Gabriela Botelho was Brazil's representative at the final of Miss World 2026, held on Saturday (5) in Nha Trang, Vietnam. The 25-year-old woman from Minas Gerais chose a blue crystal-embellished dress inspired by Minas Gerais baroque for the decisive stage of the pageant. The piece featured an open back and a cape in the same tone.
Gabriela began her trajectory in beauty pageants as a child, at 4 years of age. She holds degrees in Administration and Fashion Design. Before winning the national title that took her to Miss World, she already had experience in pageants, having represented Espírito Santo at Miss Brasil Mundo in 2021, where she finished in third place and stood out in the Beauty with a Purpose stage, focused on social projects.
The Brazilian representative reached the final among 111 candidates from various countries. In addition to her work in beauty pageants, Gabriela maintains a trajectory linked to volunteering. For five years, she participated in social actions, demonstrating her commitment to charitable causes throughout her career.
