Miss World 2016 Watchful Eyes' Pre-Arrival Favorites

It's Miss World season once again and weeks before the competition starts we noticed some stunners from around the globe who we expect to shine. One of the most glamorous beauty pageant in the world will take place on December 18. Another set of changes will take place this year. The Dances of the World segment will be replaced by a National Costume parade but no further confirmation yet if this will be a competition and if there's an award for Best In National Costume. 


Miss World 2016 finals will be held at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland, United States just south of Washington, D.C.. on December 18. More than a hundred contestants from all over the world will compete for the crystal-studded diamond and sapphire crown of Miss World 2016 touted as the world's most beautiful crown of any major international beauty pageant competitions. Mireia Lalaguna of Spain will crown her successor at the end of the event. So here goes are my personal pre-arrival picks or favorites for Miss World 2016.
