With the much-anticipated 71st Miss Universe pageant dawning near, the stunning beauty queens who are competing for the crown have graced the airports as they flew in style to register for the pageant in New Orleans.

In case you missed it, the Philippines' bet Celeste Cortesi sizzled at the Los Angeles International Airport in her red patent coat, thigh high boots, and black cat eye sunglasses, proving that she's not to be messed with in her bid to bring home the coveted crown.

But it looks like it's going to be a tough competition as other Miss Universe candidates also showcased how fabulous and determined they were in their arrival to the US.

Jamaica's bet Toshami Calvin was all smiles as she wore a lime green top and high-waisted cutout jeans while proudly brandishing her country's flag and her glittering crown.

Italy's representative and Cortesi's rumored roommate Virginia Stablum also showed that she is more than ready to conquer the universe as she waved her country's flag in her stylish nude wrap jacket and pants. "Let the journey begin! I’m ready to shine. New Orleans, I’m coming," she captioned in her post.

Miss Universe Nepal 2022 Sophiya Bhujel is also set to capture hearts at the pageant as she posed with her luggage while wearing an all-black ensemble, capped off by her shining crown and her country's flag. "As I embark my journey towards the Universe, I have so much of gratitude in my heart and trust in the Universe," she wrote in her post.

Here are the other fabulous queens who are headed to and have arrived at New Orleans:
