Pageant schedule
The All Star journey begins as the ladies touch down in Thailand on Jan. 25, 2026. From Jan. 26 through Feb. 7, the schedule is packed with pageant activities: travel missions, portrait photoshoots, and fashion shows to showcase the contestants’ “star quality.”
On Feb. 8, the ladies will be rehearsing for the final competition.
The preliminary activities will take place over two days. On Feb. 9 will be the swimsuit and evening gown competitions, while Feb. 10 will feature cocktail dresses and the bare-faced look competition to highlight delegates natural beauty. Results from the preliminaries will determine the Top 25 who will advance to the finals.
The finals night will be held on Feb. 13 in Bangkok, Thailand. Scores for the Top 25 will once again be reset to zero at the start of the competition, as judges narrow the group down to the Top 10, then the Top 5, who will compete in the question-and-answer round. From there, the MGI All Stars winner will be crowned and take home $100,000 to $1,000,000 (P5,907,400 to P59,074,000).
In a TikTok live broadcast, Miss Grand International 2025 Emma Tiglao revealed that the $1,000,000 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.
Tiglao won a back-to-back victory for the Philippines after she was crowned as Miss Grand International 2025, following the reign of fellow Filipina queen Christine Juliane Opiaza.
She bested 76 other candidates during the pageant's much-awaited coronation night on Oct. 18 at the MGI Hall in Bangkok, Thailand.
