The Miss Global Jamaica franchise hosted its first pageant on home soil last Saturday at the Douglas Orane Auditorium at Wolmer’s Boys’ School in a grand affair. Twenty-six-year-old Deidrian Downer emerged victorious, claiming the 2026 title and receiving the crown from last year’s representative, Keri-Ann Greenwood, first runner-up at Miss Global 2025. Attendees donned gowns and suits to enjoy the spectacular event. Something Extra has the social highlights.
