Miss Lebanon 2024 was the 62nd edition of the Miss Lebanon pageant, held on July 27, 2024, at the Seaside Arena, Beirut, Lebanon.[1] Nada Koussa of Rahbeh was crowned by Yasmina Zaytoun of Kfarchouba at the end of the event.[2]
Koussa will represent Lebanon at Miss Universe 2024[3] and will also compete at Miss World 2025.[4]
Background
On June 25, 2024, Miss Lebanon broadcaster LBCI confirmed that the pageant would be held on July 27.[5] The announcement came after a one-year hiatus, in which LBCI was forced to cancel the 2023 competition due to the lack of sponsors.[6] It was revealed that Lebanese singer Elissa would be performing during the event.[7][8]
International Lebanese jeweler Mouawad was the crown sponsor for this pageant, and provided the Cedar of Hope crown.[9]
As is customary, a Lebanese fashion designer Tony Ward was chosen to provide evening gowns to the contestants.[10]
For the first time, the jury was entirely made up of women. This was an effort to promote female empowerment.[11]
Selection of participants
In March 2024 LBCI released a video on Instagram encouraging Lebanese women to attend the Miss Lebanon 2024 contestant casting. Those living in the abroad were also encouraged to enter the competition.[12]
