Today, on November 12, the final of the Miss International 2024 beauty pageant has started in the Japanese capital of Tokyo. This year, 19-year-old Sofia Zhoba from Sheptytske (formerly Chervonohrad), Lviv region, represents Ukraine on the international stage.
The Ukrainian beauty showed the jury a national costume – an embroidered blue dress. According to the creators of the outfit, the image highlighted the Ukrainian soul. Zhoba complemented the traditional dress with a flowered wreath.
In addition, the girl took part in a swimsuit show, appearing on the catwalk in a red bikini.
As Zhoba revealed on her Instagram page, the show also included a luxurious runway show reminiscent of a Victoria's Secret show, with contestants walking in front of the jury with large decorative wings that complemented their sparkling costumes.
Zhoba also appeared on the stage in the main evening gown, which was called Starry Sky. The dress was designed by Ukrainian artist Andrii Anikeev. "The black color reminds us of the land that was destroyed by the war but is covered with stars that represent the hope for revival. This dress not only embodies Ukrainian beauty but also conveys a deep symbolism of struggle and hope, which are so important for Ukraine at this time," Miss International Ukraine 2024 said in a statement.
Despite this, the Ukrainian did not make it to the top 20 favorites of Miss International 2024. It is worth noting that this year's contest does not include Russia and Belarus, unlike Miss Universe 2024. Instead, the finalists are from Australia, Cape Verde, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Honduras, Ireland, Japan, Mongolia, Nigeria, South Africa, South Sudan, Taiwan, Poland, New Zealand, the Czech Republic, Venezuela, Spain, Bolivia, and Vietnam. The coveted crown went to a Vietnamese contestant, 22-year-old Thanh Thuy.
We would like to remind you that Sofia Zhoba secured her lucky ticket to the international arena by winning the Miss International Ukraine contest held in Kyiv last year. The girl, originally from Lviv region, is a successful model, works with world-recognized fashion brands, and since February 22, she has been actively volunteering and helping the military.
