Miss International (Miss International Beauty or The International Beauty Pageant) is a Japan-based international major beauty pageant organized by the International Culture Association. First held in 1960,[1][2] it is the fourth largest pageant in the world in terms of the number of national winners participating in the international contest.[3][4][5]
Along with Miss World, Miss Universe, and Miss Earth, the pageant is one of the Big Four beauty pageants.[6] The Miss International Organization and the brand are currently owned (since 1968), along with Miss International Japan, by the International Cultural Association and Miss Paris Group.[citation needed] The pageant crown used by the organization is supplied and patented by the Mikimoto pearl company.
In 2020 and again in 2021, the pageant was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
The current Miss International is Huỳnh Thị Thanh Thủy of Vietnam, who was crowned on 12 November 2024 in Tokyo, Japan.
