Philippine’s Shamcey Supsup finished 3rd runner up
Miss Angola, Leila Lopes, was crowned Miss Universe 2011 as the world’s most beautiful night concluded on Tuesday in Sao Paulo, Brazil (Tuesday morning in Manila). Miss Angola, the only dark-skinned contender that made the final16, 10 and 5 cuts, was the Sao Paolo crowd favorite topping even Brazil’s own representative.
Lopes, the first woman to bring home the Miss Universe diamond crown to Angola, replaces 2010’s winner Ximena Navarrete of Mexico.
Miss Philippines’ Shamcey Supsup from General Santos City, finished the pageant as third runner up. Completing the top 5 were Ukraine’s Olesia Stefanko as first, Brazil’s Priscila Machado, and China’s Luo Zilin, fourth runners up.
Twenty-five-year-old Lopes, with her dark skin, was a standout throughout the pageant—from the contrasting bright yellow bikini she wore in the swimsuit portion and the strapless cream gown in the long gown competition.
She then picked Filipina judge Lea Salonga’s question for the most-feared Q&A portion. Salonga’s question to the Miss Universe 2011 winner was: “If you could change one of your personal characteristics, which one would it be and why?”
“Thank God, I’m very well satisfied with the way God created me and I would not change a thing,” was Miss Angola’s expected response.
She added, “I consider myself a woman with inner beauty. I have my principles. I have acquired many wonderful principles from my family and I plan to follow this through the rest of my life.”
Supsup, for her part, was the only one who answered without the help of a translator. She delivered the most honest answer in the pageant.
Asked by Vivica Fox, “Would you change your religious belief to marry the person that you love?” Supsup responded, “I would not marry the person I love because the first person I love is my God and [if] the person loves me, he should also love my God.”
Millions witnessed the world’s biggest pageant worldwide as it was aired live by the NBC network and distributed into different live streams. It was hosted by he pageant, NBC Today anchor Natalie Morales and the Bravo network’s Andy Cohen.
Viewers participated in an online fan voting and ranking held simultaneously throughout the pageant.
Filipinos made their presence and support for Supsup known as she topped the online fan voting among the top 5 and second in the swimsuit and evening gown competitions.
Miss Universe 2011 also celebrated pageant’s 60th anniversary. Sao Paolo set as the perfect venue as the stage was brought to life with lively music, colorful performances and the beauty of 89 women who represented their countries.
Live commentaries were brought by Shandi Finnessy, Miss USA 2004, and Jeannie Mai, Vietnamese fashion expert, make up artist and TV personality. The two lauded Angola for putting the crowd to a frenzy and Supsup for her humility.
