Miss World 2026 International Beauty Pageant

Valeriia Lisovska will represent Ukraine at the international Miss World 2026 pageant in Vietnam. The 18-year-old Odesa native and student of International Economic Relations earned the right to represent her country after winning the national Miss Ukraine 2025 competition.

To showcase Ukrainian culture on the international stage, Valeriia chose an embroidered dress by POLONETS. The design is crafted from natural linen and adorned with classic red embroidery inspired by the traditions of the renowned Krolevets towel. The ornament combines geometric and stylized floral motifs, each carrying its own symbolic meaning.

The central motif of the composition is the Tree of Life — a symbol of the strong connection between generations and the continuity of life. Two birds placed beside it represent love, harmony, and the preservation of the family line.

This dress is a contemporary interpretation of Ukrainian cultural heritage — a look in which traditional symbolism, natural materials, and a modern designer silhouette come together to present Ukrainian culture to the world.
