Muna Juma, the 27-year-old beauty queen from London has won the right not to pose in a bikini, but stand among her fellow finalists in a kaftan instead, in the Miss Universe GB competition.
Juma, the philanthropist co-founded a startup Cloudless Research to tackle illegal migration and child abuse in East Africa had initially applied for the competition around two years back. She withdrew her application over concerns that she would have to wear a bikini, which is against her religious beliefs but finally reapplied after beating off stiff competition to reach the UK final.
