A moment that goes into history!

revolutionary changes in the competition

This year there was a groundbreaking innovation: The organizers lifted the maximum age limit for participation! For the first time, women were allowed to fight for the title. The oldest participant, Beatrice Njoya from Malta, is 40 years old and already has three children. A sign of more diversity and inclusion in competition that has been taking place since 1952!

The Miss Universe competition has made significant progress in the direction of inclusion in recent years. Married and divorced women and mothers were admitted for the first time last year. And in 2018 a trans woman was represented in competition with Miss Spain. These developments show that the beauty competition is changing and is open to all women!
