Miss Angola!!! Starting off as an underdog by the fans, I had a gut feeling that Miss Angola was going to celebrate gloriously on this 60th Anniversary of the 2011 Miss Universe Pageant. It wasn't only her beauty that captured my attention, but her poise, grace, hidden sass, and best of all her fashion picks for the night. She started as an underdog during the swimsuit competition according to t.v. fans/voters, however I didn't think so. Her choice of yellow allowed her dark skin to look even more vibrant in addition to her physique, poise, and confident strut.What started off as an underdog experience by voters landed her third by the actual judges. Next was the evening gown competition: Miss Angola's was to die for, hands down! Other contestants (Brazil and Costa Rica) came close, but Miss Angola's sweetheart neck, nude and silver mixed sequined gown stole my heart. The slit in the front added extra elegance, but best of all her strut topped it off. That landed her the number 1 spot, yet the night was still not over. The last competition we all braced ourselves for was the answer(s) to the judges' questions. Miss Philippines did the best in this category, but Miss Angola was right behind her in my opinion.
From beginning to end, Miss Angola was the best overall! What started off as an underdog experience landed her the crown as Miss Universe 2011. Congrats to Miss Angola and long lives Africa!
An insight to trends from the pageant that will become mainstream: nude heels, white gowns (formal events), and bright colors. White dresses were in for the summer, but it seems like they will continue throughout the year (especially for winter formal events). No more "white after labor day" myths for 2011after all. Wear whatever you want and own it! Who knows what 2012 will bring? Til next time!
