Saudi Woman Rumy Alqahtani Makes Historic First Appearance at Miss Universe Pageant

In a groundbreaking move, Rumy Alqahtani, a 27-year-old woman from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, is set to participate in the prestigious Miss Universe Beauty Pageant, marking a significant milestone in Saudi Arabia’s ongoing reforms under the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

Alqahtani took to Instagram to express her excitement about the opportunity, emphasizing the importance of Saudi Arabia’s debut at the global beauty pageant. She joins Bahrain’s Lujane Yacoub, who made history as the first contestant from the conservative Gulf region in the previous year’s Miss Universe competition.

Scheduled to take place in Mexico on September 18, the upcoming Miss Universe event will also witness Iran’s inaugural participation, reflecting a growing trend of inclusivity and diversity on the global stage.

Alqahtani, who holds a Bachelor’s degree in dentistry, is not only multilingual, proficient in English, French, and Arabic, but also boasts an impressive pageant record. She has been crowned Miss Saudi Arabia, Miss Middle East (Saudi Arabia), Miss Arab World Peace 2021, and Miss Woman (Saudi Arabia), and has participated in various international pageants, including the recent Miss and Mrs Global Asian in Malaysia.

While her participation symbolizes progress and empowerment for many, it has also sparked controversy and criticism among conservative Muslims, particularly in Nigeria.
