What is the Miss Universe 2024 format?
In Mexico, representatives from 130 countries are expected to attend the Miss Universe pageant. The MUO says this will be the biggest one ever.
The MUO has also announced a new way to hold Miss Universe. At the 2024 gala, thirty semi-finalists will move on to the swimsuit round of the preliminary competition, up from twenty in 2023. One of the top 30 competitors will be chosen by a public vote.
In the next round, twelve delegates will walk the catwalk dressed for the evening, and five will move on to a final round of questions and answers. There will be four runners-up instead of two, and the winner of this final question and answer session will be named Miss Universe.
Five continental winners will also be named at the 2024 pageant. One winner will be chosen from Asia and Oceania, Europe, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Europe.
