It was there that Samira Khan Mahi was officially selected to represent Bangladesh. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-11-08/l0d0fckp/2.jpg More than 120 countries are expected to take part in Miss Universe 2026, which will be held in Puerto Rico from 11 to 24 November. Contestants are expected to start arriving at the venue from 8 November. This leaves Samira Khan Mahi with very little time. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-11-08/jq8y0fy1/3.jpg Mahi found out just six days ago that she had been selected to represent Bangladesh in this year’s competition. She began preparing immediately. On 7 November, last year’s winner, Tanzia Zaman Mithila, formally crowned her. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-11-08/rdww48gw/4.jpg Mahi and Mithila have been friends for a long time. Drawing on her own experience from the previous edition, Mithila has been guiding Mahi. She is also helping her prepare for different aspects of the competition, including costumes and styling, as much as possible. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-11-08/nqxzdbqk/5.jpg Samira Khan Mahi told Prothom Alo, “I feel wonderful. This is the first time in my life that I have had the opportunity to represent Bangladesh internationally. I want to showcase Bangladesh’s culture and its people. People in Bangladesh have given me a lot of support as an actress, but I have never worked on the international stage. This is my first international journey. I am very excited, but also nervous.” https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-11-08/ozq5a264/6.jpeg Mahi also considers herself lucky. Although she has had little time to prepare, she has had the support of Tanzia Zaman Mithila, a friend she describes as being like an elder sister. Mithila has been sharing with her various tricks and showing her how to present herself well at each event. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-11-08/6gw01i8f/7.jpg Since Mahi is leaving the country tonight (8 November 2026) to compete in the international Miss Universe pageant, she has had very little time to get everything ready. Even so, she has managed to collect the necessary outfits from home and abroad. She has selected them in accordance with the Miss Universe look book and packed them into her luggage. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-11-08/7w3qhmtr/8.jpg Mahi said she is taking around 35 outfits to wear at various Miss Universe events. As she will have to manage everything herself, she is packing her luggage accordingly. For now, one friend will accompany her. However, Mahi’s family, along with Mithila, may join her for the final. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-11-08/4zu37slp/9.jpg At the ceremony where she was crowned after winning the Miss Universe Bangladesh title, Mahi wore a blush-pink, off-the-shoulder, corset-style mermaid gown. The outfit had an ivory sheen. As the fabric was sheer, several layers of fluid fabric were used towards the bottom. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-11-08/rhrgg1ij/10.jpg The gown’s most striking feature was its dramatic off-the-shoulder design. The fabric was raised over both shoulders and curved like wings. The shoulder area was embellished with silver beads and small, transparent stones. The upper part of the gown was designed in a corset style. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-11-08/6nbklz8k/11.jpg Overall, Samira Khan Mahi made a striking impression with her first gown at the special occasion of her crowning ceremony. Now, it remains to be seen how much attention her daily looks and activities at the international pageant will attract from audiences and judges.
