Maya Aboul Hosn reps Lebanon
Maya Aboul Hosn was officially appointed to represent the bride of the Middle East in this year’s coveted Miss Universe competition, which takes place in November. In 2022, the Miss Universe title was won by R’Bonney Gabriel, from the United States.
The Lebanese radio and television personality was crowned first runner-up at the Miss Lebanon 2022 final, which took place in Beirut last July. This year, the beauty queen is determined to win the 72nd Miss Universe pageant.
Maya announced the news in a post on her Instagram. The caption stated, “Embarking on an incredible journey to represent Lebanon in the Miss Universe competition! With love and pride for my hometown, let’s shine on the global stage! 🇱🇧 #missuniverse72“
Aboul Hosn is not the only Arab taking place in the competition. She will be joined by Moira Tantawy, the 21-year-old model who was crowned Miss Universe Egypt 2023 this week, as well as Miss Universe Bahrain Lujane Yacoub.
In 1971, the first woman in Lebanese history to take the Miss Universe crown was beauty queen Georgina Risk. Lebanese contestant Marcèlle Herro also famously ended up in the Top 12 in 1973. We wish Maya the best of luck for the upcoming year.
