Career
As a child, Oxlade began modeling, joining pageants and participating in theatrical productions. Before moving into the Philippines she competed in Body Shots UK and Miss Philippines UK. On 10 March 2005, she defeated 25 ladies to represent the Philippines in the Miss Hawaiian Tropic International Pageant. She won the Miss Photogenic and Miss EarthCam Face awards in the 2005 Miss Hawaiian Tropic International Pageant held in Las Vegas, Nevada last 2 May 2005. She was offered a spread in Playboy magazine with a fee of $25,000 which she turned down.
In the Philippines, Oxlade worked as a model, doing projects for Fila, Kamiseta, and Avon, and fronted the all-girl singing group Kitty Girls. She, along with Ayanna Oliva, appeared in all incarnations of the group—originally a quintet with Nicole Deen, Veronica Scott and Tanya Yuquimpo, reduced to a trio when Yuquimpo and Deen left, and to a relaunched Kitty Girls with Khai Lim as third member.
