Beauty, culture and community education came together in Dublin during the first Miss & Mrs Cross Continent pageant.
The event welcomed 24 contestants representing seven nations and attracted around 450 guests to the Church of Scientology & Community Centre of Dublin.
Organised by Miss & Mrs Cross Continent Events Ltd. and sponsored by Broccoli Care Ltd., the programme was developed in collaboration with The Truth About Drugs Ireland.
Drug education formed an important part of the event, with guided exhibition tours introducing visitors to information about commonly used drugs. Some participants completed all fourteen news euros educational modules, demonstrating that their preparation went beyond the traditional pageant format.
Mayor of South Dublin Cllr. Francis Timmons addressed the audience and highlighted the value of cultural diversity, education and prevention.
Cultural performances added to the programme, including Irish dance, Indian classical dance and traditional Indonesian presentations.
At the end of the competition, Niveditha Vudayagiri was named Miss Cross Continent 2026. The other leading awards went to Fortunate Lindokuhle Masina and Yuki Yuliatin.
The gathering connected beauty and cultural pride with leadership, informed choices and community involvement. More information is available in the full report on the Miss & Mrs Cross Continent event in Dublin.
