Beauty, culture and community education came together in Dublin during the first Miss & Mrs Cross Continent pageant.
The event welcomed 24 contestants representing seven nations and attracted around 450 guests to the Church of Scientology & Community Centre of Dublin.
Organised by Miss & Mrs Cross Continent Events Ltd. and sponsored by Broccoli Care Ltd., the programme was developed in collaboration with The Truth About Drugs Ireland.
Drug education formed an important part of the event, with guided exhibition tours introducing visitors to information about commonly used drugs. Several contestants completed online drug-education courses before the event, with some finishing all fourteen modules.
Cllr. Francis Timmons, Mayor of South Dublin, spoke during the programme about the importance of bringing communities together through news eu commission education.
The afternoon also included Irish, Indian and Indonesian dance performances, reflecting the international character of the gathering.
At the end of the competition, Niveditha Vudayagiri was named Miss Cross Continent 2026. Fortunate Lindokuhle Masina and Yuki Yuliatin completed the top three as first and second runners-up.
The gathering connected beauty and cultural pride with leadership, informed choices and community involvement. More information is available in the full report on the Miss & Mrs Cross Continent event in Dublin.
