According to Emoura Pham, the competition schedule is demanding, often requiring her to change outfits four times a day to suit different venues and event types. Each morning, she wakes up at 6 a.m. to prepare her wardrobe and do her own makeup.

Emoura Pham is a standout contestant at the ongoing Miss Grand International competition in Thailand, attracting significant media attention. Beauty forums and content creators across Thailand and Asia frequently share her images and short interview videos. Emoura Pham consistently tops lists of best-dressed contestants compiled by various international beauty pages.

On 22/9, the beauty queen captured attention upon her arrival at the hotel lobby in a rose-inspired gown by designer Brian Vo.

On the same day, 21/9, Emoura Pham changed into a monochrome halter-neck outfit. Stylist Nhan Truong accompanied her to select appropriate attire for various activities.

Emoura Pham was ranked top 1 for impressive attire by Sash Factor and Queenology on 20/9. She posed in a strapless design with golden accents at the hip.

The beauty wore a design featuring a crisscross bodice, a large cut-out at the waist, and silver embellishments. The skirt flared gently at the hem, with two long fabric strips trailing behind to create a sweeping train.

A backless silk gown helped Emoura Pham stand out among dozens of contestants. She paired it with matching gloves, a high bun, and makeup that emphasized her eyes and bold eyebrows.

On 20/9, Emoura Pham won a voting round, becoming one of 10 contestants to dine with Nawat, the president of Miss Grand International, and Miss Grand International 2025 Emma Tiglao. She selected a mermaid-style gown by designer Vo Thanh Can. A lace overlay on the bodice, combined with long fabric strips flowing from the sleeves, added softness to her overall look.

During a contestant welcoming activity, she posed in an asymmetrical top paired with a long, high-slit skirt. Emoura Pham accessorized with multiple pieces, including earrings and bracelets.

Emoura Pham, whose real name is Turner Katherine Margaret and Vietnamese name is Pham Chan Phuong, was born in Thailand but moved to Vietnam at a young age after her parents' divorce. At 15 years old, she moved to the United States for high school, later pursuing an Associate in Arts degree at Irvine Valley College (California). She stands 1.7 meters tall, with measurements of 80-58-92 cm, and is often called "bong hong lai" (mixed-race rose) by her fans.

The beauty queen wore an asymmetrical, form-fitting dress on a nude fabric base at the sash ceremony on 19/9. Golden embellishments ran diagonally across the dress, creating a sparkling effect. She styled her hair in a ponytail, wore red lipstick, and metal earrings.

Emoura Pham's outfit choices were ranked first for prominence by several beauty pages, including Missology Pageants, Aura Beauty, Beauty Pageants RD, and Mexicana Excellence.

Miss Grand International (MGI), established in 2013 by Thai national Nawat Itsaragrisil, aims to spread a message of peace, calling for an end to war and violence. The competition is held annually, rotating among various countries. Miss Grand has taken place twice in Vietnam, in 2017 (An Giang) and 2023 (TP HCM).

Over its 12 editions, the competition has attracted a large number of contestants from around the world. The new season was initially announced to take place in India, but in early September, Mr. Nawat decided not to host the competition there due to unresolved agreement conditions with the host organization. He then decided to bring Miss Grand International 2026 back to Thailand, with approximately 80 contestants participating. Miss Grand International 2025 Emma Tiglao, from the Philippines, will crown the new beauty queen at the final on 10/10.
