This means that even women who are married, divorced, or have children are eligible to enter. However, there is now a height requirement of 1.68m for contestants.
Miss Universe Singapore 2024 is now inclusive, welcoming all Singaporean women aged 18+ regardless of marital status. Contestants must meet a new height requirement of 1.68m.
