Miss England Quits Miss World, Exposes Exploitation
Miss England 2024, Milla Magee, unexpectedly withdrew from the Miss World 2025 competition in Hyderabad, citing exploitative conditions. Magee described feeling objectified, forced to entertain wealthy sponsors, and pressured to conform to outdated beauty standards, contradicting the pageant’s “beauty with a purpose” motto. Her actions highlight allegations of a disconnect between the competition’s public image and the contestants’ experiences. Miss Liverpool replaced Magee as England’s representative.
