Miss Universe 2021 Pageant

And who else is fit to lead the way than the lovely Amanda Obdam of Thailand. The 27-year-old model has the international appeal and magnetic stage presence. She is marketable and relatable. Her academic background and good communication skills are definitely a plus specially now that Miss Universe is focusing more on the candidates’ speaking skills. With Amanda, we see Thailand finally penetrating the Miss Universe Final 3 or even winning the coveted Big5 crown.

Not far behind is the much-anticipated Andrea Meza of Mexico. The 26-year-old pageant veteran is ready to fight for another Top 3 finish for her country in Miss Universe. She has improved a lot from her Miss World 2017 stint where she finished 1st runner-up to Manushu Chhillar. Miss Universe is a huge deal in Mexico where the quest for their third crown is a relentless annual pursuit. Andrea is ready to put Mexico where it belongs which is on the top.

In third place is another familiar face in the pageant world. Romania’s Bianca Tirsin is back – but now, she will represent her country in the most prestigious beauty contest. She was a runner-up in both Miss Supranational and Miss International. With her angelic beauty, good communication skills, and overall lovely personality, it will be easy for Bianca to penetrate the Miss Universe semis.

Chile’s Daniela Nicolás is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty that has been impressing many pageant observers since the day she was crowned. Hopes are high that she will break Chile’s placement 16-year placement drought in Miss Universe. Her beauty has a universal appeal and we hope that her chances rests upon her inherent strength and not on the sash weight.

Rounding up the Top 5 for now is the glossy beauty of Vietnam’s Nguyễn Trần Khánh Vân. We believe she is the most prepared delegate so far, having won the crown a year ago. With Asian countries getting more and more exposure in the Miss Universe stage, don’t be surprised if she gives Vietnam its third consecutive placement.

Whenever Vietnam posts something on Instagram, she reminds me of Kazakhstan 2018’s pasarela, Ecuador 2018 when she did a turn during MU evening gown preliminaries, and Philippines 2019 when she chose a different dress and made her stood out for all the wrong reasons.
