Mística Núñez Fails to Reach the Top 40 at Miss World 2026

Mística Núñez did not advance to the top 40 at Miss World 2026, despite what the article describes as a strong showing during the candidates' activities in Vietnam.

The Venezuelan contestant, a pharmacist and medical student, also missed selection as one of the 10 candidates chosen from the Americas and Caribbean group. Her performances included modeling and cooking challenges, as well as the pageant's main "head-to-head" challenge, where she presented a social-impact project that ranked among the five most important projects from the continent.

During the various challenges of the global competition, the Venezuelan representative displayed her commitment, charisma and comprehensive preparation.

That record was not enough to take her further in the competition. Núñez also wore a national costume inspired by Josefa Camejo, designed by Carlos Pérez and featuring elaborate details.

After the pageant, the Miss Venezuela Organization thanked Núñez for her work. It said she had shown commitment, charisma and comprehensive preparation throughout the various challenges. In a separate message, the organization said her beauty, talent and determination reflected what Venezuelan women represent, and thanked her for carrying the country's flag with composure.

Her beauty, talent and determination reflect everything that Venezuelan women represent. Thank you for carrying our flag with such poise and giving your all in every appearance.
