The flame of Miss Universe 2021 is still burning, as its 70th edition has just made its way to the iridescent stage on December 13, 2021. Harnaaz Sandhu, an Indian girl, wore the most anticipated crown in the gala round. She won the next entire year’s sponsorship of Miss Universe Organization which comes with a lot of benefits. Let’s get to know what perks of the new Miss Universe 2021 will get.
What are the perks of being a Miss Universe
The most expensive crown
This time the crown of Miss Universe is worth 5 million US dollars, which is more than BDT 429.2 million. This is so far the most expensive crown of Miss Universe events. Prior to Harnaaz, Jojibini Tunji from South Africa, Miss Universe 2019, and Andrea Meja of Mexico, Miss Universe 2020 wore this crown.
With the slogan ‘Power of Unity’, Mouawad, a multinational ornaments manufacturing company made the crown for Miss Universe 2021 in 2019. The combination of 18-carat gold and 1725 white diamonds in the shape of petals, leaves, and vines reflects the bonding and leadership of women across seven continents. The three gold canary-colored diamonds in the center carry the symbol of the aspiring woman. The center stone alone weighs 62.83 carats.
Although the smallest in terms of size, 2021’s Miss Universe crown is the heaviest crown ever.
Prize Money
The Miss Universe 2021 money prize will be two and a half million US dollars, which is more than BDT 21.4 million.
Accommodation facilities
Miss Universe can live in a luxurious apartment in New York City for an entire year. Miss USA also shares this apartment with her. During this tenure, the Miss Universe Organization would be responsible for the overall cost of living in New York.
Health care
For the first year under the sponsorship of Miss Universe, the beauty queen receives the services of world-renowned professional dermatologists, nutritionists, and dentists. In addition, Miss Universe provides the crown winner a team of assistant and professional makeup artists, who look after every aspect of her beauty and health, including her fashion.
Cosmetics and Clothing
Each year, the Miss Universe winner receives free services from famous fashion houses and beauty care companies for one year. This year’s best beauty pageant will be adorned by the world’s best companies like Olivia Quido, Lazada, and Muba throughout 2022.
Travel facilities
After winning the crown, Miss Universe can travel around the world free of cost for one year. Miss Universe Contest Organizers take care of all the hotel rent, food, and travel expenses.
Advanced career
First of all, every Miss Universe winner becomes the chief ambassador of its very own contest event. Thanks to the Miss Universe Organization, she can attend various events including important events, parties, premieres, screenings, and castings.
For a whole year, she gets the scope to work with the best photographers in the world to capture her versatile performances in different shows. Thus, she can prepare an exclusive modeling portfolio that would help her present herself more professionally in the glamor world in the near future.
In a word
Due to all these benefits, Miss Universe has to take many responsibilities on her shoulders in return. The purpose of traveling to different countries of the world is basically to highlight the Miss Universe contest. The stars also represent Miss Universe at important press conferences, premieres, and various parties, including subsequent competitions. Furthermore, Miss Universe has to be involved in various humanitarian contributions for human welfare, especially for the development of women.
