Spread the love



A new Miss Universe was crowned at the recently concluded Miss Universe 2010 beauty pageant. She is Jimena Navarrete of Mexico, who beat the 83 other contestants and went home with the crown. She was the leading favorite of fans on the voting medium, as she had almost the entire nation of Mexico voting for her. The new queen was crowned in Las Vegas, Nevada. The choice was difficult, but what helped her win the title was her evening gown, a gorgeous looking outfit that screamed sexy but classy. Nigeria was represented at this year’s edition by the MBGN Miss Universe, Ngozi Odalonu. Though she put in her best at the competition, she didn’t make it to the top 10.Based on the comments of fashion and beauty experts who followed the competition from the beginning to the end, there were quite a number of things that worked against her. Though she had the looks, her voting score was really very low; she was at the bottom of the poll. This is because unlike the other countries that the citizens were so fanatical about voting and went all out to vote for their queens at the pageant using twitter, facebook and other popular network sites, a lot of Nigerians didn’t really vote. Apart from the voting, another thing that was also worked against her was her traditional outfit, which a lot of people believed was far below expectation. The traditional outfit didn’t bring out her shape as well as the very rich culture of Niger Delta/Ibo which she was trying to portray. The sleeve of the blouse was too wide to be chic, while the headgear was not that artistic and lacked professional touch and she could have done without the yellow headgear. Her blue evening gown was also not too glamorous, or something that would have made her stands out amongst others. Even though she’s got the beauty and a lovely figure, which was well brought out in her swimsuit segment, all these other aspects were against her. However, this year’s edition of the Miss Universe beauty pageant really lived up to expectation. The stage was full of beautiful women and the evening had memorable moments that will linger on in the mind of those witnessed the occasion for a long time.
