Official Confirmation 𝐌𝐆𝐈 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬 (1st Edition) Delegate “Lilia Gzraryan” from #Armenia 🇦🇲 23 years old An entrepreneur based in China with an academic background in International Relations. She applies a cross-cultural and strategic mindset to the hands-on operation of two distinct businesses, in addition to holding a co-ownership stake in a bar. She has built her career on a foundation of self-reliance. Her journey began with tutoring while she was a university student, driven by a desire for independence. That early discipline, combined with a relentless work ethic honed from childhood, continues to fuel her mission to build her own legacy. Pageant Titles •Miss Grand Armenia 2025 – Representative •Miss Cosmo Armenia 2024 – Representative Project Title: A Crown Is Earned Through Service This advocacy is grounded in the belief that true royalty is not defined by applause, titles, or outward appearance, but by impact. “A Crown Is Earned Through Service” is a values-driven project that promotes hard work, integrity, and service, while encouraging honest conversations around mental health and the unseen effort behind success. Inspired by her own identity as a hard worker, this project seeks to teach young girls the importance of work ethic and essential life skills, while addressing a wider societal issue. Women are often praised for beauty but punished for hard work, honesty, and ambition. This imbalance creates pressure, silence, and emotional strain—particularly for young women who feel expected to maintain perfection rather than live in truth. #MGIAllStars #MGIAllStars1stEdition
