This story is in the Book of Esther, which says that King Xerxes chose Esther from all the most beautiful virgins in the empire, after he divorced his first wife, Vashti.
However, there is no historical record of either Vashti or Esther, and Queen Amestris is accepted by historians as Xerxes' only wife for the first several years of his reign. From a historical perspective, this beauty contest did not really happen.
