What I love about Maria Selena is her unique Asian beauty. She reminds me of Artika Sari Devi, Miss Indonesia 2005 who is the sole placer of her country in Miss Universe. Standing at 5'9 1/2, this girl is very statuesque and charming. She is one of Asia's top contestants together with Thailand and the Philippines. If she gets the right styling, make-up and a toned body, this girl will set the stage on fire! Although her country does not perform well in Miss Universe, Selena needs to free and liberate herself from all the inhibitions and barriers so she can thrive. If she manages to get in the Top 16, I'm pretty sure she can go far.
Sometimes, she looks odd in pictures. But sometimes she looks like a Goddess. Delphine is not the typical Miss France we see in Miss Universe. Her red hair will definitely make her a stand out. Aside from that, this tall French beauty has a very warm and sincere smile that is so Miss Universe. I am confident enough to say that she will continue France's 4 year streak and can surprise everyone come December. Her body frame which is very similar to Kelly Weekers' is not that appealing, although she can compensate for it by having vivacious presentation skills. Remember, you can go far in this pageant if the judges and the crowd love you so don't forget to always smile and stay positive and energetic!
This girl from the Caribbean is undoubtedly pretty. Actually, she is the best representative from her island to Miss Universe. After years of persistence, Cayman might get its very first placement through this girl. She looks commercial and lovely which is what Miss Universe is looking for these days. Add to that is her banging body which is one of her assets. Although having a great body is not an assurance to go far in the competition, there is still room for improvement so she can polish her walk and presentation. After all, Miss Universe is a pageant full of surprises, so I will not be shocked if she actually goes straight to the top 5 if ever she will be called in the semis.
Let's admit it, this girl is no Laura Elizondo or Ximena Navarrete. She isn't as pretty as Karin Ontiveros or as feisty as Elisa Najera. But she can look fierce given the right make-up and styling! Seeing some professional photos of her, I see a Miss Universe calibre contestant. Although a proportionate body is expected from a Mexican like her, I hope that the odds will be in her favor come December. It's hard to stand out in a sea of gorgeous and diverse women. If she works hard, she has a high chance of winning but is she doesn't, expect another Karla Carillo.
I am not a fan of this girl since she joined Binibini last 2011. She did not shine last April. She isn't what we expected to succeed Shamcey. But we really have to move on and focus our attention on her preparations. Many say that is facially an upgrade from her last two predecessors. Facially, her substandard exotic beauty can pass the semis but her body is really her big downfall. If she gets slimmer come December, she can surely rock considering Stella's new tactics in training her girls. Her communication skills is still average although her quotes can save her. I still wish her the best of luck.
This is one of those rare photos where she actually looked her age. Her main problem arises when she constantly looks 30 years older in her pictures. Her candids do not do her justice because of poor styling, make up and choice of wardrobe. I know this girl is a performer but in Miss Universe, you need to impress the judges by looking young, beautiful and vibrant without even exerting an effort to look like one. This is not Mrs. Universe. But I'm still sure that Canada is back on track with this girl.
She was a dark horse when she won Miss USA. Well, she can also be a dark horse in Miss Universe! Her biggest weapon is her mighty ribbon. After that, she can kill interviews with her eloquence, walk the ramp with her vavavoom body and impress the judges with her soft and angelic beauty. Although her height can be her downfall, how come she knocked out tall glamazons in Miss USA? Well, there is still a chance of clapping but for now, she is sealed in my list.
She is facially a demi-goddess. She is the kind of contestant that Trump will easily like. Usually, Europeans only last in the Top 16 or Top 10 but she can actually make an Anna Poslavska move! The girl is definitely a threat to other Europeans. She got sass in her pocket and if others will just play it safe, this girl can take the crown!
I am very enticed on how this girl can magically transform into a ferocious Goddess. She is definitely a chameleon. She has the spirit of royalty and elegance that Gona Dragusha and Zana Krasniqi had only in a softer way. I wouldn't actually be surprised if she advances to the Top 5 given the robbery done to her predecessor last year in Brazil. When it comes to fierceness and beauty, Kosovo always gets it right.
I feel like she is the reincarnation of Yendi Phillips. Chantal is just another dimension. If Yendi was able to get as far as 1st runner up back in 2010, then this girl also has a chance! She is a fighter considering that she is a veteran in pageant. She already knows the do's and dont's. She already know how to project herself. If she utilizes her Caribbean charm and personality, she can even top Yendi's placement! I know this girl will make her country proud.
This 22 year old Latina is what Peru is waiting for. Standing at 6'0 ft, she can easily outshine other Latinas with her youthful charm, understated beauty and elegance. She is one of those underrated beauties that deserve recognition. When she gets the right styling and make up, she indeed looks like a Miss Universe. She also has an oozing sex appeal that will make the judges vote for her. Isn't it time for Peru to get another Miss Universe crown after 55 years?
Elizaveta is just a breath of fresh air. Although many were not that warm towards her when she won her national title, she slowly climbed up to everyone's lists as time progressed. She has a heavenly face a a soft and sweet beauty. Who knows? She could also clinch a Top 5 position like Vera Krasova did in 2008!
Now here is some real contender from the Land Down Under. Australia, who used to send sweet looking girls now sends a fierce contender. Renae is gorgeous! She is definitely what Miss Universe Organization is looking for! In some instances, she actually looks better than Jennifer Hawkins! This girl has the body, the face and the communication skills to rock the stage. I wouldn't even mind if Australia will have another queen in just a span of 8 years.
18 year-old Bodine Koehler from Puerto Rico who stands at 6'0 ft (anyone hearing an Amelia Vega?) is totally a bombshell. She is my sentimental favorite. She exudes a youthful aura and charming personality. And what do we expect from Puerto Ricans? Of course, a perfect body and a killer catwalk! Bodine has all that! I am confident enough that she will penetrate the Top 5 easily considering that she is an upgrade from Viviana Ortiz. What will be the last cent is the final question.
Irene is one of the best and most beautiful Miss Venezuela ever. Her face screams Goddess. Her body is absolutely gorgeous. Perhaps, what do we expect from Venezuela? Of course, lots and lots of Goddesses, and Irene is not an exception! Irene is indeed a force to be reckoned with. If she nails the final question, let's get ready for Venezuela's 7th Miss Universe crown!
This girl just screams perfection from head to toe. Croatia only placed once back in 2009, but who knows? She might be the second woman from her country to place and the first one to win! She is just beyond a Goddess. She is definitely what Miss Universe is looking for. She is divine! If ever she will win in December, I am telling you, she will be the best Miss Universe history! I hope her interpreter would not massacre her answer so she can be set for the Diamond Nexus Labs crown!
South Africa- Melinda is beautiful, don't get me wrong. But there is something in her that I do not like. I have a feeling she will place, but I don't think she will go far.
Japan- This girl has lots of charisma but you can't place in a prestigious contest with a single factor alone.
Ecuador- She is pretty but that's all. We have seen lots of pretty women that are so over hyped only to clap in the background.
Serbia- The girl is definitely beautiful. But I am not sure if she can give a performance as high-calibre as other. She might be eaten alive in a competition as fierce as Miss Universe.
Lithuania- The girl is hot as hell! If she is indeed confirmed to be participating, she can give other girls a run for their money.
I just can't find a good quality photo of hers!
