Vietnam contestant makes an energetic swimsuit debut at Miss Grand

Miss Grand International 2026 contestants took to the stage for the swimsuit competition on September 29, with Vietnam's Emoura Pham delivering an energetic performance in a pink two-piece swimsuit.

Pham combined dynamic movements, turns and poses as she performed on stage.

Her appearance drew cheers from the audience at the venue, while photos and videos of the Vietnamese contestant were later shared widely on beauty forums. Viewers from Vietnam and abroad posted positive comments about her performance.

Before the swimsuit competition, Pham had already made several appearances in audience-voted categories and subsidiary events at Miss Grand International 2026.

She placed in the Top 10 of the Pre-Arrival vote, which was held before the main competition began. She later topped the Grand Day Experience vote and was the only Asian contestant to make the Top 10 in that category.

In the Talent competition, Pham reached the Top 15 and also advanced to the Top 40 in the Country's Power of the Year category.

Fashion has also helped maintain her visibility throughout the competition. She has regularly changed her style, opting for colourful outfits featuring bold cuts and distinctive designs.

Images of the Vietnamese contestant have appeared frequently on regional beauty forums, while interviews and backstage moments have been shared by beauty-focused accounts in Thailand and elsewhere in Asia.

Another notable aspect of Pham's profile is her English-language ability. Born in 2000 to a British father and Vietnamese mother, she moved to the US to study at the age of 15.

During the competition, Pham has also highlighted her family story and a project to build 100 community bridges in the Mekong Delta. She has repeatedly mentioned her grandmother and mother while discussing the initiative.

Miss Grand International 2026 will enter its decisive stage in early October, with the semi-final scheduled for October 7 and the final set for October 10.
