Beauty knows no boundaries, and the beauty pageants of 2023 were a testament to the diversity of women from around the world. Contestants from different countries brought their unique cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives to the global stage, showcasing a rich tapestry of charm that transcends borders.
Perhaps the biggest event in the world of beauty in 2023 was Miss Universe, held in El Salvador, where Nicaraguan Sheynnis Palacios was awarded the crown of honor and placed on a pedestal as the most stunning girl of the passing year.
However, the competitions have touched many corners of the planet, including Russia and African countries, and beyond the glamour, have become platforms for celebrating talent and impactful advocacy.
