Who will Bring the Crown Home?! Presenting Our African Queens Representing at the 2013 Miss Universe Competition in Russia
Are they gorgeous?!
On Saturday 9th November 2013, the 2013 Miss Universe finale will take place at the Crocus City Hall, Moscow, Russia. One of 87 beauty queens around the world will “battle” for the crown and coveted title.
From the most cultural continent in the world – Africa, 9 delectable Miss Universe finalists will represent us. The number is short of 1 from last year, Namibia will not be participating.
Hosts of this 62nd edition haven’t been announced. Bravo TV creator Andy Cohen who is openly gay, is refusing to host this year because of Russia’s anti-gay policies, and there has been no word on if E! News/Fashion Police co-host Giuliana Rancic will return as host.
BellaNaija Beauty presents your official first look at our African beauty queens.
