Emoura Phạm arrives in Thailand for Miss Grand International 2026

Emoura Phạm, representing Vietnam, has arrived in Thailand to begin her journey in the Miss Grand International 2026 pageant. The competition is scheduled to run from September 18 through the grand finale on October 10.

Upon her arrival, Phạm drew significant attention for wearing a stylized pink Ao Dai inspired by the lotus flower, a choice intended to promote Vietnamese cultural heritage. The contestant, who is of Vietnamese and British-South African descent, has spent the past month preparing her physical fitness, dance, and presentation skills for the international stage.

The pageant, founded by Nawat Itsaragrisil, focuses on the message of “ending violence and bringing peace to the world.” The competition will include various segments such as talent, swimwear, closed interviews, and national costume displays.
