Miss Supranational 2024: What You Need to Know

Miss Supranational 2024 just wrapped up, and fans are buzzing about the crowning moment, the runway looks, and the impact on African contestants. If you missed the live show, this guide gives you the key takeaways, the winner’s story, and why the pageant matters for the continent.

Who Won Miss Supranational 2024?

The title went to Yasmin Al‑Kurd, a 23‑year‑old from Syria who stole the stage with her confidence and a heartfelt speech about peace. Yasmin’s win is historic: it’s the first time a Middle‑Eastern candidate claimed the crown, and she scored top marks for the talent round with a traditional dabke performance.

Runner‑up spots went to Olivia Mensah from Ghana and Luisa Fernández from Colombia. Olivia’s strong showing put Ghana back on the global pageant map, and fans at home celebrated her vibrant national costume that featured Kente cloth in a modern silhouette.

All three finalists impressed the judges with strong answers on women’s empowerment, climate action, and cultural exchange. The final Q&A round asked each contestant how they would use the Miss Supranational platform to support African youth. Olivia highlighted a scholarship program for tech training, and her answer resonated with both the panel and viewers.

Why the Pageant Matters in Africa

Miss Supranational isn’t just a beauty contest; it’s a launchpad for young women to promote social causes. African participants have used the stage to draw attention to issues like gender‑based violence, education gaps, and renewable energy projects in rural areas. The exposure brings sponsorship deals, media coverage, and networking opportunities that can jump‑start careers in modeling, activism, or entrepreneurship.

Last year, Ghana’s Miss Supranational delegate partnered with a local NGO to fund solar‑powered school labs. This year, Olivia’s proposal to create a pan‑African mentorship network has already attracted interest from several ministries of education. The pageant’s global TV audience means African stories reach viewers in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, helping to reshape stereotypes.

For fans, the pageant also offers a taste of fashion trends, makeup techniques, and cultural performances. Social media buzz around the 2024 event spiked on platforms like TikTok, with hashtags #MissSupranational2024 and #AfricanBeauty trending for days after the final.
