Former flight stewardess Datin Kelvin Dhillon secured two titles – the Mrs Queen of Earth 2026 and Elite Mrs Earth Air 2026, while practising lawyer Kasthuri Muniandy was crowned Queen of Earth 2026.
Also adding glory to the Malaysian contingent were Jessica Arasu, a beautician and model who won the Top Model Earth Water 2026 title and Mertinih Ivy Joklis, a sales and marketing manager from Sabah representing Borneo, who captured the Mrs Earth Most Elegant Queen 2026 title.
Professional model Zhansaya Omirbayewa from Kazakhstan was awarded the title of Ms Queen of Earth 2026.
In her welcome address, Mrs/Ms Earth president Ammetta Malhotra said that the year held profound meaning as her inaugural year leading the environmental advocacy pageant.
“To be entrusted with the leadership of a pageant that has championed beauty, purpose, environmental responsibility and women’s empowerment for almost two decades is both an honour and responsibility I embrace wholeheartedly,” she said.
As the newly appointed international president, she said her vision is to strengthen Mrs/Ms Earth as a respected global platform where women are not merely crowned, but heard, supported, and empowered to leave a lasting legacy.
“As we gather in Kuala Lumpur for the 19th edition of Mrs/Ms Earth, we celebrate women who understand that true beauty is reflected in service, leadership, kindness and respect for our planet,” she added.
Mykhael Michael, the U.S.-based chief executive officer and founder of the Mrs/Ms Earth International Pageant, attended the 19th annual grand finale.
According to Michael, a veteran in the pageant and entertainment industry, the Mrs Earth pageant was envisioned nearly two decades ago to value married women and promote environmental conservation as a force for positive change.
“The true legacy of Mrs Earth is not measured in titles won, but in hearts touched, lives changed, and a planet loved,” he said.
The three core pillars of the international environmental women’s platform emphasize green advocacy by encouraging title holders to spend their reigning year managing dedicated climate change mitigation and nature conservation projects; inclusivity by providing competitive ategories for women aged 18 to 60, regardless of marital status; and hands-on ecological preservation by integrating compulsory community outreach elements like tree planting, directly into the official schedule.
The pageant week took place from July 21 to 26, filled with environmental advocacy and cultural activities, including official registration, sashing/crowning, and a welcome dinner hosted by president Ammetta Malhotra; intensive rehearsals, media presentations, advocacy interviews, public meet-and-greets, hands-on conservation and tree planting at Elmina Forest Park; and concluded with final dress rehearsals and the grand world finals.
The international delegates also visited Batu Caves to experience Malaysia’s sacred heritage Central Market to explore Malaysia’s rich culture, vibrant local handicrafts, authentic souvenirs, traditional art and local culinary delights.
Key partners and sponsors which contributed to the success of the event included The Art Figura (official trophy), Haniza Haniff from Hanjar Sdn Bhd (official T-shirt & tote bag), Farah Hair & Beauty, Natasha Handmade, Grit & Gold, UVeCare, Haba Restaurant, Pak Punjab Restaurant, M Plus, Abg Yus Studio, JMH Artz, Haniza Hanif, Neeks and Manpreet Bhullar Hmua.
