‘Asia’s Next Top Model’ alum Adela-Mae Marshall to join Miss Universe PH
Another “Asia’s Next Top Model” alum has set her sights on pageantry, as Adela-Mae Marshall is set to represent Muntinlupa at the Miss Universe Philippines 2026 tilt.
Marshall was announced as Muntinlupa’s representative for Miss Universe Philippines 2026 by pageant camp Aces and Queens on Saturday, January 17.
“It’s Official! Congratulations to Adela-Mae Marshall, the new Miss Universe Philippines Muntinlupa 2026. A professional model and Runner-Up of ‘Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 6,’” the post read.
Aces and Queens wished the professional model well on her journey in the national tilt.
“Adela begins her journey to the national stage with confidence and grace. Congratulations, Adela! Your Aces & Queens family is here to support you all the way,” it said.
Marshall made her first appearance as Muntinlupa’s representative at the preliminary competition of Miss Universe Philippines Cavite.
“Miss Universe Philippines Muntinlupa 2026, Adela-Mae Marshall, officially announced during the Miss Universe Philippines Cavite Preliminary Competition,” the post read.
Marshall inherited the regional title from Reina Hispanoamericana 2017 titleholder Winwyn Marquez, the latter of which finished first runner-up at the national tilt.
Prior to entering the national pageant, she is a professional model of British and Filipino heritage and has often appeared on print and digital ads, clothing catalogues, and storefront clothing stores, particularly, the local brand ForMe.
The Filipino-British stunner is best known for representing the Philippines (with fellow model Jachin Manere) in “Asia’s Next Top Model” season six, where she finished as a runner-up. She was often noted for her beauty, where she also declared that she won’t be using it as a ticket to get ahead in the competition.
“Asia’s Next Top Model” season five winner Maureen Wroblewitz previously represented Pangasinan at the national pageant’s 2021 edition, where she finished first runner-up. /edv
