According to a November 2, 2026 report by Cambodian media outlet AMS, French-Cambodian model and actress Mélia Constantin appeared in promotional material relating to candidates for TC Candler's 2026 'The 100 Most Beautiful Faces' list, drawing attention from Cambodian audiences and pageant fans.
AMS reported that, in the promotional poster published on TC Candler's social media, Mélia wears a Cambodian royal dance costume with a crown, flowers, a necklace and traditional accessories. With an ancient Khmer temple as the backdrop, the striking look combines French elegance with Khmer cultural beauty.
The appearance has brought more attention to the French-Cambodian model and actress. Many Cambodian viewers and beauty-pageant fans hope she will enter a Cambodian pageant in future and have the chance to represent the country internationally.
TC Candler is known for publishing its annual 'The 100 Most Beautiful Faces' and 'The 100 Most Handsome Faces' lists. Founded in 1990 by film critic Thomas Clement Candler, the project has long attracted attention from entertainment and social-media audiences worldwide.
AMS said in its report that the results had not yet been announced. Whether Mélia will make the final list remains to be seen.
