Nevertheless, Garrett's participation immediately ignited a heated controversy.
In an interview with Hola magazine, Jane Dipika Garrett, a contestant who is part American, spoke about her mission to represent women of all body types and sizes. As someone who doesn't conform to certain beauty standards, she wants to show that all women are beautiful and deserving of representation.
Taking part in the prestigious beauty pageant marks a major achievement in promoting body positivity and inclusivity, particularly given the obstacles she has overcome regarding her body image. The recipient of the Miss Nepal crown bravely disclosed her journey, stating, "I used to be extremely self-conscious and lacked confidence a few years ago. But now, I have learned to embrace and appreciate myself, and that's what I consider true success."
Garrett's unwavering belief in challenging traditional beauty norms shines through in her inspiring statement: "I firmly believe that beauty comes in all forms; every woman possesses her unique beauty." As she graces the Miss Universe stage, Garrett not only vies for the crown but also advocates for a more inclusive and accepting perception of beauty that celebrates diversity and defies rigid standards.
