Miss Universe Welcomes Saudi Arabia for the First Time

Saudis are feeling super proud today because they're getting ready to root for their country (for the first time ever) at Miss Universe 2024. Why, you ask? Because 27-year-old model Rumy Alqahtani is making history by waving Saudi Arabia's flag on the international stage!

With a million Instagram followers and a veteran in the beauty pageant scene, Alqahtani is bringing her A-game to represent the kingdom like never before. She's all about that debut life, and she's got the glam shots to prove it – sequined gown, tiara, and of course, the Saudi flag in hand.

Hailing from Riyadh, Alqahtani's been rocking stages worldwide, including the recent Miss and Mrs Global Asian in Malaysia. This is just the beginning of Saudi Arabia's shining moment on the global stage.
