Miss Universe 2026 national pageant coronations

Overview

Various national winners have been crowned to represent their respective countries at the upcoming 75th Miss Universe competition in Puerto Rico.

In late August 2026, Tharina Botes was named Miss Universe Thailand 2026 in Bangkok. Shortly thereafter, Tatenda Josephina Rameau was crowned Miss Universe Haiti 2026 during a ceremony held in Miami, Florida. On August 29, María Vargas was crowned Miss Universe Mexico 2026 in Los Cabos. Vargas, a 28-year-old professional from Jalisco, received the crown from outgoing titleholder Fátima Bosch and won Best National Costume. She has since addressed the circulation of AI-manipulated images and is currently working on a second book while preparing for the international final.

Additional regional coronations include Elizabeth Johnson as Miss Universe Aruba 2026. In early September, Suny Gálvez was named Miss Universal Grand 2026 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Other recent winners include Jasmine Chola, crowned Miss Universe Nicaragua 2026 in Miami, and Gabriela Lineth González, named Miss Universe Panama 2026. González noted her commitment to representing Panama despite facing public criticism regarding her victory.

All these titleholders are scheduled to compete in the international pageant, which is set for November 24 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
