Miss World 2026: Asia Rose Simpson named Beauty with a Purpose finalist in Asia and Oceania
Asia Rose Simpson is among the six Beauty with a Purpose finalists in Asia and Oceania at Miss World 2026.
Beauty with a Purpose is the part of the pageant where the contestants make their advocacy known. Asia focuses on how sports and dance promote self-expression and connection for the youth.
The Filipino-American beauty queen is giving her A-game in the Miss World competition. She previously secured a Top 40 spot after winning the Asia & Oceania Head-to-Head Challenge, where she highlighted the importance of sports and dance.
She also made it to the Top 3 in the pageant's talent competition.
Asia is vying for the Philippines' second Miss World crown after Megan Young's win in 2013.
Earlier, she ranked no. 2 in Missosology's first Miss World 2026 Hot Picks, with Brazil's Gabriela Botelho taking the top spot.
The coronation night will be held on September 5 in Vietnam, where Opal Suchata Chuangsri of Thailand will pass her crown to the next queen.
