The Top 20 delegates of Miss World 2026 dazzled in their evening gowns as they participated in one of the pageant's final preliminary segments during the coronation night on Sept. 5 in the coastal city of Nha Trang, Vietnam.

Every year, the Miss World's evening gown competition is a highly anticipated portion of the finals night. This year is no different. From 111 candidates, only 20 ladies made it to this part of the tilt, including the Philippines' Asia Rose Simpson.

Take a look at the queens who stunned onstage with their grace, confidence, and style, grouped continentally.
