The country NSW pub that celebrates the mullet hairstyle has crowned its first queen of the party-in-the-back hairdo in front of a crowd of hundreds.

The second annual Mulletfest, held in the coal mining town of Kurri Kurri in the Hunter Valley on Saturday, celebrated the divisive hairstyle which rose to prominence in the latter half of the 20th century and fell into obscurity shortly after.

This year marked the first time women entered the competition and their bold looks saw them claim three titles including the ranga - redhead - category which was claimed by Newcastle ginger Elyce Kiem.

But the winner of the everyday mullet and the highly-coveted best mullet of all went to Michelle "Darlzy" Gearin.

Ms Gearin reacted with shock and elation as a beer was poured into her trophy to drink in celebration.

"The mullet is a great d*ckhead filter," she told reporters on Saturday.

Ms Gearin hopes her win will inspire other young women to dress how they want.

"Do whatever you want with your hair girls," she said.
