Joheirry Mola Crowned Miss World 2026, Becomes Second Dominican Woman to Win Title
By Drafted Team
Joheirry Mola has been crowned Miss World 2026 in Vietnam, becoming only the second Dominican woman ever to win the title. Beyond the crown, Mola is an educator, community advocate, and founder of an initiative dedicated to expanding English-language education for children in vulnerable communities.
For only the second time in history, a Dominican woman has been crowned Miss World. Joheirry Mola claimed the title at the 2026 competition held in Vietnam, marking a landmark moment for her country and for the communities she has long championed.
Mola's win carries weight beyond the pageant stage. An educator and community advocate, she founded Voices of Tomorrow DR, an initiative focused on giving children and young people in vulnerable communities access to English-language education — a cause that has defined her public life and, now, her platform on a world stage.
The milestone drew an outpouring of celebration, with many calling her victory a source of immense national pride. For those who have followed her advocacy work, the crown feels like a recognition of something that was already clear: Mola has been showing up for her community long before the spotlight found her.
