... and a beauty pageant contestant requested "___." (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

miss world

(Other definitions for miss world that I've seen before include "which recluses don't seem to do?" , "greatest beauty" , "Winning girl" , "Celestial body" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
