Marcella Kozinski, 26, has thrown herself into a whirlwind of events and public appearances since being crowned Miss Universe Brazil 2026, and a distinctive fashion identity is already emerging less than a month into her reign.
The titleholder, who is from the Brazilian state of Parana, moves easily between glamorous gala gowns, precise tailoring, structured corsets and monochrome looks. Her choices consistently favour a defined waist and prominent shoulders, drawing attention to her silhouette.
On the night of her coronation in July, Kozinski signalled this style immediately, appearing in a sparkling gown with structured lapels that extended from the neckline to the shoulders, blending traditional pageant grandeur with a contemporary design.
A quick change in style
The very next day, she made an abrupt switch, swapping her gown for an off-white outfit with urban lines and impeccable tailoring, showing she can move effortlessly between different style languages.
That versatility has continued to show at each new appearance. At formal events, long dresses and skirts have taken centre stage, paired with jewels and shimmering fabrics. At other times, she has opted for ruffles, strategic volume and structured pieces. Even in casual settings, refinement has remained a constant, including all-black looks that read as sophisticated on her.
Signs before the national win
This visual signature was already apparent before Kozinski won the national title. While still holding the Miss Universe Ilha do Mel title, she showed her taste for striking looks by starring in photo shoots wearing dramatic, vivid red gowns that kept the focus on bare shoulders and a defined waist.
Looking ahead to the international stage
As she prepares to represent Brazil on the international stage, fashion is becoming a central tool in shaping her public image. Kozinski is only at the start of her journey as Miss Universe Brazil, but her early choices already suggest that versatility, elegance and glamorous presence will define her reign.
