💨 Abstract

Milla Magee, Miss England, withdrew from the Miss World beauty pageant, citing exploitation and outdated practices. She felt reduced to a performing spectacle, with an emphasis on appearance rather than personal values. The event required her to dress up in formal attire and converse with wealthy male sponsors continuously. Magee decided to leave after being berated for being "boring" and was replaced by Miss Liverpool, Charlotte Grant.
