Miss Italy pageant patron Patrizia Mirigliani argued the pageant has only ever allowed biologically female competitors, and she criticized other pageants' inclusivity efforts.
Contestant Rikkie Kolle reatcs after being crowned winner in the Miss Netherlands beauty pageant in Leusden, on July 8, 2023. A transgender woman has won the Miss Netherlands beauty pageant for the first time in the history of the tournament, saying she wanted to be a"voice and role model" for others.
"I thought we were really accepting . . . in the Netherlands, but the hate comments show the other side of our society. I hope that's a wake-up call," Kolle told Reuters, calling the comments unprovoked. The Miss Italy competition has regularly made updates to maintain strict standards on entry, with a major update in 2012 to ban any contestant who had undergone plastic surgery, The Sydney Morning Herald reported at the time.
Mirigliani even banned"revealing swimwear," body piercings and tattoos, enforcing a black-and-white one-piece option only for the contestants to wear. She argued that the changes helped evoke the kind of"classic beauties" of the 1950s.
