Beauty queens are supposed to be poised and graceful, but sometimes their behaviour is anything but - from sleeping with a judge to sneaking men into their hotel room. But that's not always what happens. The high-drama, high-stakes nature of beauty pageants has made for some nail-biting moments in the past. Some women have been crowned the winner only to go on to destruction and disgrace — from drug dealing to sneaking men into their hotel rooms.

A beauty pageant or beauty contest is a competition that has traditionally focused on judging and ranking the physical attributes of the contestants, although most contests have evolved to also incorporate personality traits, intelligence , talent , and a contestant's ability to answer judges' questions on various subjects as judged criteria. The term refers largely to contests for women such as the Big Four international beauty pageants. Hundreds of thousands of beauty contests are held annually, [1] but the Big Four are considered the most prestigious, [2] widely covered and broadcast by media.

A child beauty pageant is a beauty contest where contestants are usually under 16 years of age. There does not appear to be reliable statistics about the number of these pageants held each year around the world. They vary in style, and categories may include a talent segment as well as costume and theme wear. Contestants often wear makeup, fake teeth, false eyelashes , lipstick , elaborate hairstyles with hair extensions , and specially designed, sometimes provocative, outfits. Spray tanning and waxing are also common.
