The grand coronation of the Miss Universe Jamaica pageant was a royal affair that saw members of the public out in droves, eager to witness the crowning of a new queen. Though it was 25-year-old pharmacy student Rachel Silvera who was crowned Miss Universe Jamaica 2024 that night, patrons of the pageant adorned themselves in sweeping gowns and bold suits at this celebration of beauty and excellence as if it were them strutting across the stage. By the end of the night, the verdict was clear: attendees of the coronation outdid themselves, keeping up with the impeccable standard of beauty set by the Miss Universe Jamaica organisation.
