Dark Horse candidates are those candidates about whom little is known but who unexpectedly wins or succeeds. In a series of features, lets know more about the Top 10 ‘Dark horse’ delegates of Miss Universe 2022.

Alexandrine Belle-Étoile, representing Mauritius, is all set to win the first ever placement for her country at Miss Universe. While Alexandrine was not in the limelight as she began her preparations in the competition, the stunning Mauritius beauty has arrived in New Orleans with her A game!

From rocking the MUBA cosmetics photoshoots to keeping her fashion game on point at the events being held, Alexandrine is also being called the ‘barbie’ of Miss Universe 2022 and we agree!
