Watching the long gown competition of the Miss Earth
2012 Beauty Pageant takes one into a new high. The concept of the pageant being
held in an open space and gliding on a makeshift stage over a swimming pool
with synchronized swimming dancers leaping around is such a wonder. I am in
awe. I believe some of the candidates or their handlers took note of this.
Being in an open air auditorium and exposed to the windy weather, most of the
girls used gowns that would help them glide easily onstage with the help of the
wind.
1. Miss
Czech Republic wore a Greecian inspired gown, white in color and when she
walked the gown flowed with the wind and it is truly exhilarating and enthralling.
The choice of white with gold trimmings is simply superb. The simplicity of the
gown highlighted the beauty of Miss Czech Republic who clearly aced this part
of the competition. I would say she walked like a Goddess it’s as if I have
already seen a Goddess.
2. Miss
South Africa also wore a long flowing gown. The gown was in different shades of
blue and green. The color dampened Miss South Africa’s repartee despite a very
queenly demeanor in the evening gown presentation.
3. Miss
Philippines on the other hand used a cream colored gown embellished with appliqués.
The gown had a slit in front to for better movement. Miss Philippines carried
her gown with aplomb.
4. Miss
Russia used a golden gown with a long slit on the side. The gown however is not
made up of soft cloth materials instead they look stiff when she moved. She
seemed uneasy in her movement and thus this lowered her competitiveness. The
wind did not help her either as the gown did not flow with the wind.
5. Miss
Nepal used an apple green long flowing lace gown. She moved with ease and she
glided onstage with ease.
6. Miss
Venezuela used a red gown reminiscent of the gown of Stefania Fernandez when
she won in the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant. The highlights of the gown was
also very much like the winning gown of Miss World 2011 (Venezuela) that was
copied by winning Miss Earth 2011. Although the concept of the gown is
hodge-podge, Miss Venezuela projected herself with the gown. The problem of
gowns being seen to be similar with other gowns is that it becomes boring
unless the candidate is so extraordinary that the viewer forgets the gown and
remembers the candidate more. Unfortunately, Miss Venezuela’s presence was
overpowered by another’s presence that of Miss Czech Republic.
7. Miss
Brazil used an oft-cream colored gown which hugs her shapely outline. There is
a side slit to allow her more mobility. The gown seemed to be multi-beaded with
some corded lace cloth material. It was a well-made gown that she carried it
well.
8. Miss
USA’s fall might be because of her gown.
The bodice was good and it hugs her outline but the lower serpentine portion
showed folded clothes which interfere with her walking gracefully. It looks
heavy on her and thus, her downfall.
