Beauty pageants are competitions that typically focus on the physical attractiveness, talent, personality, and other qualities of participants, who are usually women, although there are also male pageants. Contestants are judged based on various criteria, including their appearance, poise, and performance in specific categories, such as evening wear, swimwear, and talent displays. Pageants often have a social or community service component, where participants engage in philanthropic activities. The aim is not only to recognize beauty in a traditional sense but also to highlight intelligence, ambition, and the ability to contribute positively to society. Beauty pageants can vary widely in their structure, rules, and cultural significance across different countries. They have sparked discussions regarding standards of beauty, gender roles, and the empowerment of women, as well as critiques regarding the objectification of participants.
