Margaryta Maskeliene also won two more prestigious titles: Mrs Universe Beauty and Mrs Universe Sport. «These are not just titles but three crowns, one for each title. Making it into the top 25 and a well-deserved place in the top five is the result of enormous effort, strength of spirit, beauty, and charisma,» the National School of Beauty emphasized.

The Belarusian lady noted that the success was the result of hard work over a year of preparation. «The impressions are incredible. We lived a separate little life. All the girls were beautiful, educated, and intelligent. I managed to find common ground with all the contestants. Every day had a tight schedule from early morning: the program began at six, and we had to get up at four or five to have time to get ourselves ready. I slept no more than an hour and a half a day,» Margarita recounted.

In her words, inner composure, spiritual harmony, and calm helped her keep her self-control. At the pageant she tried to remain herself: sincere, open, and friendly.

The final of the international pageant consisted of two stages: the contestants presented national costumes and then evening gowns. For the national costume appearance Margaryta Maskeliene had a white natural silk costume made with burgundy embroidery and an imitation of the Slutsk sash. The evening attire in a red-and-gold palette was created from the contestant’s own sketches. The dress was embellished with thousands of rhinestones and complemented with massive jewelry and a crown. It weighs about 15kg.

«The final was simply majestic. Everyone noted the incredible refinement of my evening gown: it made a great impression on the jury, the audience, and the contestants themselves. I changed my daily look with accessories two or three times a day. My preparation was acknowledged and duly appreciated,» Margaryta Maskeliene added.

The prestigious beauty pageant took place in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and brought together more than 120 contestants from all over the world. The winner of Mrs Universe 2026 was Isidora Ranković, a representative of Monaco.
