Showing off her sparkly pink gown and fur shawl, Chanago donned a smile as she continued her walk.
She then gave a two-part twirl before striking more poses and heading off stage.
Throughout her walk, Chanago was welcomed with applause from the crowd.
“She handled this better than most of us handle a bad hair day. Is this the most iconic pageant moment ever?,” a spectator said, per the outlet.
However, a second added, “How embarrassing. I would die. It's so impressive she carried on like nothing had happened.”
A spokesperson for Miss Grand International tells PEOPLE, "During her on-stage introduction, Kamolwan Chanago experienced a minor and unexpected incident in which her veneer teeth became dislodged."
They continued, "She handled the situation with professionalism and composure, and the event continued smoothly without disruption. We are proud of her confidence and stage presence throughout the competition."
The Miss Grand Thailand pageant includes 77 Thai women competing to be named Miss Grand Thailand 2026. The winner of that event will then move on to become a contestant for the Miss Grand International 2026 pageant in India in October.
Miss Grand Thailand’s finale is set to take place March 28 at the MGI Hall in Bangkok, according to the Associated Press.
