GALLERY: Meet the 70th Miss Universe delegates
The partial list of Miss Universe 2021 candidates is out.
The Miss Universe Organization (MUO) has officially opened the online voting for the competition, and the names and headshots of the delegates joining the 70th Miss Universe have been released, with some countries yet to name their representatives.
Beginning in late November, delegates from countries worldwide will be greeted to the southern resort city, which is surrounded by the stunning Negev desert and the Red Sea in Eliat, Israel.
After the pandemic-affected Miss Universe 2020 chose past Miss Universe queens and Mario Lopez as hosts in May, renowned entertainer Steve Harvey will be returning as the pageant's host.
Women from all around the world will compete in a variety of categories, including personal statement, swimwear, evening gown, and question and answer portion, over the course of three hours, with Mexico's Andrea Meza handing over the crown to the winner.
Israeli pop artist Noa Kirel, who is contracted to Atlantic Records in the United States and has released a new track called Bad Little Thing, is set to perform at Miss Universe.
The Miss Universe pageant this year puts emphasis on climate change, and several other social and global concerns that participants and their nations encounter.
