Miss Universe: A Crowning Reflection of Modern Beauty Trends

Since 1952, Miss Universe has celebrated the beauty of the female form, claiming to be a source of empowerment and instilling values of confidence in women across the globe. In recent years, the pageant has received numerous sources of backlash, claiming the organization is “antiquated and out of style,” especially from proponents of the feminist movement. Fans of the competition argue that Miss Universe provides a platform for women to promote causes that matter to them while gaining exposure to new and exciting opportunities across the globe.
