The Miss Grand International 2026 competition is currently being held in Thailand. The event has seen significant attention for South American contestants, specifically Micaela Viveros of Paraguay, who has been described by the Miss Grand Paraguay director as a “grand favorite” due to intense fan support in Thailand.

Chilean representative Ignacia Michelson also drew attention after a minor stumble during a runway walk. Michelson maintained her composure and noted that “a stumble does not define the whole path,” reporting that she remained among the top 10 most voted contestants.
