Miss Universe UAE


Miss Universe UAE is a national beauty pageant that is to select the representative of the United Arab Emirates for the Miss Universe competition.

History

Miss Universe UAE was officially announced in September 2024, during a press conference in Dubai. The competition was held in 2024, with its winner making the nation's debut at the Miss Universe 2024 competition. Miss Universe UAE won't have a swimsuit competition, due to extremely strict local traditions based on Islamic Sharia laws; instead incorporates a fashion couture round.
Applications were open to all residents of the United Arab Emirates, rather than solely citizens. On September 8, 2024, a new team took over the license led by former Miss Universe Indonesia national director Poppy Capella.
