Organisers say the high-profile event, themed “Where Beauty, Purpose, and Power Unite,” will not only celebrate elegance and excellence but also amplify advocacy, leadership, and social impact among young women across Nigeria.

According to the organisers, the 2025 edition marks a historic shift in Nigerian pageantry, as it eliminates traditional beauty barriers such as height or size, focusing instead on purpose, advocacy, and leadership potential.

“This is your moment to make history, “for the first time ever, 37 women ,one from each Nigerian state and the FCT will be selected to compete for the inaugural Miss Luxury titles.

“No height or size requirements, no pageant background needed,just bold purpose and a desire to lead.

The Founder and Executive Director of the Miss Luxury Foundation, Dr. Edidiong Udoidiong, described the event as more than a competition, but a movement that empowers women to lead and inspire.

“Through the Miss Migration Crown, we are addressing a major national challenge,” Udoidiong said.

“We are placing a mandate in the hands of a young woman who would serve as an ambassador for safe migration, a voice for the displaced, and a face of hope to those who have none.”

Udoidiong noted that the Foundation is collaborating with key institutions to promote safe and legal migration, taking its advocacy to schools, communities, and online platforms nationwide.

He noted that the Foundation also runs empowerment and vocational training programmes aimed at equipping vulnerable women and youths with practical skills to keep them from falling prey to human traffickers.

Beyond the glamour, the Miss Luxury Pageantry, according to the organisers, is a pioneering platform dedicated to empowering women through visibility, advocacy, and voice.
