Preparation details… thoughtful elegance and a clear identity

Miss Lebanon 2025 is undergoing intensive daily training that includes runway walking and speech practice, alongside meticulous work on the finest details of her looks, especially the national costume and the final evening gown. In her interview with Annahar, she says: “I am currently focusing on coordinating each look carefully, and George Chamoun and I are working precisely to ensure that they reflect my personality and identity.”

As for the national costume, designed by Jean Louis Sabbagh, she describes it as “an unconventional design that took a long time to create so that it would be different, while at the same time reflecting the spirit of Lebanon and its heritage.”

Harb is not going through this experience alone. She is supported by a full network of family and her professional team, including Michael Morcos and Chamoun. She emphasizes that the work is being done in a team spirit to ensure she is both mentally and physically ready for the Miss World competition.

A cause that goes beyond the stage… empowerment in the digital age

Beyond the formal competition, Harb carries a cause linked to the reality of the new generation. She says: “I advocate for women’s empowerment in the era of social media. This world is full of opportunities, but it also carries risks, and it is essential to raise awareness about digital safety.”

She has previously participated in initiatives focused on digital security, in an effort to turn her platform into a space for real impact.

A message to Lebanon… hope despite everything

Amid difficult circumstances, Harb delivers an emotional message to the Lebanese people: “We are going through a difficult period, but our pain is one. I hope that the coming days bring hope and peace, and that Lebanon returns to how we love it.”

It is worth noting that Perla Harb, from the town of Al Maamriyah in southern Lebanon, holds a degree in banking and finance. She was crowned Miss Lebanon 2025, affirming from the beginning that beauty is not limited to appearance, but is reflected in message, ambition, and presence on the global stage.
