A Thai beauty queen suffered a mishap during a pageant last night after her veneers fell out onstage.
Footage shows Miss Grand Thailand contestant Kamolwan Chanago delivering her opening remarks when her dental prosthetics suddenly appeared to come loose.
Rather than running off stage, Chanago could be seen turning her back to the audience as she put her fake teeth back into place.
But the beauty queen managed to style the malfunction out, as she confidently strutted down the stage to complete the rest of her routine.
Chanago, who was dressed in a sparkly evening gown, struck poses and smiled for the cameras as the audience loudly cheered for her.
Footage of the incident has gone viral on social media, with users praising her for her professionalism despite the malfunction.
The incident came during the preliminary round of the women's beauty pageant, with the winner of the Miss Grand Thailand title being named on Saturday.
Whoever wins the competition will go on to represent Thailand at Miss Grand International 2026 in India.

The beauty pageant mishap in Thailand comes after a Miss Universe winner staged a mass walkout from one of last year's events in solidarity with Miss Mexico, after the event's president publicly reprimanded the contestant for showing 'no respect'.
Victoria Theilvig, the first Dane to win the top title, stormed out of the sashing ceremony at the Miss Universe delegates' hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, last November after the boss berated Fátima Bosch in front of dozens of other beauty queens.
Justifying her protest against pageant authority, 21-year-old Theilvig said: 'This is about women's rights.'
'To trash another girl - it's beyond disrespectful, and it's nothing I've ever done. That's why I'm taking my coat, and I'm going.'
The unprecedented incident took place during a live-streamed ceremony of the event, where Nawat Itsaragrisil, Vice President for Asia and Oceania within the Miss Universe Organisation, confronted 25-year-old Bosch about her absence from a sponsor shoot earlier that day.
In footage broadcast on the official Miss Universe Thailand Facebook page, Nawat asked Bosch to stand and 'explain herself' in front of the rolling cameras, before instructing security personnel to escort her out of the hotel after she insisted on 'using my voice'.
In a mass revolt in support of the beauty queen, several of her fellow contestants proceeded to stand up from their seats, ready to storm out of the room.
A distressed Nawat could be heard shouting 'Stop, stop!' as the models began making their way out of the ceremony, demanding that they 'Sit down'.
When the visibly uncomfortable Bosch responded to the president that she did not want to be publicly reprimanded before her pageant peers, he took to the microphone to interrupt, telling her: 'I didn't give you the opportunity to talk... I'm still talking, I'm still talking, listen!'

'I have a voice,' Bosch replied, accusing Nawat of 'not respecting me as a woman'.
The argument continued, with the president saying: 'My question is: Can you can work to promote Thailand or not - yes or no?'
Nawat then instructed security to escort Bosch out of the hotel.
Theilvig, who beat out Miss Nigeria at the 73rd edition of the pageant in Mexico City, was one of the pageant queens who stormed out of the ceremony alongside Miss Mexico and was later seen in footage announcing she would not remain in the venue.
'We have respect for everyone, but this is not how things can be handled,' she said.
The clip was shared to social media and quickly gained traction online, as well as praise from other women and delegates.
Fans and former contestants hailed Theilvig's walkout as an act of integrity and courage, while influencers described the moment as 'the most empowering act in Miss Universe history.'
