Published by Day One Publishing, 2009 hardcover, large format, illustrated, 296 pages, condition; new.

A photographic book documenting 32 South African beauty queens. It explores the cultural phenomenon of pageantry in South Africa, highlighting the aspirations and diverse stories of contestants, capturing a unique aspect of social history. 

It features 296 pages of portraits and stories from various South African beauty pageant winners, often from the 14-year period before its publication.

 The book explores the "desire to become Somebody" through the lens of pageantry, reflecting on the intense social competition and aspirations of women within the South African context.

It serves as an archive of a specific era of beauty competitions, often featuring winners of major competitions like Miss South Africa, which has a long history dating back to 1956. 

The book Miss Beautiful provides a, now historical, look into a field that has since produced numerous international titleholders, including Miss World and Miss Universe winners, who have gone on to make significant impacts, such as Rolene Strauss, Zozibini Tunzi, and Demi-Leigh Nel-Peter
