Nadeeka Perera - International Best Female Model 2007

Nadeeka Perera was born and grew up in Colombo. Having successfully completed a professional course in modelling she entered into the fashion world by becoming a professional model. Nadeeka always wanted to be included in the fashion world and with some encouragement she entered Capri Queen in 2004 as she had the right height.The eldest in the family, with two younger brothers, Nadeeka also has a passion for designing costume jewellery.

When she was chosen first runner up, Miss Geraldine Bandaranayaka took her under her wing till she entered the Miss Sri Lanka for Miss world contest. In the year 2005, she was crowned as Miss Sri Lanka. After winning the crown she represented the nation for the Miss World contest.



Since then she has participated in the Model of the Year 2006 contest and having won the title, represented Sri Lanka in Alcante, Spain and won the title of International Best Female Model for 2007.

Later on she started following a beauty culture course and sharpened her knowledge to expose herself into the world in the line of modelling. Nadeeka had the passion for designing from the beginning not just because she had the talent but had a taste for creativity. She was different and was never afraid of the challenges.




The super model Nadeeka Samanmalee Perera represented Sri Lanka at the pageant in Alcante, Spain. This is the first time a Sri Lankan woman won a world's first place in this category apart from the four mini titles, Miss Photogenic, Miss Glamour, Best National Costume and Miss Catwalk. Her victory opened many opportunities and she was very glad that the experience she gained will help develop Sri Lanka’s fashion industry. Nadeeka said this achievement was an honour to the country, because she mastered the art of modelling within a very short period and she is ready to represent the country in any future pageants or events.






“This title would be a great opportunity for me to enter the international field to develop my modelling career after which I could make use of that knowledge to serve the country,” said a starry-eyed Nadeeka Perera.
