The best in gown is a simple blue violet piece. The cloth has a soft effect on its wearer Miss Philippines April Ross Perez. She was able to project the charm of her gown through a much simplier and demure moves. The best qualities of her gown include its simplicity, good choice of color (it stands out from the rest) and the good cut (sexy on the top lightly hugging the body). No wonder this gown grabbed the best score that night.

Speaking of the worsts, we've seen some bad choice of colors and some bad cut but in an overall impression, Miss Earth is so far the pageant with the most beautiful cloths surpassing those we've seen at Miss Universe and Miss International 2002. Miss Bosnia and Herzegovina Dzejla Glavovic may be the winner but is the wearer of one of the no-nos at beauty pageants: wearing a hat! Ditch the hat lady for how are they suppose to crown you with that? (They of course removed it) But just in case any other delegate would dare follow her hat-steps, we instantly made her as the one who has the worst gown at Miss Earth 2002.

Miss Belguim Stephanie Moreel is the classic example of "What you see, is what you don't get"! Her picture at the may sway the general audience to conclude that she is a blonde full of spunk but then at final's night, Stephanie appeared to be a full bodied woman due to her relatively smaller height and some additional pounds, that God knows when and where, she earned. She's, unfortunately, our worst swimsuit wearer.

On the other hand, no contest! Miss Colombia Diana Botero which was hailed by the judges to be the best in swimsuit is also our top choice for this category.

The Best in National Costume should go to Miss China Zhang Mei for appropriately using red--- China's color of joy and celebration and of course communism and for utilizing the sexy cut. It's cultural significance, of course, is there (notice the unique hat) and the way she carries it amplify the costume's beauty.
