For the first time, the most beautiful woman in the “universe” could be Saudi. As she herself announced on Instagram, Saudi model Rumy Alqahtani will represent her country on September 28, 2024, during the next Miss Universe pageant. A first.
In this ad, seen by Le Parisien, the candidate appears in a sequined dress, a sparkling tiara and, of course, the flag of Saudi Arabia.
“It is my honor to participate in the Miss Universe International 2024 pageant. This is Saudi Arabia’s first participation in the Miss Universe pageant,” she rejoices in the description of her post.
A champion with many crowns
Could Rumy Alqahtani take the crown and give the prize to his country? He already has several victories under his belt. The one from the capital, Riyadh, has won several beauty pageants such as Miss Saudi Arabia, Miss Arab Peace or even Miss Middle East.
The arrival of Saudi Arabia to the competition is an event in itself, as this Middle Eastern country is known for its numerous obstacles to women’s rights and freedoms. The right to drive or travel alone has only been acquired for women in the last ten years.
