So gorgeous! One of the most beautiful Miss World winners!
Among the 121 Miss World 2014 candidates, Miss South Africa Rolene Strauss and Miss India Koyal Rana are the 2 huge favorites, considered as the strongest contenders to be Megan Young's successor.
As I've previously blogged, India and South Africa have figured prominently as finalists in the Miss World 2014 challenge events Miss India is in the Top 5 of Beach Fashion and Multimedia, Top 10 Beauty with a Purpose, Top 20 in Top Model and Top 29 in Sports. She's also in the Top 10 of the People's Choice voting.
Miss South Africa on one hand is in the Top 3 of the Sports Challenge, as well as Top 5 in Beach Fashion, Top 10 Beauty with a Purpose and Top 20 in the Top Model competition.
Who will win? An Asian or an African or someone else? Will Miss World 2014 continue the streak for Asian beauties? Four (4) recent pageants held before this had Asian titleholders: Philippines
at Miss Earth 2014, Thailand at Miss Intercontinental, India at Miss Supranational and Japan at Miss Tourism World.
