Fashion Show: Ukraine and Vietnam are the "queens of the runway" - 5/23


Yesterday the city of Guayaquil welcomed the 80 Miss Universe contestants parading during the annual Miss Universe fashion show, or the Gala Nacional de Moda. The delegates worked their steps and moves in the runway wearing original creations by local designers, including swimsuits and evening gowns.

One of the complaints by those attending the show was that the contestants did not wear their sashes until their very last presentation, which made it impossible for several of them to be recognized by the general public (year after year people have been complaining about it).

Miss Ecuador, Susana Rivadeneira, was the only candidate to wear a golden swimsuit. For obvious reasons the hometown girl was also the most applauded candidate of the night and the one who spent most time out in the runway. Others who received thunderous applause from the local crowd were Misses Colombia, Ukraine, Venezuela and Brazil.

A general consensus among attendees was that the queen of the night was Miss Ukraine, Oleksandra Nikolayenko. With her superb stage presence and sex appeal, the current leader of GB's Stock Exchange made a clear statement: she is here to win.

The second greatest performance of the night was that of Miss Vietnam, Hoang Thi Ngoc. The first ever Vietnamese beauty to participate in Miss Universe is a tall model who showed amazing intimacy with the runway. It felt like she was born to master it.

Venezuela's Ana Karina Anez was another hit in yesterday's event. She did amazingly well and exuded confidence in every step she took. At the same level and also confirming her favoritism was Miss USA, Shandi Finnessei, the favorite contestant of photographers and cameramen covering the fashion gala show.

Just like in previous years Miss Poland delivered one of the best performances in the fashion show. Her fans can only hope that she will do just as well when the time for the real competition comes, which usually does not happen. Another Eastern European who rocked with her incredible catwalk was Miss Russia, Ksenyia Kustova.

Paraguay, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Spain, Jamaica, Serbia & Montenegro, Egypt, Bahamas and Germany also stood out for their beauty and grace. Although not in their best night, Switzerland and Norway also proved that they can easily pull it when the actual competition arrives.

She is doing just fine hah ?

awesome !! ^_^

Miss China could have looked better...seen better chinese girls
i personally i think she should have less makeup (perhaps too white?)

Miss Korea is kind of cute...i've seen better korean girls though

Miss Japan very average...seen better

Miss Vietnam very average. seen better too

overall, they could all do better though none are extremely ugly...i think each of the above countries have better girls in their country...they should just select more carefully

Miss Hoang Ngoc is not the official representative of Vietnam. I read an article on VNexpress.net

Then who is the official representative of VN?

All I know is that the government ministry did not endorse her and they were very surprised that she is listed as the official representative.

But then how come she is competing in Ecuador now?

she dont' look very good la..

That's the question I was asking myself. Ah wells couldn't find it anymore.
