For the latest update of Big5 Ranking, we will be tackling two subjects: the rise of Indonesia and the battle for Top 10.

It is amazing that Indonesia has now two Big5 titleholders. The victory of Miss Supranational 2024 Harashta Haifa Zahra and Miss International 2017 Kevin Lilliana however, was made possible through the persistence and courage of their predecessors. Indonesians were once barred from participating in beauty pageants due to the protests of religious leaders. Despite the ban, there were several Indonesian women who secretly participated at Miss Universe. The most controversial one was Alya Rohali who drew criticisms and protests when her bikini photos during the Miss Universe 1996 pageant was published in Indonesian newspapers.

It is a totally different scenario now. Indonesia today enjoys a vibrant beauty pageant community and has a robust pageant infrastructure. If the momentum is sustained, we will see an Indonesian Miss World soon! Shame though that their Miss Universe franchise is in limbo. If it is still under Puteri Indonesia, there’s a pretty good chance that the country will win the Miss Universe crown too!

Meanwhile, in the battle for Top 10, Finland – unexpectedly – is still clinging at the Top 10. It still ranks above South Africa, France, Puerto Rico, and Mexico! Finland is an old powerhouse. It has racked up points in the ranking from its glory days in the 1960s to 1970s. And although its last placement at Miss Universe was the 2nd runner-up finish of Lola Odusoga back in 1996 and its last semifinal finish at Miss World was almost a decade ago, Finland is actually pretty strong at Miss International!

This year is a litmus test wether Finland can still shine. Watch out for Miss Suomi Matilda Wirtavuori as she compete for the title of Miss Universe 2024. Her runners-up as well could make a good impression. It would be interesting if Finland can hold on to its position this year.
