On August 31, Vietnamese representative Le Nguyen Bao Ngoc was announced to be in the Top 24 Beauty With a Purpose at Miss World 2026.
With this result, Bao Ngoc continues to maintain stable performance in the sub-competitions before the final.
Beauty With a Purpose is one of the important and characteristic parts of Miss World. Instead of focusing on appearance, contestants introduce social projects, community activities and values they pursue.
For many years, achievements at Beauty With a Purpose have also been considered one of the notable factors when evaluating high-ranking competitors.
At Miss World 2026, Bao Ngoc brought the Gen Zero - Vietnam Youth Climate Empowerment Pathway project, focusing on empowering young people to participate in solving climate change issues.
Previously, in the Head to Head Challenge, the representative of Vietnam also mentioned the issue of climate change and the role of the young generation. She gave examples of island nations affected by sea level rise, and also contacted the Mekong Delta - a region facing many challenges from climate change.
According to the information Bao Ngoc introduced at the contest, the project aims to create conditions for young people not only to participate in environmental activities but also to have a voice in the process of policy making and creating systemic changes.
Being in the Top 24 of Beauty With a Purpose helps Bao Ngoc have another notable milestone in her journey at Miss World this year.
Before this achievement, the representative of Vietnam won the Top Model Asia - Oceania region competition, thereby winning a direct ticket to the Top 40 overall.
Bao Ngoc also entered the Top 20 Head to Head Challenge. In this competition, she was in the group of 5 excellent contestants in the Asia - Oceania region before representative of Philippines Asia Rose Simpson won the regional championship.
In the Talent competition, Bao Ngoc continued to enter the Top 23 with a performance combining singing, rap and playing stone lute. She and the members of the team also won the Head Chef Beauty challenge.
Thus, as of August 31, Bao Ngoc has achieved results in many competitions including Top Model, Head to Head Challenge, Talent and Beauty With a Purpose.
In which, winning Top Model region has guaranteed the Vietnamese representative a position in the Top 40 Miss World 2026. Bao Ngoc still has the opportunity to go further based on her achievements in the sub-competitions and the judges' assessment.
After more than two weeks of competition, the representative of Vietnam is entering the decisive stage of the competition. The Miss World 2026 Final is scheduled to take place on September 5 in Khanh Hoa - where the overall ranking and results of some important competitions will be announced.
