Ranking by Stephen Diaz [@stephen.inventor.diaz]

The results of Miss Universe 2023 provided some insights on what is going on the world of beauty pageants. Brazil slipped to the 5th place largely because it missed the Miss Universe semis berth for three straight years. What is alarming is that Brazil was used to be on the 3rd place and it is just gradually slipping in the ranking. Meanwhile, Colombia is gaining ground and it is now officially the 4th strongest nation on earth when it comes to beauty pageants.

Nicaragua improved its standing after winning its first ever Big5 crown. It is now on the 57th place up by six places! Pakistan climbed 11 places thanks to its first-ever participation and semis placement at Miss Universe. Pageant analysts are hopeful that the country will be able to sustain its momentum and that more Pakistani women will participate at the Big5 pageants.
