In November 2023, the spotlight shone brightly on El Salvador as the 72nd annual Miss Universe pageant brought together contestants from 84 nations.
Among them was Jane Dipika Garrett, who represented Nepal with grace and determination.
At just 22 years old, Garrett captured global attention by becoming the first plus-sized delegate in the competition’s history,
breaking barriers in an industry often defined by conventional beauty standards.
Hailing from Kathmandu, she stood out at the prestigious competition that has previously crowned notable winners likeOlivia Culpo in 2012.
She represented her country as Miss Universe Nepal, becoming a fan favorite not just for her appearance but also for her unwavering advocacy.
