In the world of pageantry, where beauty and grace meet purpose, Sarah Ong’s rise to prominence stands out. The beauty queen and advocate began her journey with a vision far bigger than any crown or sash. For Sarah, pageantry was always about more than appearances. It became a powerful platform to advocate for vulnerable groups, empower the next generation of women and girls, and promote social justice.
A Humble Beginning and Stepping into the Spotlight
Sarah's pageant journey began in 2021 when she entered the Miss Worldwide International Pageant (MWIP) as the Miss Worldwide International Australia Teen Ambassador. It wasn’t just her striking looks that made her stand out; it was her heart and determination to make a difference that truly caught the attention of the Miss Worldwide International Pageant. From the very beginning, Sarah knew she wanted to use her newfound platform to raise awareness for women’s rights, gender equality, and the plight of abused children and children with special needs.
“The most rewarding part of my journey has been the ability to help and raise awareness for those who are often forgotten,” Sarah reflects. “I believe in putting words into action and advocating for causes that need a voice.”
From Teen Ambassador to Australia’s Leading Beauty Queen
In 2022, Sarah’s journey took a significant turn when she was crowned Miss Worldwide International Australia Ambassador. What truly set her apart, though, was her unique position within the pageant world. In 2025, she made history as the first and only beauty queen from Australia to be awarded the Miss Worldwide International Ambassador title, not through competition, but through direct selection by the Miss Worldwide International Pageant. This rare distinction marked Sarah as a pioneering figure in pageantry.

Sarah’s advocacy efforts grew from there. She expanded her outreach to raise awareness for abused children and those living with special needs, all while continuing her duties as a beauty queen. She remained determined to leave a lasting impact through her actions.
A Historic Win: Ms Universe Australasia 2025
In 2024, Sarah achieved another remarkable milestone by becoming the first and only Ms Universe Australasia delegate in the history of Mrs Universe Ltd. The Mrs Universe competition, one of the most prestigious pageants for married, divorced, and widowed women, recognized Sarah for her leadership, compassion, and advocacy work. This achievement added another layer to her already impactful pageant career, solidifying her status as a figure who’s much more than just a beauty queen.
“I’m truly honored to represent Australasia in Mrs Universe Ltd,” Sarah says. “It’s a pageant that celebrates strong, empowered women, and I’m proud to stand among them.”
The Miss Worldwide International Ambassador Title: A Crowning Achievement
In 2025, Sarah returned to the Miss Worldwide International Pageant, where she was awarded the prestigious Miss Worldwide International Ambassador title. Not only did this solidify her reputation as one of the most impactful beauty queens globally, but it also made history again, as Sarah became the first beauty queen ambassador representing Australia to be awarded an at-large international title.
“It’s surreal to know that my journey has led me here, but I’m even more humbled by the opportunity to serve as an ambassador for the causes I care deeply about,” Sarah shares. “Being a leader is about putting words into action, and this title allows me to do just that.”
In addition to this achievement, Sarah is also the first person in history to be awarded the MWIP Aphrodite & Psyche title by the Miss Worldwide International Pageant. This honor was granted in recognition of her Instagram blog, Aphrodite & Psyche, which reflects her core message: true beauty comes from within. Aphrodite, known as the Greek Goddess of Love & Beauty, represents outer beauty, while Psyche, the Goddess of the Soul, symbolizes inner beauty, selflessness, and perseverance. Through her social media blog, Sarah has made it her mission to convey that beauty isn't just skin deep, but is defined by one’s actions, values, and heart.
A Leader Who Inspires Change
What makes Sarah truly unique in the competitive world of pageantry is her belief in leadership through action. Her titles are not just about beauty; they are about using her platform to empower others. Whether it's raising awareness for gender equality or advocating for children in need, Sarah’s advocacy work remains the core of her mission.

“I hope my story serves as an inspiration to young girls and women,” she says. “Success comes from within, and it’s our actions that define us. True beauty is about making a positive impact in society.”
In addition to her advocacy, Sarah is a proud UN Women Australia member and serves as a Patron of Champions for Champions, an organization dedicated to supporting individuals with special needs.
