Miss Grand International 2026 Results in Thailand

Overview

The 14th edition of the Miss Grand International beauty pageant concluded on October 10, 2026, in Bangkok, Thailand. Jihan Dimack of Tanzania, who is of Lebanese descent, was crowned Miss Grand International 2026. Her victory marks the first time a representative from the African continent has won the title, ending a two-year winning streak by the Philippines and succeeding Emma Mary Tiglao.

Dimack was noted for her runway skills and her safari-inspired national costume. During the final round, when asked about the qualities of an empowered woman, Dimack emphasized leading with kindness. The final rankings placed Shyare Andrade of Ecuador as first runner-up, Beau Megan Goos of the Netherlands as second runner-up, Ximena Carrillo of Guatemala as third runner-up, and Emoura Pham of Vietnam as fourth runner-up. Pham received significant attention for her speech regarding peace and her commitment to being a “bridge” to connect people, referencing her family’s bridge-building project in the Mekong Delta.

Following her victory, Dimack returned to Tanzania, where fans in Dar es Salaam prepared a large reception at the Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) Terminal 3. Dimack expressed gratitude to the people of Thailand and the media for their support. Her win highlights the expansion of international beauty pageant licenses in Tanzania, which now holds 13 such licenses.

Vietnamese designers also played a prominent role in the competition. Nguyen Minh Tuan designed gowns for contestants from Brazil, China, Georgia, Peru, and the Netherlands. Additionally, Thuong Gia Ky tailored designs for multiple international contestants to suit their individual personalities and stage presence.
