Trinidad and Tobago’s Meguella Simon has added another international appearance to her growing list of achievements, representing the country at the 49th Mrs Universe Pageant in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n
Simon, a calypsonian, educator and community advocate, took part in the international competition, which attracted approximately 120 delegates from countries around the world.<\/p>\n
The grand finale was held on Saturday, October 24, 2026, in Colombo, where Isidora Rankovi\u0107 of Monaco was crowned Mrs Universe 2026.<\/p>\n
While Simon’s participation has been confirmed, her final placement or any special awards received during the competition have not yet been independently verified.<\/p>\n
Her appearance follows an impressive performance at the 2025 Mrs Woman of the Universe competition in South Korea, where she secured second runner-up, bringing international recognition to Trinidad and Tobago.<\/p>\n
Beyond the pageant stage, Simon has established herself in several fields. She is a calypsonian, actress, pannist and educator who holds two master’s degrees in education and Carnival studies.<\/p>\n
She is also a former president of the Lions Club of San Fernando, reflecting her involvement in community development and service.<\/p>\n
Her artistic accomplishments include winning the Marabella Community Calypso Monarch competition in 2020 with her social commentary, “Speak Life”.<\/p>\n
The Mrs Universe competition celebrates more than physical appearance, highlighting women’s achievements, leadership, cultural representation and social involvement.<\/p>\n
This year’s programme in Sri Lanka included cultural exchanges, national costume presentations and discussions surrounding important social issues, including domestic violence.<\/p>\n
Simon was joined at the event by Ria Mohammed, who represented the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
For Simon, the Sri Lanka appearance marks another significant chapter in a journey that has taken her from the classrooms and calypso stages of Trinidad and Tobago to international pageantry.<\/p>\n
Her participation again places Trinidad and Tobago among the countries represented on one of the international platforms celebrating women’s accomplishments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
