It was in 2016 when Cambodia held its first national beauty pageant and sent Sotheary By as the first ever Cambodian woman to walk on the Miss Universe stage. After Sotheary, \Rern Sinat represented the Kingdom in the international pageant held in Bangkok. These two women, despite not bringing home the most coveted Miss Universe crown and sash, were epitomes of all Khmer women – strong-willed, hopeful and courageous. And yes, beautiful, stunningly beautiful.
We hope that this year Cambodia's representative will not only continue the legacy of the previous winners but also outperform her predecessors' performances at the international stage.
