Miss Cosmo (mis•ˈkɒzmɒ) is an annual international beauty pageant organized by UNICorp and UNIMedia in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It was founded in August 2023 under the leadership of Trần Việt Bảo Hoàng, with its inaugural competition held in October 2024.[1]

The current titleholder is Ketut Permata Juliastrid of Indonesia, who was crowned Miss Cosmo 2024 on 5 October 2024, at Saigon Riverside Park, Ho Chi Minh City by the president of the Miss Cosmo Organization, Trần Việt Bảo Hoàng. She is the first Indonesian to win the title and the inaugural winner of Miss Cosmo since its inception.[2]

History

[edit]

In 2023, the Miss Universe franchise in Vietnam was awarded to a new national licensee.[3] Meanwhile, Hoa Hậu Hoàn Vũ Việt Nam continued as an independent pageant with the new English title Miss Cosmo Vietnam, separate from the Miss Universe Vietnam competition.[4] Following the split, the winner of Hoa Hậu Hoàn Vũ Việt Nam was no longer titled Miss Universe Vietnam, and on 1 August, it was announced that the pageant's English title would be Miss Cosmo Vietnam. The associated reality television series was also renamed I Am Miss Cosmo Vietnam.[5][6]

Further changes regarding the recent rebranding were announced at the press release on 7 August 2023, including the discontinuation of the second runner-up title, the decision to no longer send delegates to Miss Charm, and giving the audience the power to judge contestants' performances throughout the final.[7]

On 12 August 2023, UNICorp announced that they had held a new international pageant called Miss Cosmo.[8][9][10] The winner of Miss Cosmo Vietnam will be the country’s next representative in this pageant.[11][12][13] Trần Việt Bảo Hoàng, the president of Miss Cosmo Vietnam, is the founder, initiator, and president of this pageant.[14][15][16][17]

The winner will receive prizes such as cash, a one-year stay in an apartment, a modeling contract, and the opportunity to represent the pageant internationally.[18][19][20] Additionally, the winner will serve as an ambassador for charitable initiatives supported by Miss Cosmo, focusing on diversity and inclusion in the beauty industry.[21][22]

The first edition of Miss Cosmo took place in Ho Chi Minh City on September to 5 October 2024.[23] The pageant had contestants from more than 82[24] countries and territories,[25][26][27][28][29] though some countries had withdrawn before the final.[30][31]

Editions

[edit]

In the first edition, the first panelist to become a judge for Miss Cosmo 2024 is Paula Shugart,[32] the former President of the Miss Universe pageant, one of the Big Four beauty pageants.[33][34] With former Miss Universe 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu[35] and Kylie Verzosa, Miss International 2016 as the host.[36]
