Miss Universe sparked a social media war for 'breaking' an unchangeable tradition after 7 decades?

After being handed over to a new owner, Miss Universe has continuously had unexpected changes, causing a lot of controversy across beauty forums. Accordingly, the 2024 season also has major changes in the semi-final night.

Mr. Raul Rocha - co-owner of Miss Universe revealed that the format of the semi-final night will be the Swimsuit and National Costume performances. Ms. Anne Jakrajutatip - Thai owner of Miss Universe also made a similar statement when answering the media in her home country.

The Evening Gown performance was not mentioned by both. This means that this competition will be cut from the Miss Universe 2024 semi-final night. This is unprecedented in the history of this competition over the past 7 decades.

The 2023 season also witnessed a drastic change in Miss Universe. This fierce beauty pageant removed the bottlenecks in the rules of selecting contestants. Not only breaking the age limit, Miss Universe also allowed transgender people, women who are married, have children or have a non-standard body shape to compete.

In the top 20 finalists of Miss Universe 2023, there are also special factors including: Representative of Portugal (transgender), representative of Colombia (married woman with children), representative of Nepal (overweight beauty).

The Miss Universe 2024 finale will take place in Mexico on a huge scale. The venue can accommodate up to 20,000 people. More than 130 contestants from countries and territories will participate in the competition, making the race even more fierce. The reigning Miss Universe - Sheynnis Palacios will crown her successor, ending a brilliant year of her tenure.

Previously, the Miss Universe owners, Mr. Raul Rocha and Ms. Anne Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip, also said that this year's season will be a competition of about 130 countries. This is the most fierce season in history and has the most contestants compared to many years ago. Currently, Miss Universe 2024 has officially revealed 54 contestants.

Miss Universe 2024 is also a fierce competition between old and new faces. Many candidates have titles in other BIG 6 competitions, making the competition atmosphere even more fierce.

The 2023 season witnessed the first coronation of the Nicaraguan sash. Before achieving this achievement, the reigning Miss Universe was Do Thi Ha's opponent at Miss World 2021 and entered the final top 40.

Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 is still in the process of finding the most suitable representative to send to compete internationally. The person the public expects to receive this ticket is Ky Duyen - Miss Vietnam 2014. The Vietnamese sash has achieved an impressive series of achievements at Miss Universe for 4 consecutive years. Specifically, including: H'Hen Nie - top 5 season 2018, Hoang Thuy - top 20 season 2019, Khanh Van - top 21 season 2020 and Kim Duyen - top 16 season 2021.

Vietnam's representative at Miss Universe 2024 is being eagerly sought. Accordingly, on the evening of August 22, Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 aired its first episode titled Audition. True to the theme of Influencing beauty, the contestants brought inspiring stories about the image of independent and confident women.

In the first part, the contestants introduce themselves and answer questions from the judges to advance to the next round. Many champions from TV shows impress with their confidence in their answers.

Supermodel Me 2021 champion Nguyen Quynh Anh was questioned about her educational background when she only stated that she had completed high school. She affirmed that she was ready to face all opinions and explained that she had to stop studying to participate in The Face Vietnam 2019 and then continue to postpone her college program in Ho Chi Minh City to compete in Supermodel Me 2021 in Singapore.

"Those opportunities helped me gain a lot of experience on my journey to conquer the professional modeling career. However, they unintentionally interrupted my studies," the beauty shared. Quynh Anh said she will continue to pursue her studies after the contest, to supplement her knowledge and develop necessary skills for the future. She was also the first contestant in the top 33 to receive 4 "yes" from the judges.

The appearance of The Face Vietnam 2017 Champion Phi Phuong Anh also caused surprise. Miss Huong Giang commented: "Many people doubt whether Phi Phuong Anh is a superficial girl, doing everything just for temporary joy?".

Phi Phuong Anh affirmed that she is putting all her heart into Miss Universe Vietnam 2024. "I always try my best in every product. Women's youth is short, so I want to explore many different fields and hope everyone will support me on every journey," she said.

Appearing in the final group of contestants, Golden Swallow 2021 Champion Doan Thi Thu Ha impressed with her confident presentation skills. She received feedback on improving her outfit and makeup to perfect her image.

Besides the experienced contestants, some girls had difficulty wearing high heels, making the catwalk wobbly and unbalanced.
