Talking about concept of the grand fashion week cum beauty pageant, KirtiChoudhary, Founder, VogueStar, said, “I always wanted to challenge the existing norms of the beauty pageant industry which in my opinion are outdated and partial. The industry has always been associated with stereotypes of being a certain shape, color or size to participate in these contests. This is the time that we start appreciating women for who they are and not their physical attributes. My objective is to make people realize that women are beautiful just the way they are regardless of their shapes, sizes, skin tones and age. VogueStar 2023 is here to redefine the convention in its truest sense and also gives equal opportunity to women from across the country irrespective of their backgrounds. This platform would support women to understand their strengths and showcase them in front of the world.”
Divided into two categories, the pageant will crown three national winners under Miss VogueStar India and MrsVogueStar India. The MrsVogueStar India is further categorized into two groups where in the group will be for married women from the age group of 18-35 while group 2 will be for women who are between 36-60 years. The idea behind this categorization is to ensure fair competition and inclusion of women across the age groups and relationship status to perform with best of their abilities.
