Emoura Phạm Crowned Miss Grand Vietnam 2026

Emoura Phạm, a mixed‑heritage Vietnamese‑British contestant, was crowned Miss Grand Vietnam 2026 at the final held in Ho Chi Minh City on the night of 31 July 2026 (extending into 1 August). She will represent Vietnam at Miss Grand International 2026 in India later this year.

The pageant also saw Ngô Bảo Ngọc named first runner‑up and Phan Lê Kim Ngọc placed as third runner‑up. Controversies surrounded the event: Phạm previously drew criticism for a bikini segment, while Kim Ngọc disclosed a past incident of school‑yard violence. Former title‑holder Yến Nhi suffered a brief fall on a motorbike during the final but recovered and continued the show. The night featured a strong focus on the contestants’ personal stories and their visions for Ho Chi Minh City.

Overall, the competition highlighted the growing prominence of mixed‑heritage models in Vietnam’s beauty‑pageant scene and set the stage for the country’s participation in the upcoming international contest.
