MISS UNIVERSE 2015 TOP 40 BEST IN NATIONAL COSTUMES

The 64th Miss Universe 2015 which took place last December 20, 2015 at the Axis Theater of the Planet Hollywood Resorts and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA made headlines around the world for the wrong announcement of winners and awkward crowning moment of Miss Universe 2015 Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines. 

I am so sorry for this late article because I was not able to view all of the contestant's national costumes that very represent the culture and tradition of their native homeland not until very recently when these photos were posted online as there is no national costume presentation show this year just like they did in 2012 because they just pre-taped this segment of the contestants wearing their native dresses for the final's night opening introduction. 


Nevertheless, I have seen all of the contestants national costume in photos so here I came with my list of 40 Best in National Costume in the Miss Universe 2015:

1. Indonesia - Anindya Kusuma Putri 

2. Argentina - Claudia Barrionuevo 

3. Thailand - Aniporn Chalermburanawong

5. Myanmar - May Barani Thaw 

6. India - Urvashi Rautela 

7. Curacao - Kanisha Sluis 

8. Panama - Gladys Brandao Amaya 

9. Venezuela - Mariana Jimenez 

10. Canada - Paola Nuñez 

11. Spain - Carla Garcia Barber 

12. Mexico - Wendolly Esparza 

13. Great Britain - Nena France

14. Nicaragua - Daniela Torres 

15. Guatemala - Jeimmy Aburto

DRAMA UNFOLDS As Philippines' Pia Wurtzbach Is Crowned Miss Universe 2015!

Las Vegas, Nevada - In a glamorous night where there is a drama of highs and lows, the visibly shocked 26-year-old half-German, half-Filipino model, actress, tv personality and journalist Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines was crowned Miss Universe 2015 by outgoing Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega of Colombia held at the AXIS Theater of the Planet Hollywood Resorts and Casino. The Cagayan de Oro City (which literally means "river of gold") native bested 79 other gorgeous contestants to win the coveted 64th Miss Universe title. This the third time the Philippines won the Miss Universe crown after they won it in 1969 and 1973.

Few minutes earlier into somewhat the most awkward crowning moment in the history of the pageant, host Steve Harvey mistakenly announced Colombia's Ariadna Guttierez as the winner but in fact she was the 1st runner-up. 2nd runner-up is USA's Olivia Jordan. The remaining Top 5 finalists were Australia's Monika Radulovic and France Flora Coquerel. This is also the first time Miss Universe is under its new owner WME/IMG Inc.  

Also earlier in the night there's a fitting tribute to Miss Slovenia Ana Haložan who has to withdrew from the competition after suffering an injury upon her arrival in Las Vegas.

Another milestone took place in Miss Universe history this year. Two editions of Miss Universe took place this year. First, 63rd Miss Universe 2014 took place last January 25 with Paulina Vega of Colombia winning the crown and this 64th Miss Universe 2015 took place last night December with Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines winning the coveted DIC Crown.
