Miss Universe 2024 is increasingly 'alum', revealing a format that causes a war on social media for PR?

Recently, Miss Universe held a press conference in Mexico, with the presence of the "core" characters of the contest and Sheynnis Palacios - the reigning Miss Universe.

Here, the representative of the contest gave basic information for the 2024 season. Completely different from the sharing previously posted by the Sash Factor website, Miss Universe 2024 will take the top 30 finalists out of a total of 130 contestants. The format of the finale will take place in parts: Top 30 - Top 12 - Top 5 - Top 3 - Winner announcement.

Miss Universe 2024 attracts attention when it continues to introduce new rules. Accordingly, there will be 4 more sub-prizes for Miss Universe of each continent including: Miss Universe America, Miss Universe Africa, Miss Universe Europe and Miss Universe Asia & Oceana.

At the same time, the crown model worth 5 million USD (more than 115 billion VND) for the winner will also be renewed and predicted to have a greater value. This means that only 2 people will wear the old crown, Sheynnis Palacios - the reigning Miss Universe and R'Bonney Gabriel - Miss Universe 2022.

The new format of Miss Universe 2024 has caused a lot of controversy. Many people even assessed that the oldest and most attractive contest in the world is gradually on the verge of "losing its quality" after 2 changes of ownership.

The selection of 4 Miss for each continent reminds many people of the direction of the Miss World and Miss Intercontinental contests in recent years. This reduces the inherent weight and weight of the Miss Universe brand that has been built over the past 7 decades.

However, some viewers think that the renewal of the format of Miss Universe 2024 is also interesting. Because, it will create conditions for many sash strips in the past decades that have never been "intop" once glorified at this playground. This is also a way for Miss Universe 2024 to associate and maintain a good relationship with national directors.

Since ancient times, Miss Universe has always set strict and strict criteria to make it "labeled" as the most fierce beauty playground on the planet. Accordingly, Miss Universe only accepts female contestants between the ages of 18 and 28 years old, who have not experienced marriage or childbirth.

At the same time, there is only one winner and the aura will be devoted to this character. The subsequent interviews and media meetings were also exclusive to the new Miss Universe. Even the time of the 1st runner-up and 2nd runner-up in the finale took place in an instant, sometimes given less than 5 seconds.

However, Miss Universe gradually began to make major changes, breaking the framework that had been established for decades. Opening was the 2018 season, Angela Ponce - the first transgender beauty to stride on the Miss Universe stage. Next is the 2023 season with a complete improvement, accepting beauties of various ages, allowing transgender contestants, married women, and children to participate in the Miss Universe battle. The latest is the production of 4 more Miss Universe in the continental region for the Miss Universe 2024 season.

How to choose the top of Miss Universe 2024 is being hotly discussed on beauty forums. Many people think that this format is similar to the format of the Miss World finals in recent years.

Besides, the audience also argued about how to announce the runners-up titles. This year's contest will still have 1st runner-up and 2nd runner-up like every year. Many reports say that this year's contest will have four runners-up.

At the press conference, the organizers announced that the venue for the final was CDMX Arena with a capacity of 22,000 people. The finale will be broadcast live on Roku and Telumundo channels. In addition, there will be TV Azeta and other international broadcasters.

The final stage of Miss Universe 2024 will be infinity, yellow. This will be the biggest stage ever. The theme song of this year's contest was composed by Emilio Estefan, a 19-time Grammy Award winner. This year, the organizers also announced a new crown for the new Miss.

The Miss Universe organizers sent a statement to all national directors about the mandatory presence of contestants in Mexico on October 29. Candidates can check-in earlier from October 27-28.

The semi-finals are scheduled to be held on November 14, lasting 3 hours. The national costume contest also took place on the night of the semi-finals. Special prizes like last year are still awarded on this night. There were unexpected guests, especially appearing in the semi-finals. The final of Miss Universe 2024 is scheduled for November 16.

On August 26, the Miss Universe organizers also announced the stage plan and ticket prices for the Miss Universe 2024 finale. Accordingly, tickets for the semi-final night (14/11) cost from 2.3 million VND to 36 million VND. Tickets for the final night (16/11) range in price from 4.6 million VND to 68 million VND.

The ticket price after being announced has created mixed opinions on beauty forums. Many people think that this year's ticket price is quite high, out of the reach of beauty fans who want to come to watch the contest.

This is the fifth time Mexico has hosted a Miss Universe. The reigning Miss Universe 2023 is the Nicaraguan beauty - Sheynnis Palacios. She is the most beautiful Miss World 2023 voted by Globalbeauties.
