Miss Grand Vietnam 2026 Emoura Pham, 'Hybrid Rose' with Vietnamese-British Heritage

Miss Grand Vietnam 2026 Emoura Pham, 26, has captivated audiences with her balanced physique and radiant smile, earning her the affectionate nickname "Hybrid Rose" from fans due to her Vietnamese-British heritage. Pham was crowned the winner on the evening of July 31 in Ho Chi Minh City, receiving significant support from the audience. Her full Vietnamese name is Pham Chan Phuong. Her mother is Vietnamese, and her father is British. Standing at 1.7 meters tall with measurements of 80-60-92 cm, Pham impresses with her sharp facial features, deep-set eyes, and a high nose bridge. Judges and fans alike have praised her modern beauty and the "fresh breeze" she brings to the competition. Her well-proportioned figure and bright smile scored points from the early stages of the competition. In early July, during the Top 30 reveal event, Pham impressed with her catwalk, showcasing a see-through outfit and natural hairstyle that added flair to her fashion photoshoot. During the semi-finals on July 28, she competed in evening gown and swimsuit segments, maintaining a consistent performance that led many to predict her advancement. Her stage experience, gained from over a year of participation in fashion events, contributed to her confident presence. At the Vietnam Beauty Fashion Fest (VBFF) 15th season, Pham was chosen to open the show, a reward for the contestant with the highest audience votes. Her performance skills and stage aura helped her secure a spot in the top 6 selected by the judges. In the Talent segment, she performed "Heal the World" by playing the piano and singing with a choir of 20 people, earning her a place in the top 10. She also showcased a variety of styles in side events. Pham spent her early childhood in Vietnam before moving to the US at 15 to attend high school. She later pursued an Associate in Arts degree at Irvine Valley College in California. This environment naturally honed her communication skills, leading to high scores in interviews and Q&A sessions. When asked in the Top 5 question, "If you had the opportunity to introduce Ho Chi Minh City to international friends, what would you say?" Pham replied that the city's charm lies in its vibrant energy, blended with the peace and friendliness of its people. "Ho Chi Minh City always welcomes visitors with smiles and memorable experiences," she said. Despite living and studying abroad for many years, Pham states her heart always turns towards her homeland. In her introduction video, she shared, "For me, patriotism is not determined by one's nationality or the language they use. What gives meaning to that love is the active effort to preserve traditional cultural values and always look towards the roots – where one was born." Since returning to Vietnam nearly two years ago, Pham has been improving her Vietnamese by communicating and listening to music. She enjoys street walks and beach trips, favoring youthful fashion styles. She maintains her skin and figure through a scientific diet and regular exercise. Emoura Pham has two months to hone her skills before competing in Miss Grand International 2026, scheduled for October in India.
