GALLERY: Miss Universe 2023 delegates flaunt their charisma in preliminary swimsuit competition
Miss Universe candidates set the stage ablaze showing off their confidence while also showing inclusivity during the pageant’s preliminary swimsuit competition.
The 72nd Miss Universe preliminary competition was live-streamed from El Salvador on Nov. 16. It was hosted by Salvadoran model Vanessa Velasquez and reigning Miss Universe queen R’Bonney Gabriel.
Over 80 delegates from around the globe showed off their looks and signature pasarelas wearing their metallic swimwear by Rubin Singer and heels by Jojo Bragais.
Among those who made a statement are Bahrain and first-timer Pakistan who wore cover-up dresses, Nepal who is the sole plus-sized candidate, and our very own Michelle Dee who rocked her short haircut wearing a sexy deep V, fiery red swimsuit.
Take a look at the candidates in their alluring swimsuits below:
