| Date | December 2024 |
Miss Diva 2024 will be the 12th edition of the Miss Diva pageant which is set to take place in late December 2024. This edition is officially titled as LIVA Miss Diva 2.0 to signify the substantial changes made to the pageant's format compared to its previous editions.[1][2]
Sonal Kukreja, the reigning Miss Diva Supranational, will crown her successor at the end of the event. The newly crowned winner will represent India at the upcoming Miss Supranational 2025 pageant, to be held in July in Poland.
Background
[edit]The Miss Diva 2024 introduces notable changes as it marks the first edition after the organization ended its association with Miss Universe, which had previously served as the platform for selecting representatives.[3]
Despite this shift, the pageant will continue awarding the Miss Diva Supranational title. For the first time, Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) are eligible to compete for the main title, a change from previous years when OCI participants were only allowed to vie for runner-up positions. In addition, two new categories have been introduced for 2024: Miss Diva Fashion Designer and Miss Diva Content Creator.[4]
On October 23, 2024, the organization announced mentors for each title. Ritika Khatnani, Miss Supranational Asia 2022, will mentor Miss Diva Supranational. Fashion designer Sonaakshi Raaj has been named mentor for Miss Diva Fashion Designer, and Bhavna Singh will guide the Miss Diva Content Creator category.[5]
Format
[edit]The competition will follow its traditional format, starting with registration and auditions, leading up to the selection of finalists for the grand finale.
Miss Diva Supranational: As in previous editions, the Miss Diva Supranational title will be awarded based on standard evaluation criteria. The contestant chosen will exemplify the values of Miss Supranational—strength, aspiration, and inspiration. Judging will consider beauty, fitness, communication skills, personality, and commercial appeal.[6][7]
Miss Diva Fashion Designer: This new title will highlight outstanding designers who demonstrate creativity and craftsmanship. Contestants will be evaluated on their styling, attention to detail, theme development, color use, fabric texture, and overall execution. Finalists will present their designs at the finale, where a winner will be selected.[8][9]
Miss Diva Content Creator: This title will go to a contestant who showcases creativity and originality in content creation, particularly in the fashion and beauty space. Judging will focus on content quality, visual appeal, relevance, and engagement metrics like likes, shares, and views. A panel of judges will select eight finalists, with the winner determined through a mix of judge evaluations and public voting on social media.[10][11]
