Miss Universe is one of the most prestigious international beauty pageants, established in 1952. Each year, contestants from around 100 countries take part, competing not only for the crown but also for the opportunity to become a voice for women on global issues. The pageant is renowned for its focus on the individuality of the participants—their values, ambitions, and ability to influence the world around them.
Over the years, the competition has evolved from a traditional beauty contest into a platform that highlights women's leadership, active civic engagement, intelligence, and social responsibility. The organization promotes gender equality, diversity, and inclusion, and is committed to creating positive change in society. The titleholder of Miss Universe becomes an international ambassador for humanitarian causes, participates in global initiatives, and has the opportunity to implement her own ideas that inspire and transform the world.
Today, the pageant is co-owned by JKN Global Group (50%) and Legacy Holding Group (50%).
The Miss Universe Organization headquarters are located in Thailand and Mexico.
