Saudi Arabia Enters Miss Universe 2024: A Historic Debut

Saudi Arabia officially enters the Miss Universe Pageant. This will be a first for this gulf country that has been constantly
trying to shed its conservative cloak for the past few years. Rumy Alqahtani, the 27-year model, will represent Saudi
Arabia in this competition.
Saudi Arabia announces its participation in the Miss Universe Beauty pageant with 27-year-old pageant veteran Rumy
Alqahtani. Alqahtani creates history by becoming the first-ever representative of the Islamic country to enter Miss
Universe 2024.
Rumy Alqahtani announced her participation through an Instagram post. “It is a privilege for me to compete in the Miss
Universe 2024 pageant. This marks the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's first participation in the Miss Universe pageant," she
stated in her post on Monday.
Alqahtani’s participation in Miss Universe 2024 also made her the second female in the Gulf Region to represent her
country after Bahrain’s Lujane Yacoub. Yacoub represented her country in the Miss Universe pageant last year.

Who is Rumy Alqahtani

Rumy Alqahtani is a model and content creator, hailing from Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. She is a well-known
face in the global pageant industry. Her recent participation includes Miss and Mrs Global Asian.
Besides the title of Miss Saudi Arabia, Alqahtani also holds the beauty titles of Miss Middle East (Saudi Arabia), Miss
Arab World Peace 2021, and Miss Woman (Saudi Arabia).

What makes it a historic moment?

Rumy Alqahtani's representation in the Miss Universe pageant is a reflection of the continuous transformation that the
country is going through under the direction of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud.
Saudi Arabia is known for its strict social and religious control over its citizens. These strict regulations have, however,
loosened in recent months. The changes that garnered the most attention were removing restrictions on women.
Women in Saudi Arabia are now allowed to drive, attend mixed gatherings, and apply for passports without the
guardianship of any male member of the family.
The kingdom has taken a swift detour from its traditional norms under the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed bin
Salman. Official participation in the international beauty pageant can be seen as another milestone in this whole
process of transformation.

Miss Universe 2024

The Miss Universe 2024 is set to take place in Mexico on September 18. This will mark the 73rd edition of this
prestigious beauty event. Women of all ages are eligible to contest in this pageant. Previously the pageant had an upper

prestigious beauty event. Women of all ages are eligible to contest in this pageant. Previously the pageant had an upper
age limit of 28 years.
At the occasion, Sheynnis Palacios, the reigning Miss Universe from Nicaragua, will give her crown to the new Miss
Universe. She is the first female of Nicaragua to win the Miss Universe title.
With Saudi Arabia entering the Miss Universe 2024 for the first time, the list of firsts in Miss Universe increases. The
Miss Universe pageant is again ready to set an example of inclusivity and diversity in 2024.
