Miss World 2026 FINAL QUESTION & ANSWER PORTION
Miss World Eritrea 2026 – Snit Habteab Tewoldemedhin
Question: What is the most significant challenge facing your generation today? And as the new Miss World, how can you help to solve it?
Answer: Thank you so much for the question, and thank you so much for this great opportunity for my country for the very first time.
I would say the greatest challenge at this time is using social media the wrong way and not seeing how we could use our opportunities, how we can use our own gifts to uplift others and be voices for those that don't have their own voice to advocate for themselves.
As a neuroscientist major, I would love to use science to prove to parents that their children, regardless of their disability, are capable and have their rightful place in this world. And I would love to encourage the younger generation to also continue to use their voice to uplift others. Thank you so much.
Miss World Vietnam – Le Nguyen Bao Ngoc
Question: Nowadays, success is often associated with wealth, status, and professional achievement. However, each person has his/her own understanding of what it truly means. What is your definition of success?
Answer: My definition of success is my parents who are sitting over there. My parents are both doctors, and they have taught me the value of contribution and sacrifices for other.
I have seen them spend countless night at the ER trying to save other lives, and even though I don't follow them as a doctor, I will contribute as another... in another path.
And the path that I have chosen is to become a policy maker, because I have seen many countries losing their home, their lands. Tuvalu is going to sink in fifty years.
But I don't want to bring grief, gift...Sorry. I don't want to bring gift. I want to bring hope. And the hope that I'm seeing is in the young people who will reshape the future for to become a better future, more sustainable, more secure, and equal for all. Thank you.
Miss World Spain – Elisabeth Reynes Alabern
Question: If you could meet one person to achieve your Beauty with a Purpose goals, whom would you meet and why?
Answer: If I would meet someone for my Beauty with a Purpose, I would meet Josephine Baker. I believe she is a woman that has done a lot for this world.
She was a brave Black woman that actually my grandma knows because she worked with her, and she helped others.
She fought for equality for not only Black people, but for security for everyone, for peace.
I'm a person that seeks for peace. I'm a person that seeks for equality. My Beauty with a Purpose, dyslexia, something I have since I was born, is something I want for everyone, for the kids, for, uh, adults, because it's something you're born with but also something you die with.
So she would be obviously someone I would love to meet just to get to know and to learn. Thank you very much.
Miss World South Africa – Romanda Hombir
Question: Having spent time here with people from all over the world, what are you taking away from this experience?
Answer: After interacting with more than a hundred women at Miss World, I have learned so many different things. But one thing I have seen throughout all of them is the resilience that women carry.
I have heard stories of how some have come from absolutely nothing but made it their life's mission to help others.
I've seen how others have chosen to be courageous enough to try even when they felt like they were not good enough.
And I have also seen how through failure, others have risen, and like myself, I have chosen to be resilient throughout, and I'm hoping that others will be able to not only see my story, but see the women that have stood on this stage as a symbol of not only resilience, but of what is possible when women are given opportunities to shine and invest in our communities.
Thank you.
Miss World Dominican Republic – Joheirry Mola Dominguez
Question: Which beauty with a purpose cause have you supported in your country, and how would you improve it if you were crowned Miss World?
Answer: Xin chào, Vietnam. Buenos dias, Republica Dominicana. I'm so, I'm so happy. Um, my beauty with a purpose is to take English program to kids in vulnerable communities, because I believe that when they know this language, the opportunities that the, the doors that can open to their life, it's a huge, big doors.
Because I was talking to the girls and telling them that thanks to that tool, we are here. We have the tool to express our feelings, to express our, our purpose, and for me, it's something that I will take always in my heart, that I could give, give, give those kids very...something very important. There's a tool they're gonna work for the rest of their life. Thank you so much.
Miss World Malaysia – Taanusiya Chetty
Question: To you is, what responsibility do you have to protect the environment for the future generations? And how would you inspire children to join that mission?
Answer: If I had to reflect the profession of me as a teacher, I would influence students to plant trees at a very young age, because that is also a responsible for them to believe how the plant can take time to grow from the seeds they planted.
And imagined walking a path with full of thunderstorms, and you don't have anyone to offer you an umbrella.
But I want to be that sort of teacher who offers the students, no matter what background they are, the seeds they planted takes time to grow. And when you do that, you will influence many other people around the world.
Thank you.
