Mister Global 2021 contestants dressed in national costumes and look like video game bosses

Beauty pageants are contests that focus on evaluating and ranking people based on their physical attributes. Controversial events that people either find uplifting or objectifying. Whatever your opinion, we can all agree on one thing - the shows are always quite stunning.

Competitions appeared around the 19th century, and the first-ever Miss America pageant was held in 1921. Currently, such events are not as popular as they used to be, however, some organizations do stand out.

Despite the fact that beauty pageants are mainly aimed at women, nowadays many organizations hold pageants exclusively for men. For example, Mister Global - a competition that has been held in Thailand for almost 8 years - once again amazed the public with a competition of national costumes.
