Orealia E. Thomas, crowned Miss Universe British Virgin Islands 2026 in September, has arrived in Puerto Rico to represent the Territory at the 75th Miss Universe competition.
Thomas will compete against delegates from around the world at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan on November 24. She succeeds Olivia Margaret Freeman, who held the title last year.
Thomas was crowned at the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College. The Miss Universe British Virgin Islands organisation called on residents to support her through the national costume presentation, preliminary rounds and the final show.
"Queen Orealia, we are so proud of you and cheering you on every step of the way," the organisation said on Facebook, urging the Territory to "rally around her and fill the comments with love and well wishes as she takes the world stage."
Puerto Rico is hosting the Miss Universe pageant for the fourth time.
