SINGAPORE — Miss Universe Singapore (MUS) 2024 is embracing diversity and representation. For the first time in its 70-year history, the local beauty pageant flung open its doors to Singapore citizens who are married, divorced and have children. There is also no upper-age limit.
The 15 finalists of Miss Universe Singapore 2024 at social club 1880 on Aug 28.SINGAPORE — Miss Universe Singapore 2024 is embracing diversity and representation.
Being more inclusive meant more women could take part in MUS, Daly says, noting that 65 women applied in 2024, which was more than previous years. There was even a "very brave 65-year-old, who unfortunately was not that confident in the end". "It's about time I can represent my community on the MUS stage," she says. "MUS is a good opportunity for me to share about my life, my struggles, failures, fears, fighting discrimination, and how I'm achieving my dreams to become a successful trans woman."
"He knew me when I was 20 years old, when I was still doing national service. He was with me throughout my transformation journey from a boy to a woman," says Qatrisha. Stanley is also making history in MUS 2024 by being the first finalist who is a divorcee and a mother. The pageant has also helped her reclaim body confidence after childbirth, adds the Chinese-Indian, who is also an adjunct dance lecturer at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts.
