Monaco is set to host the international final of Miss Unique of the World 2026 on 28 March at 18:00 at Le Méridien Beach Plaza, bringing together participants, creatives, media, and industry professionals for an event that rethinks the meaning of beauty through individuality, presence, and identity.

Among the key international names involved in this year’s edition is Kostiantyn Lieontiev, founder and producer of London Fashion Day, who will join the project’s international jury. His participation highlights the growing dialogue between fashion platforms, media, and global cultural initiatives that promote new voices and modern perspectives on representation, creativity, and self-expression.

This year, London Fashion Day is also named among the official partners of Miss Unique of the World 2026, reinforcing the platform’s ongoing commitment to supporting international creative exchange and projects that celebrate individuality beyond traditional industry frameworks.

Organised by Unikat Fashion Agentur and model agent Anna Shm., Miss Unique of the World 2026 presents a contemporary format that moves beyond the conventional structure of beauty pageants. Rather than focusing on appearance alone, the project places emphasis on charisma, emotional intelligence, personality, and the ability to communicate one’s identity with confidence and authenticity.

The final in Monaco will unite women from different countries, each representing not only her nation, but also her personal story, background, and worldview. In this format, beauty is approached not as conformity, but as presence and self-expression.

A distinctive aspect of the project is its digital global structure. Participants complete all stages of the competition remotely, making the initiative more inclusive and internationally accessible. The Monaco final therefore becomes the first physical meeting point for a community already shaped across borders.

The gala evening will include a runway presentation, individual creative performances, guest appearances, and the official award ceremony, followed by a private after-party designed to bring together participants, partners, creatives, and industry insiders in a setting that encourages conversation, networking, and future collaborations.

The international jury reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the project. Alongside Kostiantyn Lieontiev, the jury includes Raisa Arseni, Maxim Ezhov, Gulshat Fauché, Daniel Fauché, and Alexander Seleznev – professionals from fashion, beauty, sport, business, and media whose combined perspectives shape the project’s broader vision of modern beauty.

The partnership with London Fashion Day further underlines the event’s connection to the international fashion and media landscape. As a platform known for supporting emerging designers, fostering creative collaboration, and promoting global exchange, London Fashion Day’s involvement adds a strong fashion-industry dimension to this year’s final.

Supported by an international network of media and creative partners including Prominent Magazine, Fashion Frontier, Cool’baba Magazine, and FASHION TV, Miss Unique of the World 2026 positions itself as more than a competition. It is a platform built around personal branding, confidence, visibility, and authenticity – values that continue to shape the future of both fashion and contemporary beauty culture.

With Monaco as its backdrop and an international creative network behind it, Miss Unique of the World 2026 is set to become one of the season’s notable cross-industry events, uniting beauty, fashion, media, and identity in one global conversation.
