Special edition of Miss Grand International featuring returning beauty queens
MGI All Stars is a special edition of the international beauty pageant Miss Grand International (MGI). The edition was publicly announced in December 2025 and is designed to bring back former beauty queens either from MGI or other national and international pageants to compete again in a renewed, veteran-focused competition.[1][2]
History
Miss Grand International is a global beauty pageant founded in 2013. The organization promotes its four dimensional judging framework Beauty, Body, Brain, and Business and the advocacy campaign “Stop the War and Violence.”[3]
MGI All Stars was introduced as an additional competition separate from the annual Miss Grand International edition. The announcement emphasized inclusivity, inviting “beauty queens from any pageant,” not solely previous MGI contestants.[1] The competition is open to women and transgender women between 20 and 40 years old, whether single, married, or mothers, as long as they have joined an international pageant whether they have secured a title before.[4]

Background
The All Stars edition was announced on December 4, 2025. According to MGI, the competition aims to “open the door to queens worldwide,” allowing former competitors the opportunity to return, reinvent themselves, and compete once more under the MGI platform.[2][6] Media outlets across Asia reported strong fan reception and widespread speculation about possible returnees.[7] The Miss Grand International organization announced that the winner will receive the All Stars Crown along with a cash prize ranging from 100,000 to 1,000,000 USD.[5]
Reception
The announcement received significant attention in pageant communities worldwide, with fans expressing excitement over potential returns of popular former contestants. Some commentators praised the format for empowering veteran queens, while others questioned how it might affect opportunities for new candidates.[2]
Purpose and significance
The All Stars edition serves several goals:
- Celebration of experience – returning queens are recognized for their growth and maturity gained after prior competitions.
- Industry innovation – the format reflects entertainment trends favoring legacy competitions.
- Higher audience engagement – speculation and returning fan-favorite queens generate increased interest.
- Second-chance opportunity – contestants who previously underperformed or withdrew can compete again.
Format
As of its announcement, participation is open to former queens from any national or international pageant.[1] MGI has not yet published complete eligibility rules, judging criteria, or the official competition format.[8] It remains unconfirmed whether the winner of MGI All Stars will integrate into the main Miss Grand International cycle.
