- Katrina Llegado of the Philippines won the Miss Supranational 2026 title in Poland, becoming the country's second winner of the international beauty pageant after Mutya Datul.
Katrina Llegado was crowned Miss Supranational 2026 during the pageant's coronation night held Friday in Nowy Sącz, Poland.
The victory makes Llegado the second Filipina to win the international title after Mutya Datul, who claimed the crown in 2013.
Llegado bested 66 other contestants from around the world and succeeded Brazil's Eduarda Braum as the new Miss Supranational.
During the final question-and-answer round, contestants were asked when they stopped trying to become the woman the world expected them to be and instead chose to become their authentic selves.
"I always believe that we should never fit into a mold. We are perfectly imperfect. I am someone who struggles with perfection, but I am here today doing my best, and becoming my best version. And here in Miss Supranational, I know I belong. I know a place for me, and this is becoming Supra, above and beyond," Llegado said.
Llegado is no stranger to international pageantry. She represented the Philippines at Reina Hispanoamericana 2019 in Bolivia, where she finished as fifth runner-up.
She earned the right to compete in Miss Supranational after finishing as a finalist in Miss Universe Philippines 2025, a competition won by Ahtisa Manalo. Before leaving for Poland, she relinquished her national title to Allyson Hetland in May. Hetland later advanced to the Top 7 of Miss Universe Philippines 2026.
France's Eve Gilles finished as first runner-up, while Brazil's Lara Marina was named second runner-up. Nigeria's Ndah Eno placed third runner-up, and Karolina Gorylova of the Czech Republic completed the Top 5 as fourth runner-up.
