An explosion of elegance, charm, and international flair lit up Naples on the occasion of the European Final of Miss Europe Continental, the historic beauty pageant conceived and produced by Alberto Cerqua. The European Final took place on November 14 in the iconic setting of the Teatro Mediterraneo at the Mostra d’Oltremare. The Red Carpet, the beating heart of the evening, welcomed guests, media representatives, and leading figures from the entertainment world, turning into a glamorous runway of style and beauty.
Enchanting the audience above all were the contestants arriving from all over the world, ambassadors of a plural, contemporary, and borderless vision of beauty. Young women united by elegance, personality, and charisma, who were able to convey on stage and on the Red Carpet an ideal of international femininity, celebrated in the spirit of sharing and inclusivity.
The evening saw the triumph of Raquel Toledano, representing France, who claimed the title of winner of the European Final of Miss Europe Continental, winning over both the jury and the audience with her stage presence, poise, and refinement.
Before the show began, the red carpet hosted numerous well-known faces from Italian television, fashion, and the business world.
On stage, the event was hosted with great elegance by Veronica Maya and Beppe Convertini, supported backstage by Antonella Salvucci and Antonio Zequila. Among the audience, the event was covered from a privileged perspective by influencer Tanya La Gatta and showgirl Maria Monsé.
Following the European Final, Miss Europe Continental continued its journey with six international editions, all held at the Teatro Sant’Aniello in Caserta and hosted by Antonella Salvucci.
The World Edition on November 21 crowned Melissa Torun from Germany.
The Global Edition on November 24 saw the victory of Yelyzaveta Panchenko from Ukraine; this was followed on November 27 by the International Edition, which awarded the title to Claudia Aleksandrova from Spain.
On November 30, the Planet Edition crowned Kelly Ketely from Brazil, while the Multinational Edition on December 3 saw the victory of Ruth Bekele Urgessa from Ethiopia.
Bringing the international cycle to a close was the Supranational Edition on December 6, which celebrated Yenny Pertuz from Colombia.
The winners were selected by a prestigious international jury composed of former Miss Europe Continental titleholders: Veronica Corrente (Italy), Sandra Fransson (Sweden), Marija Nikolova (Macedonia), Amy Abiké (Ghana), and Camila Santander (Chile) – the reigning winner of the previous International Edition.
From the Global Edition to the Supranational Edition, the jury remained the same as for the European and World editions, with the sole exception of the absence of Amy Abiké. The jury’s choices reflected the professionalism, authority, and continuity of the pageant conceived by Alberto Cerqua.
