Miss Universe lifts age regulation: So U40 and 50 women can also compete?

The beauty fan community was abuzz with the sudden change announcement from the Miss Universe organizers, it is entirely possible that Miss Universe 2024 has teenage or middle-aged beauties crowned.

Accordingly, on September 13, Miss Universe representatives publicly announced the removal of all age regulations when participating in the competition from next year. Specifically, the organization announced the removal of all age restrictions in the Miss Universe pageant and related beauty pageants.

This means that this change will apply to all beauty pageants (related to Miss Universe) globally in 2024. Accordingly, every adult woman in the world has the right to register for the Miss Universe pageant.

As soon as the news of the regulation change was widely spread, it created a wave of fierce controversy at international beauty pages. Most netizens think that "untying" the age is unreasonable, losing the inherent tradition for the second largest beauty contest on the planet.

Even the element of competition between the contestants is gone. What if middle-aged women boldly enrolled, how could they compare their physique to younger girls? This would put the contest at risk of becoming a laughing stock for anti-fans.

In addition, Miss Universe has also allowed transgender women to compete, as well as no longer requiring the marital status of contestants. Women who are married or have given birth can still register for the exam.

However, it can be seen that these regulations do not change the number of candidates. Because it depends on the regulations of each contest of each country. To be able to participate in Miss Universe, candidates regardless of age or marital status must meet the requirements and win the national competition.

Typically, in our country, for example, Miss Universe Vietnam still stipulates that contestants are single, aged 18-28 years. While some countries such as the United States, Colombia and Guatemala have only allowed women who are married, pregnant and have children to compete.

Therefore, easygoing people think that the decision is quite interesting because surely the format of the competition will change as well, and they look forward to seeing those changes soon. Beauty is not simply about appearance, maybe renewing regulations will bring more positive views about beauty contests in the world.

In the first season of 2023, R'Bonney Gabriel was crowned at the age of 28 and became the oldest Miss Universe ever (compared to the age level of beauty pageants in general). She was born in 1994, 1m70 tall, born and raised in Texas. The queen has a Filipino father and an American mother.

Recently, at the interview of WWD about the innovation of the Miss Universe organization, the queen expressed her personal opinion: "What I love about Miss Universe is that they always prioritize, look for many methods to be able to integrate and better meet us every day.

I once received a question from Miss Universe in the oral exam: If you could change the rules of what organization, what would you want to do? My answer is to raise the age limit. When I took the exam, the age limit was 28 and I was 28 at the time.

So I think we should change this, a woman's ability to compete in Miss Universe or anything in her life should not be determined by her age. Age is just a number."

Previously, R'Bonney Gabriel had the opportunity to meet with Ngoc Chau at designer Do Manh Cuong's fashion show in New York, USA. This is the first time both queens have met again since participating in the Miss Universe 2022 pageant together in January this year.

On her personal page, R'Bonney Gabriel happily posted the moment she met her friend from Vietnam. It is known that the two have always maintained a close friendship until now.
