The first round of interviews for Miss Hong Kong 2025 kicked off last week. As with previous years’ pageants, the background of standout candidates started to surface. One of the standout contestants this year is Angela Stanton (施宇琪), 26, whose mixed-race features and beauty quickly overshadowed other contestants.
Angela is of Chinese and British descendant and has a strong online presence with over 146,000 followers. Despite being an influencer, Angela graduated from University of Cambridge and is currently a finance professional working at an investment bank in Hong Kong.
Sharing about her academic and career successes, Angela expressed, “I was lucky to be born into a warm middle-class family in 1999. I attended Diocesan Girls’ Junior School and later got into the prestigious Chinese International School after two tries. I didn’t come from money, so I pushed myself to succeed. At 13, I scored full marks on the SAT. At 14, I got perfect scores on four AP exams. I also competed in school debate competitions to improve my speaking skills.”
Angela went on to study economics at Cambridge, earning first class honors and completed a master’s degree in 2024. She continued, “At 18, I landed a summer internship with Goldman Sachs. In my third year, I became President of the Cambridge Chinese Society and met many public figures. My career has just begun, but I’ll carry the drive I had as a student into everything I do.”
In front of the media, Angela carried herself calmly and with confidence. Netizens were impressed with Angela’s brains, beauty, ambition, aura and self-assurance.
