Mishael, a Trinidadian-Canadian actress, looked back to her roots during her acceptance speech as she noted: ‘I was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 on a tiny island in the Caribbean, and I’m now standing on an international stage and I am being honored regardless of the color of my skin, regardless of my passport, for being the best at what I do.’

The beauty’s gown had a black belt that drew attention to her trim waistline and also boasted short, ruffled cap sleeves.

She turned heads in the eye-popping ensemble, which stretched over her feet and featured peplum-like accoutrements at her hips.

She gave a shoutout to viewers during her impassioned thank you monologue as she noted, ‘I need to thank the fans and everybody sitting at home.

‘They embraced me when I came on this show and I am so immensely proud of our generation. We are breaking glass ceilings left, right and center and I am so honored to be a vessel and to experience this moment.

‘Everybody out there today, we can do this thing called equality and unity together,’ she finished.

Thoughtful words: In her acceptance speech she said, ‘Now there are little girls around the world and no matter what the industry, the vocation … they can strive to be the best’

Mishael – who shares two 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren with husband Navid Ali, who’s also an actor – looked gorgeous in a face of glamorous makeup.

Her eyebrows were expertly-arched to frame her big, brown eyes and she also drew attention to them with fluffy lashes.

She highlighted her high-wattage smile with a brick red matte lipstick, which complemented her pout as she cheesed throughout the evening.
