The AC Hotel Kingston ballroom provided the backdrop for the Miss Universe Jamaica 2026 coronation on Sunday night. A total of 35 delegates from across the island competed for the coveted national title, which ultimately went to Portland’s Celine Hall. The 25-year-old will represent Jamaica at the 75th anniversary of the Miss Universe competition in Puerto Rico later this year. Beyond the crowning, past contestants, relatives, friends and specially invited guests turned out to support the women while taking in the spectacle. Something Extra spotlights some of the social moments from the audience.
