A Crown with a Cause

In a town known for its coastal charm and vibrant local culture, Isabelle Kratz is quickly becoming one of Caloundra’s most inspiring young leaders. At just 18, she’s already a national titleholder, a fashion entrepreneur, a mental health advocate, and a proud ambassador for her hometown. Her story is one of passion, purpose, and a deep commitment to community. And it’s only just beginning.

Earlier this year, Isabelle was crowned Miss Teen Galaxy Australia 2025 at the prestigious Australia Galaxy Pageant National Final. The title is more than a sash and a crown, it’s a platform she’s using to amplify causes close to her heart. In August, she’ll take that mission global as she represents Australia at the Galaxy International Pageant in the United States, bringing with her not just national pride, but the spirit of Caloundra.

Isabelle’s reign is rooted in giving back. On 11 July, she will host the Belle of the Ball Charity Gala at the Caloundra Powerboat Club, a glamorous evening with a powerful purpose: raising funds for Batyr, a youth mental health charity. Having already raised over $3,500 for Batyr during her national finalist journey, Isabelle is determined to continue supporting young people through open conversations and community-driven action.

Isabelle’s advocacy doesn’t stop at fundraising. She’s the founder of For Every Beautiful Body, a platform dedicated to helping women of all ages heal from bullying, mental health struggles, and body image issues. Her message is one of radical self-love and resilience, and she’s using her voice to create safe spaces for others to feel seen, heard, and supported.

Alongside her advocacy, Isabelle is also a creative force in the fashion world. She co-founded Belle Le Chic, a fashion label proudly launched and operated out of her Bulcock Street Studio in Caloundra. The brand has become a staple in local shopping events, fashion parades, and boutique showcases, blending style with substance and empowering women to feel confident in their own skin.

Belle Le Chic is a key player in the new Caloundra Shopping Tours, an initiative designed to promote local boutiques and awareness of the pockets of gold we have here in Caloundra. Isabelle’s involvement in these tours reflects her deep commitment to shop local initiatives and her passion for spotlighting small businesses that form the backbone of the community.

Isabelle’s journey is marked by tireless community service. Over the course of her national pageant campaign, she volunteered at 33 community events, many of them right here in Caloundra. From local fundraisers to family festivals, she’s shown up with heart and hands ready to help. Isabelle plans to continue this work as she prepares for the international stage.

Isabelle’s love for fashion and public speaking began at just 11 years old, and her talent has taken her to the world’s most prestigious runways. She’s walked in five seasons of international fashion weeks, including Milan, Paris, and New York. Yet, despite her global success, she remains deeply connected to her roots in Caloundra.

Currently studying a Bachelor of Communication at the University of the Sunshine Coast, Isabelle is combining academic insight with real-world experience to become a powerful voice for youth empowerment, mental health, and community leadership.

Isabelle Kratz is more than a beauty queen. She’s a role model and a proud Caloundra local. Her journey shows what's possible when passion meets purpose, and her story continues to inspire young people to believe in themselves and follow their dreams.

As Isabelle prepares to represent Australia on the international stage, Caloundra stands behind her. Not just in admiration, but in celebration of one of its brightest stars. Support Isabelle at the Belle of the Ball event, and follow her journey.
