Miss Grand All Stars 2026 changes at the last minute, Nawat hopes Huong Giang will compete.

To ensure a smooth visa application process for contestants and to avoid overlapping with the Lunar New Year holiday, Miss Grand International (MGI) has officially announced adjustments to the All Stars season schedule.

Recently, the Miss Grand International organizing committee announced to fans a change in the timing of the special "All Stars" season. This decision is seen as a cautious step to ensure maximum benefits for international representatives when they come to Thailand.

The visa problem and the obstacles posed by long holidays.

Initially, Miss Grand All Stars was scheduled to take place from January 25th to February 13th, 2026. However, this date coincides with the Lunar New Year holiday – one of the most important and longest holidays in many Asian countries.

BTC noted that the holiday closure of diplomatic missions would lead to delays in processing legal procedures and visa issuance. An MGI representative stated: "The event coinciding with the Lunar New Year holiday could cause delays in visa processing for participants. To ensure that all announced representatives can participate fully and smoothly, we have decided to adjust the timeline."

In addition, the organization also confirmed that previously confirmed candidates remain eligible to participate, and there are no changes to the list of applicants due to the rescheduling.

Despite being only in its initial stages, the All Stars season has already generated significant media attention. This marks the first time in history that MGI has organized a special edition for beauty queens who have competed in international beauty pageants but have yet to win the coveted crown.

The most groundbreaking innovation is that MGI has officially opened its doors to transgender beauty pageant contestants. This is considered a revolutionary step, affirming the message of diversity and unlimited beauty standards that Nawat Itsaragrisil – President of MGI – has always strived for.

Registration remains open.

Although the official start date has not yet been set, the Miss Grand International organizing committee confirms that registration is still open to find the most outstanding contestants. The new schedule is expected to be updated in the next few weeks after the organizing committee balances logistical and legal factors.

While postponing the schedule may cause some disappointment for fans, it is the best solution to ensure the most explosive, polished, and large-scale "All Stars" season ever.
