This year’s edition of the Miss Universe pageant will be held in Mexico, the fifth time that the country will be hosting the global tilt. The final competition will be staged at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City on Nov. 16 (Nov. 17) in Manila.
The 2024 pageant has also amassed its biggest haul of delegates at 125. The international competition never breached the 100-mark before, with its former record set at 94 in 2018, the year Catriona Gray received the crown.
And with such a large pool of formidable ladies, the first cut will also see an increase in the number of qualifiers, with 30 ladies moving on to the next round of competition.
