My Favorite Miss Universe Winners (Last Ten Years)



1996- Alicia Machado, Venezuela

Alicia ignited one of beauty pageants biggest controversies --> weight problems. She was almost dethroned because she gained too much weight. Nevertheless, she is truly a very beautiful Miss Universe and the last Venezuelan to bag the title.


1997 - Brooke Lee, USA

This girl nailed her spot as Miss Universe when she established her connection to the audience through her smart answers. She beat Ms Sweden Victoria Lagerstrom during the interview by singing(she sang The Star Spangled Banner during the interview infront of the american audience) and to think Ms Sweden was the better singer hehehe...






2000 - Larra Dutta, INDIA

I consider her as the last true traditional miss universe. The one who has the beauty and personality who is truly a representative of a woman with a purpose. Our very own Nina Ricci Alagao could have given her a good fight if only she was given the chance to be in the top ten.




2001 - Denise Quinones, PUERTO RICO
OMG! This lovely girl snatched the crown from Ms Greece..hehehe . The last one to wear the traditional Miss Universe crown. A crowd favorite(obviously, the pageant was held in her home country!)


2002- Oxana Federova, RUSSIA

She is my favorite Miss Universe. Too bad she lost her crown. Noone can forget her stunning evening gown. She is the first ever winner to wear the 250000 dollar Mikimoto crown.




2003 - Amelia Vega, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
I just like her, thats all! ..nothing special..though i love her fadil berisha shots...





2004 - Jennifer Hawkins, AUSTRALIA

Second to Oxana, Jennifer is my second favorite Miss Universe. She is "The Thunder From Down Under", as coined by Billy Bush. Like Oxana, I never noticed her prior to the finals night.


2006 - Zuleyka Rivera, PUERTO RICOA woman who was determined to win from the very day she sat foot in Los Angeles.
