The global beauty pageant community is watching closely after the official Miss Universe Instagram account, which boasted more than 7 million followers, vanished from the platform in late February 2026 with no explanation from the Miss Universe Organisation (MUO).
The apparent disappearance of related high‑profile accounts has intensified speculation about the pageant's future. This coincides with unverified ownership change rumours, legal entanglements and ongoing controversies around the Miss Universe 2025 crown.
