The Miss Supranational competition is one of the most prestigious pageants in the world, celebrating beauty, intelligence, and women with a purpose. This year, Miss Brazil Eduarda Braum stands out as one of the top contenders for the crown. She’s got charisma, dedication and impressive track record that makes her as one of the front runners.
Eduarda Braum’s striking features, confidence, and elegance make her a standout on any stage. But beyond her physical beauty, Eduarda is deeply committed to meaningful causes, particularly on education and mental health awareness. As a student pursuing a degree in Pedagogy and Literature, she uses her platform to advocate for mental well-being as well as providing education for the underprivileged —a mission that aligns perfectly with Miss Supranational’s emphasis on impactful advocacy.
Eduarda is no stranger to pageantry. She was a finalist at Miss Universe Brazil 2021 pageant. Her stage presence, eloquence, and ability to connect with audiences make her a formidable competitor.
Miss Curaçao Quishantely Leito, meanwhile, embodies the perfect balance of elegance, charisma, and purpose — qualities that make her a strong contender for the crown. With her radiant presence, confident stage performance, and deep-rooted commitment to uplifting her community, Quishantely represents not just beauty, but substance. She is the perfect symbol of a contestant from a small and relatively obscure country that can take on the giants and the beauty superpowers.
Another candidate to watch is Miss Philippines Tarah Valencia. Some critics claim that her height is a disadvantage but Tarah managed to upstage the taller competition. She just aced the catwalk and her confidence is rock solid. Her affable character and genuine personality will ensure she will have a good shot at the crown.
Miss USA Marvelous Sanyaolu is also one of the frontrunners wherein she managed to blend intelligence, grace, and purpose into an unstoppable package. As an advocate for education and women’s rights, she embodies the competition’s values of leadership and social impact. Her commanding presence, eloquence, and poise make her a standout in interviews and on stage!
While Iceland isn’t a powerhouse in Big5 Pageants (save for Miss World perhaps), Lilja Sif Pétursdóttir has made a stunning impression at Miss Supranational 2025. She may be ranked 5th in this Hot Picks but she has the pontential to surprise. She’s got elegance, an ethereal blonde beauty with piercing blue eyes.
