Jane Dipika Garrett

With her jet-black hair, warm brown eyes, and a confident, natural 38–32–40 figure, Jane Dipika Garrett cuts a distinctive figure in the world of beauty pageants. At 25, the Nepalese beauty pageant contestant from Kathmandu, Nepal, made history as the first plus-size contestant to compete in an international beauty pageant, representing her country at Miss Universe 2023.

Before stepping onto the pageant stage, Jane trained as a nurse and worked as a business developer, balancing a career in healthcare and entrepreneurship. Her journey into modeling and pageantry came later, sparked by her growing involvement in the body positivity movement.

Jane's advocacy is deeply personal. She has polycystic ovarian syndrome, a condition that contributed to her weight struggles. Today, she champions women facing similar challenges, addressing both the physical and mental health aspects of the condition. Her work and visibility have earned her a substantial following, with 500k followers on Instagram, where she continues to promote self-acceptance and representation.
