MGI All Stars 1st Edition


MGI All Stars 1st Edition will be the inaugural edition of the MGI All Stars pageant scheduled to be held on 30 May 2026, in Thailand.
MGI All Stars is a special international beauty pageant created by the Miss Grand International Organization, and will feature returning beauty queens from various national and international pageants, marking the debut of MGI's veteran-focused competition format.

Background

On December 4, 2025, the Miss Grand International Organization announced the launch of its inaugural "All Stars" edition.

Location and date

On December 7, 2025, Miss Grand International officially announced that Bangkok, Thailand will host the 1st MGI All Stars pageant. The event was originally scheduled to begin on 25 January, with contestants earning scores through various activities and challenges and the Grand Final was planned on 13 February in Thailand.
However, On 24 December 2025 the Miss Grand International Organization rescheduled the inaugural All Stars edition. The decision was made due to extension of New Year holiday period, which could cause visa processing delays for participants from several countries. Miss Grand International Organization also confirmed that all previously announced contestants will remain eligible.
On 10 January 2026 the Miss Grand International Organization officially announced the final schedule. The event will take place from 18 May to 30 May, with the Grand Final planned for 30 May 2026.

Crown and prizes

MGI confirmed that the winner of the first edition will receive the MGI All Stars crown, and a cash prize ranging from US$100,000 to US$1,000,000.

Format

Participation is open to former national or international pageant contestants. The pageant will follow a format similar to Miss Grand International, including preliminary competitions, swimsuit, evening gown, and speech-based segments.
These activities are designed to highlight contestants' "star quality". In addition, other contests such as travel assignments, photo shoots, and a fashion show will be held. The preliminary rounds will be held over two days. The first day of preliminaries will feature the swimsuit and evening gown segments, while the second day will include cocktail dress presentations and a "bare face" segment, introduced to emphasize natural beauty and confidence. The preliminary rounds will determine the Top 25, to be revealed during the Grand Final.
