Nosheen Idrees is the 22 year old in 2008 from Jhelum, Pakistan who represented Pakistan in the Miss Earth pageant. Nosheen was crowned the third runner up for the Miss Pakistan World[1] pageant on the 23rd of May 2008.
A student of communications at the University of Sheffield, Nosheen hopes to bring back a title that can put Pakistan as a country that has the most beautiful women in the world. In her own words, Nosheen[2] says, "Pakistan is a country where the most beautiful women exist and it's a shame that it's not recognized for it." Nosheen is set to change the perception of how the world looks at Pakistan and hopefully she says that she may be able to spread the message of peace for her country and be a great ambassador for the youth.
