My first ever Miss Universe pageant was filled with excitement, glamour, and a lot of Latin Flavor. The lines were long and the lobby was packed! I met so many wonderful people from around the world. From Nicaragua to Nigeria, everyone was so friendly, and I had many photo ops with my newfound friends!
So many were loving my wardrobe that was provided by Jill at Dazzles from Columbia, SC. The designer of my gown was Jovani. The color was reminiscent of the Miami Sunset and the bright colors of South Beach. Thank you so much Jill!❤️
The auditorium was filled to the brim. From my top 5 predictions, three of my picks made it to the top: Colombia, Jamaica, Ukraine! My favorites of the night were Jamaica and USA. Both were stunners in red hot gowns. They were my final two picks during finals! I'm obsessed over Nia's stunning Michael Costello gown. Nia truly lit up the room in evening gown! It was perfect! Kaci, Miss Jamaica, walk was poised and confident! She was a show stopper for sure!
Behind-The-Scenes...which you may not have seen on TV...Miss Puerto Rico appeared to have fainted and fell to the floor. She was escorted off stage during commercial break. Also, Miss Russia was apparently escorted off stage due to her thumbs down gesture. I am not surprised at the boos following Miss Jamaica's 4th RU placement, as she appeared to be a front runner. Majority of the girls appeared to gather around Miss Jamaica after the cameras quit rolling post-crowning. But, as quite often happens, in the pageant world, there is always a surprise in the end!
Congratulations to the new Miss Universe, Colombia, Paulina Vega. She is gorgeous, and the new crown complemented her very well.
Let the pageant season begin!
With love,
V❤️
