Nigeria’s representative at the 2026 Miss World pageant, Tamunosoye Karibi-George, has earned a place in the competition’s Top 40 after emerging as the winner of the Africa Top Model title in Vietnam.

Karibi-George secured the feat on Thursday during the Top Model competition held as part of the Vietnam Beauty Fashion Fest XVII, themed “Soul of Heritage.”

Her victory automatically guarantees her a spot in the Top 40 quarterfinals, where she will represent the African continent alongside contestants who qualify through other fast-track categories.

The Miss World Organisation announced Karibi-George as Africa’s continental Top Model winner, alongside winners from the Americas and Caribbean, Europe, and Asia and Oceania.
