My name is Kseniya Kurakevich, I am 20 years old and I have the honor to represent Belarus at Miss Europe Continental 2025. At the moment I live in Warsaw, a city that inspires me every day with its mix of history and modern energy, while I travel often across Europe pursuing my modeling career.
– Can you tell us something about your childhood and your family? What is the most beautiful memory you hold dear?
I grew up in a very warm and supportive family in Belarus. My most cherished memories are summer evenings with my parents — simple but magical moments filled with laughter, love, and the feeling that the whole world was open before me. That warmth gave me the foundation to dream big.
– You are known for your elegance and chic style. How would you define your approach to fashion and personal image?
For me, fashion is not just clothing, it is self-expression. I like to combine timeless elegance with a touch of modern freshness. A perfectly tailored blazer, a little black dress, a delicate accessory, I believe that true style lies in details and in the way a woman carries herself.
– How would you describe your personality and the way you want to express yourself to the public?
I would say I’m ambitious, optimistic, and full of energy. At the same time, I deeply value kindness. Through my image and actions, I want to show that beauty is not only external, it is the strength to inspire, to be compassionate, and to pursue your dreams with determination.
– You travel a lot: what is the most beautiful memory you have brought back from one of your trips?
One of the most unforgettable memories for me was my first time in Paris. Walking along the Seine at sunset, seeing the Eiffel Tower glowing in the evening light, I felt like I was inside a dream. But beyond the beauty of the city, Paris gave me something very personal: it was there that I felt my first true attraction to fashion. Watching the elegance of Parisians, the boutiques, and the creative atmosphere, I realized that style is not just about clothes, it is an art and a language of self-expression. That trip made me want to dedicate myself even more to the world of beauty and fashion.
– Is there a book, a film, or a person who has deeply inspired you in life?
The biggest inspiration in my life has always been my mother, her elegance, resilience, and wisdom guide me in everything I do. But on a creative and personal level, I am also deeply inspired by The Weeknd. For me, he is not only a music genius, but also a true fashion icon. The way he built his path step by step, never giving up, motivates me to pursue my own goals with the same determination. I even have a tattoo “XO” as a reminder of how powerful inspiration can be.
– What is the most important piece of advice you have ever received and always carry with you?
“Believe in yourself, especially when it’s difficult.” These words stay with me always. They remind me that challenges are not obstacles, but opportunities to discover new strength within myself.
– Representing Belarus for the first time in such an important international pageant like Miss Europe Continental must be very exciting. How do you feel about this upcoming experience?
It is both an honor and a responsibility. Representing Belarus on such a stage makes me proud and motivates me to show the best of myself and my country. I’m very excited about the experience, meeting inspiring women from all over Europe, sharing cultures, and celebrating beauty in all its forms.
– Miss Europe Continental will be your first international pageant. What are your expectations and fears?
I expect it to be a life-changing experience, full of growth, new friendships, and unforgettable memories. Of course, I feel some nerves, but I see them as positive energy that pushes me to do my very best.
– Where do you see yourself in five years? What dreams and goals do you hope to achieve both personally and professionally?
In five years, I see myself as an international model, collaborating with global fashion brands and walking the world’s most iconic runways. But beyond my professional dreams, I also want to use my platform for good, to create charitable projects supporting women and children, and to inspire young people to never stop believing in their dreams.
– Thank you for your time Kseniya and for sharing something about yourself with the Miss Europe Continental community. See you soon in Naples.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I look forward to Naples, to meeting incredible people, and to starting this unforgettable journey with the Miss Europe Continental family.
