Jojo Bragais, ex-Miss Universe 2025 jury member Omar Harfouch among judges of MGI All Stars
The judges for the first edition of the Miss Grand International All Stars have been announced.
The panel will include pageant veterans as well as other personalities from different countries, including renowned Filipino shoe designer Jojo Bragais and French-Lebanese composer Omar Harfouch.
Other confirmed judges include Miss Grand International 2022 Isabella Menin from Brazil, Miss Universe 2005 Natalie Glebova from Canada, and former Miss Valenzuela Organization president Osmel Sousa.
Bragais was previously a judge at Miss USA 2024, while Harfouch was a jury member of Miss Universe 2025 before he resigned and alleged that there was an "impromptu jury" that selected finalists. The Miss Universe Organization denied Harfouch's claims.
MGI previously announced that the pageant activities will take place from May 16 to 30 in Bangkok and Damnoen Saduak, Thailand. The beauty queens will take part in a talent competition, runway challenge, portrait challenge, and preliminary swimsuit, evening gown, and bare face competition.
The grand final is set for May 30 at the MGI Hall.
The winner will be awarded the All Stars crown along with a hefty prize money valued between $100,000 (P5.9 million) and $1 million (P59.2 million).
In a TikTok live broadcast, Miss Grand International 2025 Emma Tiglao revealed that the $1 million grand prize can only be claimed if the All Stars winner successfully defends her crown by winning three consecutive editions of the All Stars pageant. She also clarified that MGI All Stars is a separate pageant from Miss Grand International.
So far, five Filipinas will compete: Gazini Ganados, Alexia Núñez, Fuschia Anne Ravena, Keylyn Trajano, and Imelda Schweighart.
