Miss Universe Pakistan 2023
vows to uphold her country’s honor.
Erica Robin, a 24-year-old
model, is set to make history.
Robin invites global
audiences to explore Pakistan’s cultural richness.
“For
the first time, someone from Pakistan will be representing the Miss Universe
pageant. There is a huge responsibility on me and of course the pressure, but I
will not do anything that will bring any shame,” asserts the inaugural Miss
Universe Pakistan 2023, in response to criticism from clerics and the caretaker
government.
Erica
Robin, a 24-year-old model, has been chosen to represent Pakistan in the
upcoming Miss Universe pageant, marking a unique moment that has
garnered both praise and criticism.
Robin
expresses her honor in participating in the competition set for November 18 in
El Salvador, where women from 90 countries will join. In conversations with
media outlets, she firmly states that she will abstain from wearing a bikini
during the competition, vowing not to disappoint her nation with her actions.
This stance aligns with the belief that pageant swimwear is intended to provide
a fun platform for models to showcase their physique, confidence, and
personality to judges.
Upon
securing the title, Robin conveys profound gratitude for becoming “the first
ever Miss Universe Pakistan” and extends an invitation to the audience to savor
Pakistani cuisine and explore the country’s lush landscapes.
She
underscores her honor and humility in representing Pakistan on the global stage
and aims to spotlight the nation’s beauty. Robin emphasizes the often
overlooked positive aspects of Pakistani culture and highlights the generosity,
kindness, and hospitality of its people.
Additionally,
she invites everyone to visit Pakistan, experience its exquisite cuisine, and
explore its captivating natural wonders, including snow-capped mountains, lush
greenery, and progressive landscapes, as conveyed in an Instagram statement.
