TCU student Kelsey French, 21, named 2026 Carnival Queen, honors family legacy with heirloom jewelry and a lily-adorned gown, embodying the theme "Rebirth and Renewal."
Kelsey French, 21, a TCU finance student and Newman School graduate, has been named Queen of Carnival for 2026, continuing a family legacy tied to the Rex organization since 1889.
Her grandmother, the 1959 queen, gifted her a restored heirloom jewelry set, and lilies from their Mississippi farm adorn her parade gown, reflecting the theme “Rebirth and Renewal.” French, who volunteers with a human trafficking nonprofit and interned at a New York investment bank, embraces the role as both an honor and a personal tradition, expressing gratitude for the support of her parents and the city’s Mardi Gras heritage.
