After the evening gown presentation, the organizers announced the first four contestants to make it into the top 5: Indonesia, Germany, Thailand, and Mexico. The remaining eight contestants, including Mai Ngo, had to compete for the final spot through a Q&A round with a common question.

In this segment, each contestant has 60 seconds to answer the question: "Sometimes the most beautiful crowns are invisible. What invisible crown are you wearing?"

Mai Ngo gave a unique answer when introducing herself as a girl who had participated in many competitions but only reached the position of second runner-up. She asserted: "Failure is my invisible crown. My success is not measured by titles but by the number of lives I have inspired, empowering people to live more strongly and dare to step out of their comfort zones."

Other contestants also gave impressive answers. Miss Colombia emphasized the importance of serving others and enjoying the small moments. Miss USA chose "voice" as her invisible crown, aiming to inspire women in male-dominated professions.

Miss Netherlands shared her past in an unstable foster care system to inspire those who feel limited by their circumstances. Miss India chose courage and contentment, while Miss Bolivia drew inspiration from her grandmother's dedication to serving the less fortunate.

Finally, Venezuela made the strongest impression with her answer regarding the invisible crown: empathy, compassion, and love. She shared: "Every day we must ask ourselves, how are we living? The most important quality we can possess as human beings to help each other become more harmonious is empathy."

With this answer, Venezuela surpassed the remaining 7 competitors to secure the final spot in the top 5.

In the individual interview round, the five contestants answered different questions, expressing their personal views and values.

Top 5 in the first round of the Q&A competition:

Miss Indonesia was asked about the biggest barriers to education for young girls. She pointed to a lack of financial opportunities and social stigma as the main issues, while asserting that when given the opportunity, women can fully empower themselves and lead the world.

The German beauty queen was asked about the stereotypes women face that she wants to change. She strongly rejected the notion that women are only meant to stay at home and raise children, asserting that women are born to be leaders, to change the world , and to bring love into male-dominated professions. She believes that a mother's love and a woman's love can create great change.

Miss Thailand shared how failure transformed her. She recounted her past lack of confidence, her reluctance to stand on stage, and her failure in the Q&A segment at Miss Universe Thailand. However, those failures helped her mature and become a better version of herself, daring to face her fears and stand on the stage today.

Miss Mexico was asked what aspects of her culture she wanted to showcase to the world. She emphasized her country's rich traditions and inspiring strength. She believes that by finding purpose and helping others shine, we can build a better society. She proudly carries not only her country but also her purpose in life.

Miss Venezuela was asked how to define success in a world measured by fame and money. She gave the most outstanding answer, asserting that fame and money aren't everything; what matters most is spiritual well-being. She considers herself the richest person in the world because she has love for her family and country, and the opportunity to speak about love and empathy to create a more harmonious world together. This answer was judged to reflect a truly successful and happy person.

When asked about the role of beauty queens in supporting the community beyond charity and donations, the five contestants gave answers that reflected their personal aspirations and values.

Top 5 answers to the general question:

Miss Indonesia stated that she will create programs to empower young women through mentoring and organizing discussions, transforming Miss Charm into a platform that helps women combine opportunities and inner strength. Miss Germany emphasized the role of community solidarity through celebrating indigenous cultures, helping people take pride in their origins and learn from each other to build a more harmonious world.

Miss Thailand shared her desire to inspire people about mental health and self-confidence, helping them overcome difficult circumstances to become the best version of themselves, just like the journey she has taken. Miss Mexico introduced the " Powering Stars" project – a platform sharing courses and tools to help others shine, asserting that the crown is merely a symbol, and true influence is measured by the number of people inspired.

Miss Venezuela gave a good answer, stating that the modern beauty queen title is not just about the title but also about the entirety of one's career and personal history. As a musician, she wants to use music – the universal language of humanity – to foster empathy and connect people through art.
