About
MISS UNIVERSE
We are part of a legacy, a history and a tradition that upholds the recognition of women’s values, their empowerment, and the start of a lifelong journey that inspires change
Through the years, the values that inspire the Miss Universe Organization have evolved and the principles we believe in have guided us into a new era, where our biggest concerns are the powerful and deep personal stories behind every woman who will walk the stage. Their true beauty and essence reside in their desires and motivations, in their cultural differences, in the way they spread kindness and empathy amongst others, in their qualities as leaders, but most of all, in their ability to shine and help others shine brighter than themselves
