History
[edit]Miss Universe UAE was officially announced on 7 October 2021, during a press conference in Dubai.[1][2] The inaugural competition was supposed to be held in 2021, with its winner making the nation's debut at the Miss Universe 2021 competition, but the pageant was cancelled.[3] Miss Universe UAE does not have a swimsuit competition, instead incorporating a fashion couture round instead. Applications are open to all residents of the United Arab Emirates, rather than solely citizens.[4][5][6]
