Irene Maddox was crowned the 2027 Rose Queen during a ceremony at the Tournament House in Pasadena on Oct. 27, 2026. The ceremony also named her to the Rose Court, which consists of seven young women.
The Rose Queen leads the celebrations for the upcoming Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game. Each year the Pasadena Tournament of Roses selects a queen and court to represent the organization during those annual events, continuing a tradition shared by past Rose Queens.
