The reigning Miss California US Nation 2026 continues her pageant and modeling journey following appearances at fashion events in New York and Denver.
LONG BEACH, Calif.
Janaye Ashley, the reigning Miss California US Nation 2026, is continuing her journey with the Miss US Nation pageant system as she prepares to advance to the national Miss US Nation competition later this year.
Janaye earned the California state title at the Miss West Coast US Nation 2026 regional pageant, where she was selected to represent California and move forward on the road to the national competition. Her state title followed the beginning of her Miss US Nation journey at the local level, where she represented the city of Long Beach as Miss Long Beach US Nation 2026.
Since becoming a titleholder, Janaye has continued building experience across pageantry, modeling and fashion events. She has participated in several Fashion Week productions, including Super Chic New York Fashion Week Winter and Super Chic Denver Fashion Week.
Her participation in Denver also expanded beyond the runway, as Janaye had the opportunity to serve as a host during the Super Chic Denver Fashion Week event.
The appearances have allowed Janaye to continue developing her presence within the fashion and pageant industries while representing the Miss US Nation organization across multiple events and markets.
Her progression from a local Long Beach title to the California state crown reflects a growing role within the Miss US Nation pageant system. Janaye is now preparing for the next stage of that journey as she advances toward the national Miss US Nation competition.
Janaye’s earlier selection as Miss California US Nation 2026 was announced following the Miss West Coast US Nation 2026 competition. She joined other regional and state titleholders selected to advance toward the national pageant.
Beyond pageantry, Janaye has also built a growing presence in modeling. Her journey has included runway appearances and fashion-focused events that have provided opportunities to work in different production environments while continuing to represent her state title.
As she moves toward the national competition, Janaye plans to continue participating in pageant, fashion and modeling opportunities while representing California within the Miss US Nation organization.
