Miss Universe 2016: Top Fan Favorites, Prediction Picks And More Before Crowning Night
Rei LantionThe most glamorous event of the season reaches its climax this January 29, 7:00 p.m. ET as the world's most beautiful ladies strut their stuff on-stage for the Miss Universe 2016 grand coronation night.
The event is happening live at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines-home of last season's Miss Universe, Pia Wurtzbach. Steve Harvey returns as host and he'll be joined by "America's Next Top Model," Ashley Graham.
So, who will wear the crown next? Here's a round-up fan favorites and popular predictions.
Miss USA and Miss Kosovo Stand Out. USA's Deshauna Barber has won the crowd over with her charm and unique position. As News Bits puts it, she's "already making history" as the first woman actively serving in the US Army Reserve to win the title of Miss USA. People are always clamoring for a strong female figure and this brave, bold and beautiful woman is perfect for that role.
Camila Barraza also takes the stage in a unique position as the first Miss Kosovo not born in Kosovo. Originally from Pilar, Buenos Aires, Argentina, she officially earned her citizenship December last year. If she becomes Wurtzbach's successor, she'll make Kosovo proud for sure.
Ashley Graham to Co-Host. Despite his colossal blunder during last season, Steve Harvey returns to host Miss Universe Coronation Night. Thankfully, he'll be joined by the flawless Ashley Graham, model and judge on "America's Next Top Model." Hollywood Life considers her perfect for the job, given that she's genuine, not afraid to be herself and a "role model to women everywhere-plus-sized or not."
Other predictions for Miss Universe 2016 includes the current Miss Philippines, Maxine Medina and Colombia's Andrea Tovar. The judging panel for this season includes Miss Universe 1993 Dayanara Torres from Puerto Rico, India's Sushmita Sen who was Miss Universe 1994 and Miss Universe 2011 Leila Lopes from Angola.
