In a groundbreaking moment, Karachi's own Erica Robin has clinched the coveted title of "Miss Universe Pakistan 2023," marking the first-ever victory of a Pakistani contestant in the prestigious pageant.
The competition featured four other talented models hailing from different corners of the country, namely Hira Inam from Lahore, Jessical Wilson from Rawalpindi, Pakistani-American Malika Alvi from Pennsylvania, and Sabrina Wasim.
Upon receiving the Miss Universe Pakistan crown, an elated Erica Robin expressed, "I am deeply honored and humbled to be the inaugural Miss Universe Pakistan, and I aspire to showcase the captivating beauty of our nation."
Robin emphasized that Pakistan possesses a rich cultural heritage that often remains underrepresented in the media. She also highlighted the warmth and hospitality of the Pakistani people, inviting all to explore the country's diverse landscapes, from snow-capped mountains to lush greenery.
As the official representative of Pakistan, Erica Robin is set to compete in the upcoming Miss Universe pageant scheduled to be held in El Salvador later this year. This marks a historic moment for Pakistan as it sends a team of five models to participate in the esteemed global beauty competition for the very first time.
