PH's Eunice Deza finishes 2nd runner-up in Top Model of the World 2026
Philippine representative Eunice Deza was named second runner-up at the Top Model of the World 2026 pageant held in Egypt.
Colombia’s Katherine Castano won the title, while Puerto Rico’s Angelis Sanchez finished as first runner-up.
In her final look, Eunice embodied a high-fashion form-fitting gown with sheer cutouts, iridescent sea-inspired detailing, and metallic wrist cuffs, while her sleek pulled-back hair and bronzed pageant makeup completed the ethereal ensemble.
Ahead of the coronation night, Eunice took to social media to dedicate a message for “little Eunice.”
“You would never believed me, I will be standing on the global stage tonight,” she said.
She also described the finale as the result of “endless sleepless nights, tears, and unwavering dedication.”
“As I step onto the Top Model of the World 2026 finale stage, I carry all of your love, our heritage, and our entire country with me,” Eunice wrote.
The Filipina beauty queen said she was overwhelmed by how far her journey had taken her and expressed pride in representing the Philippines on the global stage.
“Nothing compares to the pride of wearing my country’s name across my heart,” she said.
The 32nd edition of the pageant was held in the resort destination of Sahl Hasheesh.
In 2024, Eunice joined Miss Universe Philippines, representing San Pablo City.
