Mothers got the opportunity to shine at last Saturday's 2012 Lady Shimeer Elegant Mother pageant held in Malabar, Arima.
The coveted title was contested by seven mothers, with Giselle Charles emerging the winner.
The 2011 winner, Melissa Wallen, was on hand to crown Charles.
The women were serenaded by Terry George. This year's Small Conventional Bands Panorama Finals champion, Arima Golden Symphony, spiced up the entertainment with musical interludes.
