as a barista, Róisín’s calendar is full but so is her heart.
“I thrive on progression,” she says. “Whether it’s modelling, nursing, or something entirely new, I’m always aiming to grow.”
She’s a young woman with vision and voice... a grounded dreamer proving that success doesn’t have to come at the expense of sincerity.
Final Thoughts
Róisín Tuohy is a model, yes... but she’s also a role model. Her story reflects a new generation of beauty queens and fashion faces: real, resilient, and relentlessly authentic.
From the catwalk to the clinic, Róisín is redefining what it means to wear a crown and why compassion, character, and courage matter more than ever in the spotlight.
