Dominic’s message frames the season as more than a celebration of beauty.

“The Miss Nigeria 2026 Season is upon us. And we have not come to merely look pretty. No, we are here for more,” she declared, emphasising influence, leadership, and transformation as core pillars of the pageant.

The Beauty and Fashion Fair will highlight the Daily Times Young Fashion Designer of the Year Award and showcase Nigerian women at the forefront of creativity, enterprise, and economic participation.

At the heart of the campaign is the theme “She’s Made of More,” which celebrates resilience, ambition, intellect, culture, vision, and impact.

Dominic explained that the 2026 season expands the conversation to a national level.

“Nigerians are Made of More. It is both an affirmation and a challenge,” she said, underscoring the importance of ownership, accountability, and action among young people.

The fair will also host panel discussions with fashion and beauty industry leaders, exploring questions around potential, contribution, and cultural innovation.

These discussions aim to spark meaningful dialogue beyond the stage, connecting the Miss Nigeria platform with wider societal issues.

Additionally, the season will include curated invite-only events bringing together stakeholders, industry leaders, and cultural influencers to foster collaboration, networking, and sustained impact.
