The Baffling Dethronements of 2002

2002 witnessed two dethronements of most prestigious pageants today. Both, Miss Universe 2002, Oxana Fedorova and Miss Earth 2002, Dzejla Glavovic lost their crown and title after few months of their reign. While Oxana resigned her title due to the fact that she primarily wanted to finish her studies, Miss Earth dethroned Dzejla Glavovic of not fulfilling her duties. While the fate of both the beauty queens were similar, it is surprising to note that even the facial features of both the beauty queens were quite identical.

Identical Order of Announcements

Surprising how it may seem, it is also kindling to witness that both in years, 2013 and 2014, Gabriella Isler, Miss Venezuela and Paulina Vega, Miss Colombia were called into the Top 5 final spot in the last order, and both of them walked home with the Miss Universe crown.

The Sister Like Miss USA Queens

Not only the names of both Miss USAs are alike but also many of their backdrops are quite analogous. While, Olivia Jordan is the first woman from Oklahoma to be crowned Miss USA, Olivia Culpo also became the first winner from Rhode Island to win Miss USA. Both Olivia Culpo and Olivia Jordan wore pink gowns during Miss USA and both of them competed at Las Vegas during the Miss Universe finals.

The Fallen Angel Urvashi Rautela

Miss Universe India, Urvashi Rautela, who made a buzz in media by becoming the only Miss India to win the right to represent the country at Miss Universe twice, has also seen the astounding déjà vu. The beauty won the Miss Universe India crown first in 2012 whereby she got to the right to represent India in Las Vegas at Miss Universe 2012. However, during the departure the organization found out that the diva was few days younger from being 18 years of age and hence she was dethroned from the title. In 2015, the beauty queen got the right to represent her country at Miss Universe 2015, which was coincidently also held in the Las Vegas. The fate did not gave her company even in the second time and she went unplaced despite of a fanatic fan following.

The Double Wins of 2014

2014 was the year which saw the fulfilled dreams of the countries who were vying for their second win in different pageants. While Paulina Vega became the second Colombian to wear the coveted Miss Universe crown, Jamie Herrell brought laurels to Philippines by becoming the second Filipino Miss Earth. Analogously, Valerie Hernandez was the second Puerto Rican Miss International. Also, after Helen Morgan’s resignation, Anneline Kriel was crowned as Miss World, hence Rolene Strauss becomes the second South African to win Miss World technically at the first attempt.

Particular Order of Placements

In both the editions of Miss Universe 2006 and Miss Universe 2007, the order of announcements in the Top 5 spot went on to be the order of final placements of the delegates. While, the Miss Universe 2006, Zuleyka Rivera from Puerto Rico was the first one to be called in the Top 5, Miss Japan, Miss Switzerland, Miss Paraguay and Miss USA followed Zuleyka both in placements as well as the order of announcements. Similarly, Miss Japan, Riyo Mori was the first one to be called in Miss Universe 2007 Top 5, followed by her runner ups Miss Brazil, Miss Venezuela, Miss Korea and Miss USA respectively. USA was fourth runner up in both the editions.

Relive the Crowning Moment

Surprisingly, Zuleyka Rivera’s winning reaction after being crowned as Miss Universe 2006 was exactly lived by her successor Riyo Mori during the time of her crowning at Miss Universe 2007. Not just the both the ladies had their eyes closed, but also the gesture of the hands as they tried to overcome the ecstatic moment was astoundingly identical.

The Heavenly Foretellers

In the same manner, 2006's first runner-up, Japan was declared the winner in Miss Universe 2007 through Riyo Mori. The succession of runner up countries later went on to win the main title in the succeeding years in the Miss Universe 2006 and 2007 editions.

The Queen Natalia

Miss Brazil 2007, Natalia Guimaraes passed her crown a year later to another Natalia, Natalia Anderle, who later represented Brazil at Miss Universe 2008.

The Fate of Taliana and Natalia

While, the names of both the beauty queens Taliana Vargas, Miss Colombia 2008 and Natalia Guimaraes, Miss Brazil 2007 is dissimilar, it is interesting to note when separated into two syllables then their names TALIA-NA would also be read as NA-TALIA. Also, in 2007 Natalia Guimaraes was titled as the first runner up at Miss Universe. A year later, Miss Colombia, Taliana Vargas was adjudged as the first runner up at Miss Universe 2008.
