Bao Ngoc is predicted by beauty sites to be crowned Miss World 2026

Famous beauty sites Missosology, Sash Factor, and Pageanthology all predicted that Bao Ngoc would be crowned Miss World 2026 in the final that will take place tonight.

On the morning of September 5, dozens of beauty pages and forums released a table predicting the results of the 73rd Miss World, taking place in Khanh Hoa on the same evening. Many famous units choose Bao Ngoc as the number one candidate for the crown. Behind her are other outstanding beauties from France, Brazil, and the Philippines.

Previously, in Missosology's first prediction table on August 28, Bao Ngoc ranked fifth. After a week of showing herself in the final stage, she took the lead. Similar to Sash Factor, Bao Ngoc rose from third place to first place when the contest reached the halfway point and has remained strong until now.

For the first time, a Vietnamese contestant competing in Miss World received high ratings before the final like Bao Ngoc. The selection was made by experts based on observing the contestants' performance for nearly a month on the playground. Before the finals, Bao Ngoc was sure to enter the top 40 after winning the title of "Top Model of Asia". In addition, she attracted attention in other additional rounds, winning the hearts of many contestants for her friendliness.

In recent seasons, Missosology and Sash Factor's predictions have been quite accurate, close to the judges' choices. According to many viewers, the prediction does not affect the final result but is a recognition of Bao Ngoc's efforts and helps her feel more confident before the final round.

Bao Ngoc said thank you for the love and reviews of the specialized pages. "I am not under pressure, on the contrary, I have more confidence. The biggest thing I have received in return in the past journey is the love of domestic and international audiences," she said.

Bao Ngoc participated in the rehearsal on the evening of September 4 with 110 contestants. At the end of the late night program, she was touched when her parents appeared to cheer her up. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Hai said she hoped her daughter would stay healthy and make more efforts to bring pride to the audience. Bao Ngoc also received many good luck wishes from friends and showbiz colleagues such as Miss Thanh Thuy, Y Nhi, Le Hoang Phuong, Kieu Duy, runner-up Ngoc Hang, and Dao Hien.

Before stepping on stage on the decisive exam night, Bao Ngoc said he felt comfortable. She said she would accept all results with a calm attitude.

The beauty's full name is Le Nguyen Bao Ngoc, 25 years old, from Can Tho, 1.86 m tall, once crowned Miss Intercontinental 2022. In recent years, Bao Ngoc founded Gen Zero, an organization aimed at empowering young people to participate in climate and sustainable development issues, and is preparing to study for a master's degree in public policy and environment in the US.

After 72 seasons, Miss World took place for the first time in Vietnam, organized by Golden Lotus Company in coordination with Miss World Organization, passing through three provinces including Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Khanh Hoa from August 8 to September 5. The final will take place at the outdoor stage, set up on Nha Trang beach in the April 2 Square campus.

Miss World, first held in 1951, is one of the two largest and oldest beauty contests in the world, besides Miss Universe. The playground celebrates the spirit of global solidarity by finding girls with beauty, education and meaningful community projects.
