More from Miss Universe 2009 – African Queens in National Costume & Evening Gown Presentations

abeg, why is egypt still here? lol
but anyway im loving them all besides namibia.
and i love miss Zambia’s shoes! muah! lol
thanks bella for keeping us updated on the event.

it is really cool. but what happened to the giant pictures, like you used to have on blogspot? Giant pictures.

Miss Nigeria’s traditional outfit….less is more no?

miss angola’s smile can light up the moon. best traditional outfit goes goes to nigeria, angola, and SOUTH AFRICA! momo couture did a fabulous job with sandra’s outfit.

Sorry,y’all.That would be Miss Zambia’s national.Looove it.

Not loving Miss Nigeria’s evening gown!

As usual Venezuela takes the crown…i am starting to think the thing is rigged.

Ify, I say triple “tufiakwa” to Miss Nigeria’s evening dress. It matters not what angle the picture was taken from, that dress is hideous. I know that as Nigerians we love the colors of our flag, green and white. However, not everything has to be a literal/direct interpretation/translation of the colors. I only liked the gele and the beads and I think Sandra looked stunning. That dress however was a major disaster!!!! At best, she looked like a fattened thanksgiving turkey in it.

oh please! most of north africa dont want to be considered africa anyway.
why are we insulting them by including them here?
egypt is geographically africa but they dont want to see themselves as africans (most of them).
egypt should not be here, period.
i heard that egypt has a lot of dark skinned and brown skinned people. well foolish me didnt know that because all ive ever seen of egyptians were the tan ones or the white looking ones.
not once have i seen a Miss Egypt look black.
hmmm whats wrong with that country?

I totally agree with you. I’ve seen better.

Okay, my comment comes almost a year late since… Venezuela won (as usual, big whoop!)

let’s see what we’ve got here…

Angola – that evening gown looks like a maternity dress.
Egypt – love the national costume, not so sure ’bout the gown
Ethiopia – that national costume could pass as an evening gown
Ghana – I’m sorry homegirl, but that’s not a Ghanaian costume… I should know, I’m Ghanaian,, and nobody dresses like a Las Vegas Showgirl with kente highlights all over the place… you could get shot for that much exposure in the North! that gown would have been nice in another colour… or would have been nicer if avoided altogether!
Namibia – one of the fiercest dark-skinned contestants… have you seen her close-up shots? badabing!!
SA – rockin that national costume and (over-sized) evening gown like nobody’s business
Tanzania – Hate that blue gown. Dunno… Looks so cheap!
Zambia – love that national costume… but is that an evening gown?
Naija – somewhat like that national costume… looks regal. but the gown? wish you’d opted for something as simple as Agbani’s green winner (MW 2001).
