Beauty Contest

/ˈbjuːti ˈkɒn.tɛst/noun
ELI5 mode

A beauty contest is an event where participants, typically women, are judged primarily on their physical appearance, grace, and sometimes talent, often culminating in awards for the most attractive. In broader contexts, it metaphorically refers to any situation where decisions are based on superficial qualities rather than deeper merits, highlighting issues like bias in modern hiring or product evaluations.
