This year's Miss Universe competition saw a monumental increase with 125 contestants, featuring debuts from countries like North Macedonia and the Maldives, and highlighted the participation of the oldest contestant ever and the first to wear a hijab.
The event was historic not only for the number of contestants, which was 41 more than last year, but also for the diversity of representation, as both new and returning nations showcased their talents on a global stage.
The inclusion of the oldest-ever contestant and the first hijab-wearing participant marked significant milestones in the pageant's history, reflecting a shift toward greater inclusivity and representation.
With Cuba and Samoa returning to the Miss Universe stage after long absences, along with the debut of various nations, this year's event represents a notable expansion of global participation.
