[1] Miss Universe UAE is a national beauty pageant that is to select the representative of the United Arab Emirates for the Miss Universe competition.
Miss Universe UAE was officially announced in September 2024, during a press conference in Dubai. [2] [3] The competition is to be held in 2024, with its winner making the nation's debut at the Miss Universe 2024 competition. Miss Universe UAE does not have a swimsuit competition, instead incorporating a fashion couture round. Applications were open to all residents of the United Arab Emirates, rather than solely citizens. [4] [5] [6]
On September 8, 2024, a new team took over the license led by former Miss Universe Indonesia national director Poppy Capella. [7]
