Being born in Nashville, Tennessee, having grown up in Central Florida (Orlando/Oviedo/Lake Nona/Waterford Lakes) and spent her high school years in Trenton, Sidney is considered to be a local girl with ties to several places. She is truly a product of each. A real melting pot of diverse experiences, cultures, and ideas.
Sidney Danyel Allen is the inaugural Universe United Miss Teen Kentucky 2025. At the Universe United Miss International Teen 2025 competition, she earned a 4th-place national finish after securing the most votes in her division for People’s Choice, which advanced her into the Top 5. Her pageant journey began at the 2023 Miss Kentucky Teen USA preliminaries, where she was honored with the Miss Congeniality award at her very first competition. This summer, she transitioned into the Miss division, placing 1st Runner-Up at the Miss Crittenden County Fair Pageant, and is preparing to compete in the Miss Bowling Green preliminary for the Miss America Organization.
Beyond pageantry, Sidney is rapidly building a footprint in the fashion and modeling industry. She will walk in New York Fashion Week 2025 with Charming Elite Pageants and be featured on two Times Square billboards with Art & Beauty Magazine: Beauty is Everywhere. She has also been highlighted by Supermodels Unlimited Magazine’s Facebook page as a contestant for their six-month Times Square billboard exclusive and was featured on Child Model Magazine’s Facebook page as a contestant in the Season 3 Fresh Faces contest. Her growing list of media recognition includes features and upcoming publications such as ICONIQUE Magazine (feature, page 52, and currently in the running for Model of the Quarter 3rd Quarter, with automatic entry into Model of the Year Awards), and More Than A Crown Magazine (feature, back cover, and exclusive interview publishing Sept. 6).
Sidney has also been highlighted by Teen Couture Magazine’s official Facebook page ahead of their upcoming issue releases, with four features confirmed, as well as being notified of a selected feature in Child Couture Magazine. She also holds two features with Richey’s Royal Magazine. At just 18 years old, Sidney is not only a model and titleholder but also a youth empowerment advocate. Her personal platform, “Be Your Kind of Beautiful — Your Kind of Beautiful is PowerFULL,” inspires confidence, celebrates individuality, and uplifts the neurodiverse community. A two-time Dean’s List college student, she continues to merge her passions for service, education, and fashion, aiming to use her visibility on stage, in print, and on the runway to encourage others to embrace their power and potential.
Looking toward her very bright future, Sidney hopes to complete her education and travel abroad while bringing awareness to the need for more inclusive educational opportunities for people of all ages. Creating avenues for customized individual learning environments among
homeschoolers and public schools is of particular interest to her. She hopes to break language barriers and eliminate cultural bias by exploring global strategies which focus on mental health and wellness.
