Introducing MWI Venezuela 2026

During the grand finale of Miss Venezuela IMVU 2025, Mariaeugenian Nogueira — proudly representing the vibrant state of Delta Amacuro — was crowned Miss World Venezuela IMVU 2026.

Hailing from the picturesque town of Tucupita, Mariaeugenian describes her home as a treasure of natural beauty, known for its stunning beaches and welcoming spirit. At 27 years old, she brings a refreshing sense of joy, spontaneity, and connection to the IMVU platform. “What makes me unique as a queen is my attitude of having fun and reflecting it by showing my joy and my free spirit in my interactions,” she shared. “I love sharing a little bit of our culture through my looks and speaking proudly of my country whenever I get the chance. I want people to feel that beautiful energy and know that, together with my companions — each in her own essence — we are fighting for our dreams.”

Beyond the glamour of the crown, Mariaeugenian is guided by a powerful and emerging mission: to raise awareness about mental health and emotional well-being, particularly in virtual spaces. Her purpose-driven initiative is still in its early stages, but the vision is clear. “My project is like a newborn baby — it's in diapers right now — but I’m focused on creating safe spaces where people can talk, share experiences, and support each other,” she explained. “Sometimes we forget that behind every avatar is a real person with their own struggles. I want us to remember we’re not alone.”

With warmth, wisdom, and a message rooted in empathy, Mariaeugenian hopes her legacy as Miss World Venezuela IMVU will go far beyond pageantry. “Whenever I’m asked about legacy, I think about how much I’d love for the world to see beyond the headlines and truly know Venezuela,” she said. “I want them to feel the warmth and resilience of our people, to appreciate the richness of our culture and the beauty of our landscapes. We have a huge heart and so many beautiful things to offer. I want them to see the real Venezuela — full of talented people with the will to succeed.”

Now crowned Miss World IMVU Venezuela 2026, Mariaeugenian will proudly represent her country on the world stage at the 11th Miss World IMVU Festival, scheduled for April 2026.
