Gabriela Botelho is a 25-year-old Brazilian woman, native to Minas Gerais, who represents Brazil at Miss World 2026. With a trajectory linked to beauty pageants and social work, she began working in the market at the age of 4 and holds academic degrees in Administration and Fashion Design.
Her experience in beauty pageants began in 2021, when she represented Espírito Santo at Miss Brasil Mundo and finished in third place. That same year, she stood out in the Beauty with a Purpose segment, focused on social initiatives. In 2023, she returned to competition representing Sergipe and made it to the final seven.
In the following years, Gabriela continued her journey in pageants, returning to Sergipe in 2024 to compete for the title again. In 2026, she finally won the national title, defeating 24 other candidates at a ceremony held in Águas Claras, in the Federal District.
Gabriela Botelho's victory ended a 62-year drought for Sergipe, a state that had not had a Miss Brasil Mundo winner since 1964. With this, she secured the right to represent Brazil at Miss World 2026.
