The annual beauty pageant, Miss Hong Kong Pageant Final 2026, was held last night at Tseung Kwan O TV City. This year, the Hong Kong theme was "dare to be perfect". After rounds of competitions between 12 candidates, favorite Bernice Yuen firmly sat on the throne. Her eloquent performance even won her thumbs up from Crystal Fung Ying Ying and Rachel Chan Yee Tak in the audience. Successfully losing 13 pounds, Ada Tang with a great showing was the surprise second runner-up, and the third runner-up Scarlett Li received double titles as she also won "Miss Photogenic".

This year's group of hosts comprised of "Three Brothers: Kenneth Ma Kwok Ming, Edwin Siu Ching Nam, Raymond Cho Wing Lim, with Luk Ho Ming and Leonard Cheng Hin Fung. This was the first time in the 26 years since Ma Kwok Ming entered the industry to take on the role of a large-scale live program. He and Cho Wing Lim hosted Miss Hong Kong for the first time, so they inevitably appeared rusty. Later the three talked about "qualifications", Siu Ching Nam said that he already had experience, because as early as 2023 he had presided over the pageant with three television Best Actors Joel Chan Shan Chung, Moses Chan Ho and Ruco Chan Chin Pang. Ma Kwok Ming recalled that in his early days in the business he accompanied Sonija Kwok Sin Nei at the "1999 Miss Hong Kong Pageant"; Cho Wing Lim also served as the host of the 2018 Miss Hong Kong swimsuit segment. Since Ma Kwok Ming appeared on the Miss Hong Kong stage earlier than the two, Siu Ching Nam and Cho Wing Lim called him "elder brother" out of respect. The three even joked that to be able to host Miss Hong Kong together, they were truly "fortunate for three actors."

The performers were just as star studded, including singers Gin Lee Hung Ngai, Mike Tsang Pei Tat, Vic Teo, Edmond Leung Hon Man, and the new girl group "MYNT". Last night Gin Lee opened the show with a performance of "Iconic" and "Dum Dum". 12 candidates appeared and introduced themselves with the topic "My Bravest Moment." Then Tsang Pei Tat performed the classic songs "Flower Field Mistake" and "In Search of Deities", as candidates immediately appeared in an elegant and gorgeous evening dress that showed a unique oriental beauty. The main performance of the evening was the cross-platform collaboration between Leung Hon Man and Celina Harto (Chan Ching Yi), Zoie Tse Shuk Yi and Rosita Kwok Pak Yin. Three female artists each showed their talents: Chan Ching Yi played the harp live, Tse Shuk Yi performed an elegant piano piece with Leung Hon Man, and known as "Demon Tone Chin Chin", Kwok Pak Yin even sang two verses and played a little clarinet to pass the test.

Twelve candidates accepted the pageant's "one word" challenge, and many candidate showed their quick wit. Among them 1 Bernice Yuen who received the word "wrong" performed the most prominently. She replied, "I feel I got the word wrong to tell me not to wrongly miss any opportunity tonight, not to be wrongly miss the opportunity to face the camera. In addition the word could be divided into two parts, the gold part symbolizes the most golden time of my life is now; the past part reminds me not to look back at the past and to go forward." 10 Cecilia Chan's eloquence also received a lot of praise. When the pageant gave the word "loss", Cecilia Chan responded very quickly and said, "When I returned to the TV city today, take a guess who I ran into. I ran into Pretty Tong (Ma Kwok Ming's wife Roxanne Tong). She told me to lose a little more during the question and answer segment, so Ma Kwok Ming would show his Tennen Boke expression. Everyone would really like that." Ma Kwok Ming immediately cooperated with his airhead expression, and the whole venue burst into laughter.

When 2 Scarlett Li received the word "short" surprisingly seemed to take a jab at the small stature of last year's Miss Hong Kong Stacey Chan. She said, "I think the event dedicated this word "short" to me because many of the past winners are relatively small, just like the previous champion Miss Stacey; so tonight I have a chance to win the title!" She even confidently dubbed herself the favorite. 11 Caris Yan drew the word "flat". As the most educated candidate, she played with idioms and said that she was like blue and white porcelain, a high- quality product that improved with time. She also described her dream encounter with candidates with "chanced encounter like a dream", and her eloquence has won a lot of applause.

In the "Talent Performance" session, candidates performed mainly dances, including candidate 1 Bernice Yuen's Jazz Funk performance, 2 Scarlett Li's Latin dance, 3 Chorie Li's Pop Jazz, 7 Vera Yang's Chinese dance plus calligraphy, 8 Ada Tang's fan dance, 9 Gracia Zhou's umbrella dance, 10 Cecilia Chan's water-sleeved dance and Guzheng performance, and 11 Agnes Yan's ballet. More eye-catching was 5 Etherine Wei, who not only wore a revealing costume to perform snake dance but also performed a split. 12 Caris Tang was more innovative as she performed sign language. Announcing that she would DJ in advance, 6 Jasmine Lo's performance had no surprise.

Subsequently, the candidates changed into swimwear, with elegant and expensive fur coats and snow boots. They put on sunglasses, appeared with the mascot "Snow Monster", and carried out a one-on-one duels. Finally, candidate 1 Bernice Yuen, 2 Scarlett Li, 6 Jasmine Lo and 8 Ada Tang successfully reached to the top four.

the end the 26-year-old candidate 1 Bernice Yuen led from the beginning to the end and took the title, candidate Ada Tang 8 was the surprise first runner-up, candidate 2 Scarlett Li took the second runner-up and "Miss Photogenic." As for the most popular candidate 6 Jasmine Lo went "empty handed". Miss Hong Kong Berenice Yuen is the currently 26 years old graduate of the Department of Communication at the Baptist University, and her career is an actor. She performed a powerful jazz Funk dance for her talent portion, showed her wild charm and successfully added to her score.
