Major International Pageants

• Big Four Pageants: The most prestigious global contests include Miss World, Miss Universe, Miss International, and Miss Earth. • Categories: Pageant titles are typically split into Miss (unmarried women), Mrs. (married women), Mister (male competitors), and Teen (youth). • Evolution: While contests historically focused strictly on physical traits, modern pageants heavily evaluate interview skills, public speaking, and global advocacy platforms.
