Katrina Llegado is officially Miss Supranational 2026. The Pinay beauty beat out 66 other contestants for the crown that formerly belonged to last year’s winner, Eduarda Braum of Brazil. She’s become the second Filipina to clinch the title after Mutya Datul in 2013.
In the final Q&A portion of the pageant, which was held at Nowy Sacz, Poland, Katrina was asked about the moment she stopped trying to become the woman the world expected and started becoming the woman she was meant to be.
She gracefully answered: “I always believe that we should never fit into a mold. We are perfectly imperfect. I am someone who struggles with perfection, but I am here today doing my best, and becoming my best version. And here in Miss Supranational, I know I belong. I know a place for me, and this is becoming Supra, above and beyond.”
