15th Place

Viva Venezuela! Second runner-up in 1994, Minorka did very well here too. She was the 14th runner-up and second most voted in her country, the world's major beauty queens producer.

14th Place
Miss Italy 1994
Ariana David

Molto bene! Ariana was a nice surprise from Italy. Many people expected Miss Italy 97 to be here , but she was the only Italian to make it.
A semi-finalist in 1994, she is one of only two non-winners or finalists to make part of this special group.

13th Place
Miss Namibia and Miss Universe 1992
Michelle McLean

Michelle was an easy pick. Everywhere she goes, people fall in love with her. She is not only beautiful, but also has a big heart. She is Namibia's greatest pride and celebrity ever.

12th Place
Miss Spain 1985
Teresa Sanchez

Ole Espana! It is great to see Teresa placed so highly! Even today, many people cannot understand why she was not the one to be chosen as Miss Universe 85. Well, here she is, once again proving to be one of the best.

11th Place
Miss Holland and Miss Universe 1989
Angela Visser

From the land of windmills and tulips, here is Angela Visser, the most beautiful Miss Universe to come from Europe in the past 18 years. Angela is known by us not only by her stunning looks, but also as a great commentator for the pageant.

10th Place
Miss Mexico and Miss Universe 1991

9th Place
Miss Zaire 1985
Benita Mureka
If Benita competed in Miss Universe this year, she would no longer be Miss Zaire, but Miss Dem. Rep. of Congo.
Charming and beautiful, she was selected by you as MISS AFRICA, and the most beautiful contestant from the 80s. Tres bien!

8th Place
Miss USA and Miss Universe 1995
Chelsy Smith
Way to go Chelsy! When Miss Texas won Miss USA 95, many people predicted her victory in Namibia later on. She won indeed. Among so many beautiful women from North America, she was chosen by you as the most beautiful in this region.

7th Place
Miss USSR 1991
Yulia Lemigova

In 1991 Communism was already history. Luckily for us the "iron curtain" was open, and behind it was Yulia, a potential Miss Universe, selected by you as MISS EUROPE. She deserves it!

6th Place
Miss Brazil 1993
Leila Schuster
Bate, bate o tambor... From the heart of the Brazilian Pampas, capital of the MERCOSUL, Porto Alegre, cames Leila Schuster. Absolutely sexy and elegant, she was Brazil's hope for a third Miss Universe crown. In 1993, she was only a semi-finalist. Among the non-winners and finalists, she was, by far, the most voted contestant. Valeu Leila!

5th Place
Miss Venezuela and Universe 1996
Alicia Machado

Venezuela, Venezuela...One of the most controversial Miss Universes ever, Alicia is hated but some, but loved by millions. To prove this point, here she is, among our top 5. What is next Senorita Machado?

4th Place
Miss Australia 1993
Voni Delfos
What can I say? Voni is a goddess! She probably has the most perfect body, one of the most beautiful faces, and the sexiest voice. And she's a pilot! Do I need to say that she was the one chosen by you as MISS OCEANIA?
I am going Down Under...

3rd Place
Miss Colombia 1994
Carolina Gomez Correa

Carolina is a proof that Colombia has so many beautiful and positive things to offer to the world. Maybe if she had competed one year earlier or later for the Miss Universe crown, she would have won. She was the most voted in South America, and after being first runner up
in Michael's contest, she made it to the top again.
Te adoramos Carolina!

2nd Place
Miss Curaçao 1997
Verna Vasquez
A small island in the Caribbean, Curaçao has the most beautiful woman in the Americas and the second in the world in 18 years! Verna is MISS AMERICAS and was very close to win it all. Congratulations to her and to her country once again!

 And the most beautiful among the beautiful is...

1st Place
Miss India and Universe 1994
Sushimita Sen

Here she is, your winner!!! It was not easy, but Sushimita made her way to the top. She was voted as number one in the world and Asia (MISS ASIA) by people from all corners of the Universe, and now can be considered to be the Queen of the Queens, some kind of a SUPER MISS UNIVERSE.
We congratulate Sushimita and India for such an accomplishment!
