Ignacia Fernández, Miss World Chile, performed death-metal vocals with her band Decessus’ song “The Hollow Descent” during the Miss World talent competition in Vietnam. Her appearance brought an unusual musical style to the pageant’s global stage and highlighted her identity as both a beauty contestant and metal musician.

Fernández had previously won the Miss World Chile title in November 2025 after performing an original Decessus song. She did not win the talent round, which went to England’s Grace Richardson for singing “Over the Rainbow”, but remains in contention for the overall Miss World crown; Fernández later praised the other contestants and described the performance as unforgettable.
