2018 is indeed an exciting pageant year. Vietnam, for the first time ever, won a major international beauty pageant title. The victory of Nguyễn Phương Khánh at Miss Earth allowed the country to jump from 65th to 56th place! What an achievement for Vietnam which began their participation at Big5 pageants only in 2002.
Nepal also shot up from 111th place to 98th. This sudden rise can be attributed to the surprising performances of Priya Sigdel (Top 18) at Miss Earth, Shrinkhala Khatiwada (Top 12) at Miss World and Manita Devkota (Top 10) at Miss Universe.
Equatorial Guinea is now at 163rd place up from 175th in 2017 thanks to the Top 25 finish of Maria Lucrecia Nve Maleva at Miss Supranational 2018.
The United States continues to be the beauty superpower, while Venezuela is catching up at second place. Many thought Venezuela will falter this year but instead it made its presence felt by winning the Miss International crown and placing 2nd runner-up at Miss Miss Universe. Venezuela is, indeed, still Venezuela!
Meanwhile, the Philippines, which is in the 4th place, has widened its lead over Colombia and is now threatening Brazil at 3rd place. Will 2019 propel the Philippines to the Top 3 or will Brazil continue to hold its ground? This is something that we have see next year!
