Celene Hall crowned Miss Universe Jamaica 2026

Celene Hall, a 25-year-old executive manager from Portland, has been crowned Miss Universe Jamaica 2026. Hall won the title during a coronation ceremony held at the AC Hotel in New Kingston, competing against 33 other contestants.

The event featured the return of outgoing titleholder Gabrielle Henry. Dr. Henry, who had been absent from official duties for nearly nine months, appeared on stage to pass the crown to Hall. Henry had been recovering from serious injuries, including an intracranial hemorrhage and facial fractures, following a fall through a stage opening during the Miss Universe pageant in Bangkok, Thailand, in November 2025.

Dr. Tianna McDaniel was named first runner-up, while Kadejah Anderson took third place. Hall, who previously served as Miss Universe Jamaica Portland, will now represent the country in international competitions.
