ANOTHER PRESTIGIOUS PAGEANT WILL CANCELLED??? MISS UNIVERSE 2020 WILL TAKE PLACE IN 2021???
Carlos C. Fernandez, a representative of the Miss Universe Organization, has informed the pageant´s national license holders that the next edition of the Miss Universe pageant won't happen earlier than the first quarter of 2021. It is not the first time that the Miss Universe pageant has been postponed, remember that the 2016 edition, was held on 30 January 2017 (at the Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay City, Metro Manila).
I'm hopeful that the event can be held in March or April next year. The uncertainty created by the coronavirus pandemic is cited as the reason for the postponement.
More details will follow in the upcoming months !⠀ ⠀ If this news is confirmed, only Miss Earth in BIG 5 Pageant will push through this year via Virtual Competition! ⠀ ⠀ What are your thoughts?
Miss Universe 2020 will be the 69th Miss Universe pageant. Zozibini Tunzi of South Africa will crown her successor at the end of the event. The event will be held in the middle of 2021 instead of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic announced by the MUO
This is not the first time in the entire history of the competition that the pageant is delayed so long. The 2016 edition was delayed and was held on 30 January 2017!
Perhaps Zozibini Tunzi has the longest reign in Miss Universe History!

´・ω・` Due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, some international pageants were postponed or canceled altogether ´・ω・`
2020 has been a tragic year that has affected billions of people around the world. These are certainly unprecedented times for the entire world. Many individuals have lost their jobs or become ill. Daily life has changed significantly as the World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control has advised against large gatherings. It's natural to feel out of control and worried over what's happening.
Pageantry is one of the many industry being hit by COVID-19 as our industry centers greatly on live events. This means you as a contestant may not be able to compete because your director has had to postpone or cancel this year's pageant. Your competition may look totally different than you had imagined if your pageant is now virtual. We feel for you and want to provide as many resources as possible in this time of chaos.
Miss World and Miss International pageants have been officially canceled. Given the high contagiousness of the disease and the epidemiology of COVID-19, this decision was appropriate and important in order to safeguard beauty queens and the public.
For the first time in history, Miss Earth crowned their new titleholders with a virtual coronation night on November 29, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Miss Supranational and Miss Grand Intl. have been postponed and their respective directors have not said anything. There is also no official information from WME/IMG talent agency, but the selection of national queens continues in their respective countries. Around 47 delegates have been selected because Miss Universe continues to be the largest pageant in the world in terms of live TV coverage, airing yearly in more than 190 countries worldwide to an audience of over 500 million people.
Our great hope is that Pfizer vaccines will be distributed soon and the pandemic can be controlled.

´・ω・` Tim Tebow's wedding to Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters was a dream. ´・ω・`
The couple exchanged vows on last January 20, 2020, right as the sun was setting in the bride's home country of South Africa. The nuptials took place close to a year after Tebow popped the question in his native Florida, where the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner was a sensation during his tenure as quarterback for the University of Florida. While the distance between the two locations couldn't have been farther apart, the couple fatefully met in 2018 at a charity event.
Miss Universe Vietnam 2019 (Hoa hau Hoan vu Viet Nam 2019), the 4th edition of Miss Universe Vietnam, hosted its grand coronation night on 7th December 2019 where forty-four delegates competed for the national crown and the opportunity to represent Vietnam in Miss Universe 2020.
At the end of the event finale, Nguyen Tran Khanh Van was crowned the new queen by Miss Universe Vietnam 2018 H’Hen Nie.
´・ω・` 4th Edition of Miss Universe Vietnam ´・ω・`
From Ho Chi Minh city, Nguyen Tran Khanh Van competed with sincerity and elegance at the national contest. Standing 5 ft. 9 in. tall (1,75 cm), she was the epitome of grace and knew what she was doing as she won the crown defeating so many beautiful divas.
Not new to the pageantry, Van first participated in Miss Vietnam 2014 where she placed in the Top 40. Then, she went on to participate in Miss Universe Vietnam 2015 but was only able to make it to the Top 10.

Top 44 contestants (one contestant withdrew before the preliminary competition) then moved on to participate in the preliminary competition on 3rd December and the finale on 7th December.
The fifteen contestants who moved forward as the finale night began included Kieu Thi Thuy Hang, Luong Y Nhu, Pham Thi Anh Thu, Le Thu Trang, Nguyen Diana, Nguyen Huynh Kim Duyen, Pham Hong Thuy Van, Le Hoang Phuong, Lam Thi Bich Tuyen, Nguyen Thi Huong Ly, Vu Thi Hoa Lien, Vu Quynh Trang, Nguyen Dang Tuong Linh, Dao Thi Ha and Nguyen Tran Khanh Van.

´・ω・` Miss Belgium 2020 was the 52nd edition of the Miss Belgium pageant, held on January 11, 2020 at the Plopsaland Theater in De Panne, Belgium. Elena Castro Suarez of Antwerp crowned her successor Céline Van Ouytsel of Antwerp at end of the event. ´・ω・`
´・ω・` For the first time since 2013, the election was live streamed on the RTL Play1 platform. ´・ω・` The pageant featured 32 candidates, while there were only 30 during the five previous elections. During the evening gown competition part of the coronation night, Céline Van Ouytsel tripped on the hem of her dress causing her to fall on stage and even lost a bra which was inadvertently stuck in her long puffy sleeves. The fallen bra remained in the middle of the stage for a few minutes, and it was fully visible to the camera as the next contestant walked onstage. It was also reported that some finalists nearly fell in the stage during the swimsuit competition.
