Cara Rgnonti

Cara is another mysterious 'hybrid' model whom I believe deserve more recognition.

DOB: 1999 or 2000 (presumable in Minnesota)

Pageants: Miss Minnesota USA, 2024 - 1st Runner-up

Miss Minnesota USA, 2023 - 2nd Runner-up & Miss Photogenic (representing Mendota Heights; it's at the east of Minneapolis-Saint Paul)

Miss Kansa USA, 2022 - 3rd Runner-up (representing Kechi in outer Wichita)

Miss Minnesota USA, 2021 - I don't think she placed, unfortunately; a beauty pageant site in 2024 summarized her earlier career as "(2RU 23, 3RU KS USA 22, SF MN USA 21)". SF might be Saint Francis, north of Minneapolis. Using their shorthand we would add 1RU MN 24 to the list.

"️Kansas City Fashion Spotlight️
Today’s Spotlight is dedicated to an incredibly talented singer & musician who is an ally & advocate for those affected by addiction...

Cara is a 22 year old musician who has been singing, performing, playing guitar and ukulele for over a decade. The past several years, she has toured the United States in concert, and performed for over 25,000 people at U.S. Bank Stadium. She has been to every state in the continental USA.

While on tour, Cara made stops to over 50 Adult & Teen Challenge centers with a mission to ignite positivity through music."

"On Sunday May 8th 2022, a new Miss Kansas USA was crowned... The top 5 included Ellie Green from Johnson County, Cara Rgnonti from Kechi, Darby Davis from Kansas City, and Kirstin Bangs from Hutchinson." The winner was Elyse Noe.

Music: She has 10 tracks on streaming sites with, including 1 album, "Unconditional", from 2019 . Her voice sounds really good to me, but she doesn't seem to have many fans :(

Artist profile images:

There is also a music video with footage of Cara; "Tru-Sevra - New Level (feat. Cara Rgnonti)", on Apple Music.

The few pageant related images I could find:

A video from Miss Minnesota 2023 (quality is mediocre though):

A few fashion images, until I can find more:

Sveral social media quality videos, including 1 of her doing casting interviews and another doing an intro:

Cara Rgnonti's walk in a sky blue one-piece at the Delarose Sisters 2025 show in Miami:

It took a bit of time to do internet research on Cara and put together the her first post. I guess the above in all of it's imperfections (along with Cara's Instagram) is her portfolio, since I cannot find her associated with any modelling agency

A compilation from some of the Miami shows she participated in, in 2024, in 4k resolution (Youtube embed):

I'm not sure if she is a full-time model now, or just casual/part-time model. [There doesn't seem to be a part 2; only Rachel Pizzolato had more than a one part compilation from that specific Youtube channel]
