Beauty pageants always divide opinions and, especially of late, have faced much criticism for objectifying women. Some would argue that beauty pageants can be empowering but only if they're more inclusive. But one pageant that stood out was Mister Global, an all-male beauty pageant that features men from various countries. Mister Global has many events but the one that is most awaited is the "National Costume,” a segment in which the contestants wear outfits representing their country and culture. In 2022, the beauty pageant returned after a hiatus of two years due to the pandemic, reported MyModernMet. A total of 33 men from different countries traveled to Thailand to participate in the event. 2022's competition was captured by photographer David Ryo, who shot amazing portraits to highlight their cultures and frame. At the end of the event, Spain's 21-year-old Miguel Ángel Lucas won the top prize.
