New Delhi: R’Bonney Gabriel, the current Miss Universe on Thursday announced that any females above the age of 28 will now be able to participate in the Miss Universe pageant. Earlier the age limit for entering this beauty pageant was 18 to 28 years only. Gabriel made this announcement at designer Tanner Fletcher’s “Beauty Pageant” show during New York Fashion Week. Beginning in 1952, when the Miss Universe pageant started, the age limit for the participants was 18 to 28 years. R’Bonney who is now 29 years old, made a new record as she won the pageant in 2022 as the oldest contestant to become Miss Universe.
Miss Universe’s Instagram handle put up a post captioned, “Limitless @rbonneynola closed out Tanner Fletcher’s stunning NYFW show as the MISS UNIVERSE Organization announced the elimination of age limits across all MISS UNIVERSE and associated pageants.”
“What I love about Miss Universe is that they are always at the forefront, seeking ways to be more inclusive and fulfill the platform they’ve designed for us. There’s a bold, forward-thinking team leading the way here, and many tend to follow our lead. It’s an honor to set the standard, and I’m proud that we are making this change,” Gabriel said, according to reports.
