Personal life

Dagi was born in Makhachkala, Dagestan in the North Caucasus of Russia. Following the death of her father, the family immigrated to Austria in 2003, settling in Bludenz. They later received Austrian citizenship and changed their surname to Dagi, due to the often misspellings and mispronunciations of their original surname; taking the name Dagi was meant to honor their homeland of Dagestan.[3] Dagi worked at Zusammen:Österreich prior to becoming Miss Austria, and graduated from BG Bludenz. She became Miss Vorarlberg and won Miss Austria in 2012.

On March 30, 2012, Amina was crowned Miss Austria 2012 at the Casino Baden while representing Vorarlberg. She competed at the Miss World 2012 pageant in China, and did not place in the semi-finals.[4]

On October 15, 2015, Miss Universe Austria 2015 Annika Grill was replaced by Dagi after Grill announced that she could not compete at the Miss Universe 2015 pageant due to being the Austrian representative for Miss World 2015. She competed at the Miss Universe 2015 pageant in Las Vegas on December 20, 2015.
