Beauty With Purpose Takes Centre Stage at Dublin Multicultural Event

The first Miss & Mrs Cross Continent event in Dublin showed how a pageant can combine cultural diversity, leadership and practical community education. The Dublin 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. The Mayor of South Dublin praised the contestants for using their public platform to promote informed choices and stronger communities. Guests enjoyed performances representing Irish, Indian and Indonesian traditions throughout the afternoon. Niveditha Vudayagiri, a software engineer with a master’s degree in artificial intelligence, was crowned Miss Cross Continent 2026. Fortunate Lindokuhle Masina was named first runner-up, while Yuki Yuliatin became second runner-up. The gathering connected beauty and cultural pride with leadership, informed choices and community involvement.
