This time the months of November and October created a roar in the form of all Big5 international pageants happening. The pageant lovers could not have demanded more action than this. With all the pageants’ finale nights happening within a short gap, the fans were in for a beauty treat.

All the winning queens of the Big5 came and conquered the stage of their respective pageants. They had the win in their clutches from the word go. They were unstoppable forces of nature in the competition. Of course, every girl had her own character to contribute to the race and that made her stand out from the rest. Let’s see what made these girls win the competition.

Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters Miss Universe 2017

Probably the most anticipated contestant of this year’s Miss Universe competition, Demi-Leigh’s strong will and hard work was not a hidden sight from the start. Her background story as a survivor of hijacking incident was emotional and heart-touchingly inspiring for many. She brought the glory for South Africa after a long wait of 39 years.

Manushi Chhillar Miss World 2017

This young lady was a force that was unstoppable in Miss World 2017 pageant from the beginning. She knew exactly what to do and how to do it in the competition. Manushi won hearts with her charming smile, a smile that lights up your day. Her project ‘Shakti’ that deals with menstrual hygiene in women was the core reason that she stood out. And of course, her final answer on Miss World 2017 stage where talked about affinity towards mother all over the world did it for her.

Karen Ibasco Miss Earth 2017

People were always apprehensive about this Filipina queen. But she let her actions speak for her. The reigning Miss Earth 2017, her confidence spoke volumes in the competition. She climbed her steps slowly but steadily. As a scientist, she tries to reason out the growth of environment protection through science and technique.

Kevin Lilliana Miss International 2017

Kevin was just flawless in all the rounds of the competition and came across as a breath of fresh air with her poise and loveliness. She won the Best Dresser award in the competition but what’s worth noting is this queen believes in simplicity and most of the time she is found with almost no make-up. Maybe her simplicity is what worked for her, and of course, her cuteness quotient has no boundaries.

María José Lora Miss Grand International 2017

This independent businesswoman aim was clear from the start, win the title of Miss Grand International 2017. Standing at a prominent height of 180 cm, it was not possible to ignore this queen. Owning a modelling agency herself, she knew how to talk, walk and present herself very well. A multi-lingual beauty, she can speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese easily. But her personality always reflects her as a traditionally rooted person in life and that was always an admirable quality in her.
