Miss Universe 2018: the candidates have started arriving in Thailand!

As beauties from 95 countries, a record number for Miss Universe, start arriving in Thailand for the competition, fans start going crazy in all types of social media platforms! Based on the first photos we´ve collected and inside hot information received from Thailand, at this point Philippines and South Africa are, by far, the two “perfect 10,0s” fighting for the crown.

Philippines comes from a 4th place in Miss World 2016, which caused much anger among Filipino fans. She has a lot of pressure on her shoulders to prove that she deserves to win a major Grand Slam title. On the other hand, South Africa could have MU´s 2nd back-to-back victory (first it happened to Venezuela in 2008/09) in times when the pageant is trying to prove that they are looking for much more than just a pretty face. Miss South Africa is a doctor and clearly a “woman of substance”.

Let´s also not forget that the eyes of the world are on Spain, the first transgender woman to compete in a Grand Slam pageant. She is looking amazing and we wonder: how far can she go???

We also absolutely love Lebanon´s natural beauty and Vietnam very avant garde look. Eye on Puerto Rico, which has a new organization and a fantastic competitor who promises to make her Caribbean island proud.

India looks amazing in these first shots, Cayman Islands is a pleasant surprise.

Sri Lanka has not only some great pageant experience, but also some great Grand Slam results: Top 10 in MIss Grand International 2015 and 4th place in Miss Supranational 2016. We absolutely ADORE her and believe she can pull it again here!
