A beauty contest

A beauty contest, or beauty pageant, is a competition based mainly on the physical beauty of its contestants,

although such contests often incorporate personality, talent, and answers to judges' questions as judged criteria.

The phrase almost invariably refers only to contests for women; similar events for men are called by other names and are more likely to be "body building" contests. Winners of beauty contests are often called beauty queens.
