Caroline Lucy Anne Jurie (Sinhala: කැරොලයින් ජූරි) (born 5 October 1992)[1] is a Sri Lankan model and beauty pageant winner. She was the winner of Mrs. World 2020.
Mrs. World 2020[edit]
Jurie is the winner of the Mrs. World title in 2020.[3][4] She won the Mrs. Sri Lanka 2019 beauty pageant and represented her country at the Mrs. World 2020 contest held on 7 December 2019 at the grand finale held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.[5][6][7][8] Prominent beautician and entrepreneur Chandimal Jayasinghe provided guidance and make-up to her prior to taking part at the Mrs. World 2020 contest.[9][10][11][12]
While Mrs. World, Jurie modeled at Colombo Fashion Week wearing the "unbreakable" collection by Amilani Perera, made by women and girls who endured domestic violence.[13] She also worked as a sales executive at the Virgin Mega Store in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. She is also an Instagram model with over 79000 followers.[14]
2021 Mrs. Sri Lanka pageant controversy[edit]
In April 2021, Jurie became the subject of controversy when she rushed to the stage and took the crown off from the head of 2021 Mrs. Sri Lanka World winner Pushpika De Silva announcing that De Silva is divorced and was crowned contrary to the pageant rules. Jurie declared over the microphone that there is a rule about being married and not divorced, and that she was taking the first steps in saying that the crown goes to the first runner up.[15] She forcefully removed the crown from De Silva's head, and crowned the runner up as winner with the help of Chula Padmendra, allegedly injuring De Silva in the process. De Silva walked off the stage, with the runner up confused and giving an acceptance speech.[16][17][18][19][20]
De Silva and the pageant organization announced that Jurie was factually wrong, that De Silva is not divorced and remains legally married, though estranged, and that legal action would be taken against Jurie for the assault, allegedly resulting in head injuries, and public humiliation. De Silva was treated at a hospital, and lodged an official complaint.[21]
De Silva was reinstated as Mrs. Sri Lanka shortly after.[22][23] On 8 April 2021, Jurie and Padmendra were arrested by the police.[24][25]
The Mrs World organization announced later in April that Kate Schneider from Ireland, who was the first runner up when Jurie won the title, was the winner following the voluntary resignation of Caroline Jurie. [26]
