When it comes to the world of beauty pageants, it’s safe to say that the UAE isn’t the most likely location that springs to mind. If one Emirati doctor has his way, however, that could all be set to change this year.
Dr Mansoor Al Obaidli recently quit his medical job to set up seven86, an event and film production company at twofour54, Abu Dhabi. Even more recently, he was officially appointed as UAE representative for the World Beauty Congress’s portfolio of events last month – the first-ever representative from the UAE, or indeed any Arab country – and he is already working on bringing the World Beauty Championship to Dubai in September. He says he’s currently securing sponsorships for the event.
Al Obaidli is quick to note that the World Beauty Congress events are a little different from well-known pageants such as Miss World: focusing not solely on the model, but on the entire team, and their ability to “create beauty.”
“Each team has three members: a hairstylist, a make-up artist and the model, plus the national director,” he explains. “A total of 72 countries are represented at the World Beauty Congress, though, for this first event, we’ll be limiting the entrants to 20 to 25 countries and expanding after that.”
