A beauty contest, or a beauty pageant, is a competition between people, based largely, though not always entirely, on the beauty of their physical appearance. Competitions for men and women are separate events, and those for women are more common. Also, there are beauty contests for teenagers, which are sometimes controversial, especially if they dress in no more than a swimsuit.
Beauty contests for women often have rules regarding the “purity” of the contestants. For example, they must not be married, must agree to remain celibate during their “reign,” and must agree to refrain from other acts that contest organizers regard as “moral degradation.” Breaking any of those rules disqualifies the contestant.
The modern beauty pageant can trace its origin to the Miss America pageant, first held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1921, under the title “InterCity Beauty” contest. The following year, the title was renamed Miss America. Nowadays, the two largest and most famous international beauty contests include the yearly Miss World competition (founded in 1951) and Miss Universe (1952). As women from around the world participate each year in the competitions for these titles, the organizers of the major beauty contests represent their contests as events of world importance.
While many other people consider beauty contests to be agreeable entertainment events of no great importance, many feminists regard beauty contests for women as degrading to females in general, as well as to the women who compete in them. They have particularly objected to swimsuit rounds in competitions where the contestants parade dressed only in swimsuits and high- healed shoes. Partly because of this, beauty contests have declined in popularity since peak in the 1960s
