Miss Grand Iran 2017, Sonia Beytoushi

Iranian Kurdish fashion designer Sonia Beytoushi is the representative of Iran who will compete in Miss Grand International 2017 in Vietnam. Beytoushi says that she is not concerned about Islamic or cultural rules and will respect the event’s dress code.“Anyone participating in these kinds of events must also abide by its rules,” she said. “I will also do the same because there will be contestants from 125 countries and we may have to appear in swimsuits and bikinis and it is not for me to changes these rules,” Beytoushi said that she hasn’t got into trouble with the authorities in Iran who often crack down on activities they deem un-Islamic or prevent participation of women in certain events.
