IS NICOLE NOW ONE OF THE FAVOURITES FOR THE MISS SUPRANATIONAL CROWN?

HAS beauty queen Nicole Nyawera thrust herself among the hottest favourites for the Miss Supranational 2026 crown in Poland on Saturday? She has a reason to believe she has done just that after winning the Miss Supranational 2026 Facebook Influencer regional award. The Mutare-born registered nurse and certified paramedic has been enjoying a dream run since arriving in Poland, where she is flying the Zimbabwean flag against more than 60 of the world’s most beautiful women.

Her latest victory came after fans across the globe voted in huge numbers, making Nicole one of the five regional winners of the prestigious Facebook Influencer Challenge. The achievement has instantly boosted Zimbabwe’s hopes of securing its first-ever Miss Supranational crown. Nicole is currently in boot camp with contestants from across the globe in Nowy Sącz, Poland, where delegates have spent the past two weeks taking part in interviews, rehearsals, cultural tours, fashion presentations, charity visits and several fast-track competitions designed to test confidence, leadership and personality as much as beauty.

The countdown is now on for the Miss Supranational 2026 Grand Finale, which takes place this Saturday at the picturesque Strzelecki Park Amphitheatre in Nowy Sącz, where reigning queen Eduarda Braum of Brazil will crown her successor. Before the final crowning moment, contestants will complete final rehearsals, stage presentations and judges’ interviews before the field is cut to the Top 24, Top 12 and eventually the Top Five. Back home, Zimbabweans have erupted with excitement following Nicole’s latest achievement.

“Nicole is not just beautiful; she’s intelligent, humble and proudly Zimbabwean. We believe she can bring the crown home.” Beauty pageant analysts say Nicole’s chances are bright. Besides her elegance on stage, she has impressed many with her confidence, communication skills and inspiring personal story.
