If anyone understands the Chinese culture, one would know that red is the real choice of color. It symbolizes celebration, good tidings and happiness. That is why in the 2012 edition of Miss World's World Designer Award, the red gowns are most conspicuous ones. Here are the 7 gowns that Missosology thinks are the eye catching ones.

Guadeloupe - this is an interesting gown in a black canvass peppered with feathers and meticulously arranged add-ons. If there is one thing that Miss World wants from a gown it would be about putting a lot of effort in the design.

Ireland - the gown is sexiness in good taste. The see-through fabric layered with appliques is so well designed and the patterns are just creative. The red color of course is a huge plus.

Dominican Republic - silver just screams elegance and one can appreciate that this is a pretty expensive creation. Figure hugging and sparkling, this gown is simply attention grabbing.

Wales - this is something that royals like Kate Middleton would wear. The way silver was matched with red is really genius. The lithe, tall figure of Miss Wales is a great partner of this gown.

Philippines - she aced everything in this gown. It's a powerful combination of elegance and creativity using the right colors and of course having the right girl wearing this divine creation.

Colombia - this is simplicity at its best. The red gown just screams sexy despite being bereft of any fancy add-ons. Love the way Colombia struts the catwalk.

Puerto Rico - Wow and wow and more wow. This is the best gown of the evening and it is not even in red. Puerto Rico pulled this gown brilliantly that uses ranges of blue from aquamarine to zaffre. And it showed off how sexy she is too!
