Crowned with purpose to empower her community

For Lilla, modelling is not just a profession. It is a responsibility, to uplift, to serve and to make every moment count.

Lilla-Ann Adams has been crowned Face of Potchefstroom Mature Model for 2026 and she has stepped into the role with clear purpose and determination.

Her impact, however, began long before the title. In 2025, she was named Elite Model of the Year and honoured with a Women of South Africa Imbokodo Award for her work in community upliftment.

Lilla’s influence reaches where it matters most. From hosting athletics days in Marikana, Promosa with Rise to Shine, to leading cancer awareness workshops, her focus remains on education, empowerment and early detection. She also contributed as an adjudicator for the National Science Booklet, encouraging young minds to grow and explore.

She does not separate platform from purpose. Rooted in Potchefstroom, Lilla has built her journey on consistency, compassion and action.

Now, as she takes on her new title, her focus sharpens with driving cancer awareness initiatives. These initiatives gives special attention to breast cancer and children affected by the disease.
