At the age of 22, Garrett attracted the attention of the whole world by becoming the first representative of a large size in the history of the competition, breaking through barriers in an industry that is often defined by traditional beauty standards.Originally from Kathmandu, she excelled at the prestigious competition, which previously featured such famous winners as Olivia Culpo in 2012.
She represented her country at the Miss Universe Nepal pageant, becoming a fan favorite not only for her looks, but also for her unwavering support.
Garrett, a medical student by profession, carried with her a powerful message of inclusivity, promoting a positive attitude towards her body and raising awareness about hormonal health, PCOS and mental well-being.
Her holistic approach to beauty, which focused on content rather than style, was widely admired. Garrett’s participation marked not only her country’s presence on the world stage — it symbolized a shift in the beauty industry towards diversity.
