The Maldives is getting its first beauty pageant later this month, with organisers emphasising the contest’s decency.
Top Model Maldives is the first international competition of its kind to be held in the country.
The franchise beauty pageant, managed by the World Beauty Organization, launches on April 15 with 21 contestants. They will compete for 10 places at the finale, during which three winners will be selected.
The trio will have the opportunity to take part in the franchise’s international event, to be held in Granada in October.
