9. Irene Sáez –

The Miss Universe pageant, 1981 was definitely the year of blondes as all the semi-finalists were fair-haired beauties and Irene Sáez was the most beautiful face in the competition. She melted the tough judges with her elegance and charisma like the same way she did earlier that year in Miss Venezuela pageant. The 1981 was a Broadway show which took place in New York City and hence contestants had to rehearse twice as much as the previously help Miss Universe contests. The participants were forced to eat same cold food for 20 days, and when all were complaining about being drained and worn out, Miss Venezuela maintained her poise and never said a word about the tasteless food or the long tiring rehearsals. She was incredibly awesome that night and looked calm and composed throughout the competition.

Miss USA 1967, Sylvia Hitchcock was the fourth American beauty in less than 16 years to win the Miss Universe 1967 title. Brazil played the host for the 1967 Miss Universe pageant before the finals in Miami Beach. In 1960’s Brazilians were not fond of Americans due to political acrimony, but Sylvia was so amiable and warm with everybody that her nationality was left aside, and she quickly became popular and favourite among Brazilians despite Miss Brazil being her major competitor. More than 56 countries competed for the title that year, but the breathtaking exotic beauty Sylvia Hitchcock was undoubtedly better than the rest. Her amazingly beautiful brown eyes, glorious smile, sophistication, charm and sensibility made her a true Miss Universe of all time.

6. Nathalie Glebova –

It was a gala event in which 81 countries competed for the crown, but the title was bagged by the Russian Canadian beauty Queen Nathalie Glebova. For the swimsuit round she wore a white bikini in which she looked incredibly sexy and proved her point that she is in Bangkok to conquer the beauty pageant. Nathalie undeniably had that “it” factor in her which is an essential element present only in the one to beat. All the features on her face having a high proportionality; she has a perfect smile, intense eyes and flawless skin. It would not be wrong if I say she is an “extreme beauty”, and this is what makes her one of the most beautiful Miss Universe winner in the history of the pageant.

In the year 1990, Miss Universe pageant celebrated its 30th anniversary on television. It was the 39th edition of Miss Universe pageant which was organised in Los Angeles, USA after going through a lot of controversies, dripping media interest and lack of sponsors. Nothing brought the interest of the viewers back in the competition. However, Mona Grudt, Miss Norway was a breath of fresh air. Her raw good looks, elegance and intelligence thoroughly impressed the jury. She nailed all the three competitions especially the evening gown round in which her walk was splendid. In the last round all the three finalists had 20 seconds each to answer the same question: “If you were a judge tonight, who would you vote for to be the new Miss Universe and why?” to which Mona relied instantly, “I would choose Miss Finland because she is always in a good mood, cheering for everybody” and by giving an unrehearsed honest answer, Miss Norway Mona Grudt was crowned Miss Universe 1990.

4. Dayana Mendoza –

In 2008, Vietnam played the host of the beauty pageant in which remarkable 80 candidates participated, and it lasted for a month, being one of the largest in history. After 12 years since 1996 victory of Alicia Machado, a Venezuela beauty won the pageant; it’s a very long time for a country known for the magnificent beauty of its women. However, Dayana’s triumph was all worth it, she is the most sensational Miss Universe ever and performed all her Miss Universe duties phenomenally. Seeing this green eyed beauty in a yellow bikini, many jaws dropped and when she rocked the ramp in a gorgeous evening gown she became the real charismatic queen in the history of Miss Universe pageant.

Oxana was the most stunning and potential winner of the contest. She was the only Miss Universe to score a 9.88 in the swimsuit competition. Today, there exists only one Miss Universe winner who is decked up with a captivating charm and who is worthy to be called the “Goddess of beauty”. Everybody has a right to look alluring, sensational and beautiful, but Oxana has abused this right to the extreme and now it doesn’t matter even if she was dethroned; she will remain one of the most beautiful Miss Universe winners of all time.
