2013 Miss Universe Top 25 Best in Gown

The evening gown competition is one of the most important highlights in a beauty pageant

This is where poise, class, elegance and fashion flair are being judged

The choice of evening gown can also make or break one's chances especially that one can only do so much when wearing a headscratcher for a gown

Anyway, here are my favorites in the Evening Gown Competition round during the 2013 Miss Universe Presentation Show held at Crocus City Hall, Moscow, Russia yesterday

Here they are in alphabetical order:

Miss Philippines Sizzles In Her Swimsuit

Ariella Ara Arida didn't have to make any effort in her swimsuit presentation during last night's 2013 Miss Universe Preliminary Judging also known as the Presentation Show

Thunderous applause greeted her the moment she came out in a red- hot bikini during the Miss Universe Swimsuit Presentation

Here she is in all her splendor

And here is Ara Arida during the 2013 Bb Pilipinas Pageant where she also won the Best in Swimsuit Award

2013 Miss Universe Top 20 Best in Swimsuit

Last night, while we were sorting out and preparing the paperwork for this Saturday's Weekend Warrior activity in Sagbayan, Bohol which is to repair and help build four makeshift classrooms, the group of volunteers managed to watch the 2013 Miss Universe Presentation Show held at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow, Russia 

We saw all 86 contestants parade and sashay in their Yamamay Swimsuits which came in two colors; black and red. The girls had the option whether to wear one piece or two piece

Our very own Miss Philippines had one of the loudest cheers when she came out in her fiery red bikini

Here are my Top Twenty based on beauty, fitness, charm, confidence & overall presentation
