Camille LaTulip, daughter of Joe and Michelle LaTulip is the new Miss Posen. Master of ceremonies Randy Idalski read her name setting off a celebration of hugs as Tania Styma, Miss Posen 2016 put the crown on the new queen’s head.

“This means the world to me. It is so unexpected. I had so much fun during this experience. I got so close to the girls that I’ve known for 13 years but right now I don’t think I’ve ever been more close with them,” she said. She won the poise and appearance and coordination awards.
