Jen Zhou to Represent Hong Kong in Puerto Rico at the 75th Miss Universe World Final
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 October 2026 – The Miss Universe Hong Kong 2026 final, title-sponsored by Zetrix, concluded successfully on 18 September at the Ritz Carlton Hotel ballroom in Hong Kong. Fifteen finalists competed across talent, catwalk, and swimsuit segments, with contestant No. 1, Jen Zhou, emerging as the winner - taking home both the Miss Universe Hong Kong 2026 title and the Most Favourite Contestant Award. She will now represent Hong Kong at the 75th Miss Universe World Final in Puerto Rico (US).
The Hong Kong final was organised by the Miss Universe Hong Kong Organisation, with stage design, competition format, and judging panel all reflecting the high standards of an international pageant. The ballroom was filled with energy as audiences witnessed a standout moment for Hong Kong's pageant stage.
As Miss Universe Hong Kong 2026, Jen Zhou will travel to Puerto Rico to compete at the 75th Miss Universe World Final on 24 November 2026 at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan. Delegates from over 120 countries and regions will compete on the same stage, with major television networks broadcasting the event live worldwide — an event widely regarded as the "Olympics of beauty pageants."
The Winner: Jen Zhou — From Finance to the Stage, A Path That Was Never a Straight Line
Jen Zhou (@jen.zhou), 27, holds a master's degree and works as a TV features host on Hong Kong's English Channel, a social media content creator (KOL), and a model. She attended Hong Kong International School (HKIS) and acted in television dramas. Upon graduation, she was admitted to both the Beijing Film Academy's Acting Department and the University of Southern California's (USC) School of Cinematic Arts. She went on to earn degrees from USC's School of Cinematic Arts and Marshall School of Business. After graduating, she entered the financial industry, joining a major global investment bank for nearly three years, before pursuing a master's degree in journalism at Columbia University in New York. At the same time, she built a social media community of over 300,000 followers, sharing content around fashion, lifestyle, and her life in Hong Kong.
This was not Jen's first pageant. At seventeen, she entered the Miss Asia pageant and reached the final. In 2023, she competed in Miss Hong Kong and again reached the final. This time, after three years away from the pageant stage, she returned and took the crown. Speaking after the competition, she said she was delighted to finally have the time to participate fully and to see the final result.
Jen Zhou's win is not only a personal honour — it represents a modern Hong Kong woman: internationally minded, professionally accomplished, and captivating on stage. She will carry that image to the Miss Universe world stage.
