During her brief visit in Toronto, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach shared her personal experience dealing with cyber bullies growing up and her thoughts on conventional beauty standards. Many young girls suffer from low self-esteem, negative body image and eating disorders because they are constantly bombarded with unrealistic conventional beauty standards by the media and fashion industries.

In her interview with Michelle Chermaine that started making rounds on the internet on International Women’s Day, Pia answers the question, “What advice would you have for a girl who feels she’s not conventionally beautiful?”

As a naturally stunning beauty who is genetically blessed to fit the fashion and pageant industries’ standards, she shared her thoughts on the subject of conventional beauty standards. “Nobody is ever conventionally beautiful because beauty is subjective.” Pia says.  “For one person, you could be the most beautiful woman, and then for another person, that other person could have a different perception of beauty altogether so you can’t please everybody.  Even in beauty pageants. Beauty pageants…there’s really…it’s a set of judges and judges are people and they have their different tastes. So, what I can say is, just embrace what you have. Work on what you have. Stand out. Be unique. Don’t be afraid and that’s when the true colors will come out.”
