MGI All Stars 2nd Edition will be the 2nd edition of the MGI All Stars pageant, to be held on 12 December 2026, organized by the Miss Grand International Organization. The pageant will feature former contestants from international beauty pageants, with applications officially opening in June 2026.
Vanessa Pulgarin of Colombia, winner of the inaugural edition, is expected to return to defend her title. The competition is also expected to feature changes to part of the judging panel from the previous season.
Background Announcement and development Following the conclusion of MGI All Stars 1st Edition, the Miss Grand International Organization announced a second season of the competition in response to strong audience demand and positive reception toward the inaugural edition. The first season attracted attention for its open eligibility format, which allowed former contestants from international beauty pageants, including married women, mothers, and transgender women, to participate.
Applications for the second season officially opened on 6 June 2026, less than a week after the conclusion of the inaugural edition. The winner of the first season, Vanessa Pulgarin of Colombia, is expected to return in an attempt to defend her title, in accordance with the competition's format permitting reigning titleholders to compete in subsequent editions. Media reports also indicated that approximately half of the judging panel from the inaugural season may be replaced, although the organization has yet to officially announce the complete panel.
Date and venue
The final competition of MGI All Stars 2nd Edition is preliminarily scheduled to be held on 12 December 2026. As of June 2026, the Miss Grand International Organization has not officially announced further details regarding the venue, host city, or competition schedule.
Selection of contestants
Applications for MGI All Stars 2nd Edition officially opened on 6 June 2026. The competition is open to women and transgender women aged between 20 and 40 who have previously participated in any international beauty pageant. Eligibility is not restricted by marital status or motherhood, and participating countries may field multiple contestants.
In the Philippines, the newly established Reina Filipinas pageant was unveiled as the official selection platform for the second edition of MGI All Stars. According to the organizers, the competition would select two delegates who had previously competed in international pageants to represent the Philippines at the event, in addition to one representative for Miss Grand International 2026. Meanwhile, at the Miss Grand Dominican Republic 2026, Miss Grand Vietnam 2026, and other 2026 Miss Grand national pageants, a runner-up with prior international pageant experience was likewise designated as that country's representative to this edition of MGI All Stars.
Prize structure
The prize structure for this edition is expected to remain unchanged from the inaugural edition. The winner is set to receive a cash prize of US$100,000, to be distributed in installments under the competition's existing payment structure. The first and second runners-up will also receive cash prizes, although the organization has not publicly disclosed the amounts.
Under the MGI All Stars prize system introduced during the inaugural season, reigning winners are eligible to compete in subsequent editions. A contestant who wins the title for three consecutive editions is eligible to receive an additional bonus prize of US$1 million.
Pageant Selection committee The selection committee for this edition is expected to undergo significant changes, with approximately half of the judging panel from the inaugural season reportedly being replaced.
