Beauty queen cementing her position as heavy favorite for the crown
NASSAU, BAHAMAS — Miss Bahamas World Sienna Evans has made the semi-finals of the Miss World Top Model competition, an important preliminary in the Miss World pageant.
Evans placed in the Top 13 out of some 100 contestants from around the world, according to a press statement.
Her Top 13 placement is a good indicator that she is considered a contender for the Miss World title as many of the eventual winners of past Miss World pageants have been included in the Top Model semi-finals.
The contestants competed in two rounds of competition – the first featuring the creations of Puerto Rican designers. She was assigned the designer SoniMar who created a short and playful cocktail dress featuring a black sequined bodice and flared balloon skirt in a bright yellow.
Her second outfit was a creation of Filipino designer Boogie Musni Rivera and featured delicate organdy fabric taking its inspiration from the beautiful waters of The Bahamas.
Ocean waves were depicted by ruffled linings of turquoise, running to mild shades of blue, shifting to cool green. The white flowing fabric of the bodice was reminiscent of the pearly white-sand beaches which sparkle when the shimmering seas calm to low.
Evans gracefully glided down the runway wearing this one-of-a-kind showstopper. At the end of the evening, Miss Cote d’Ivoire was named winner of the Top Model competition, for which she secures a spot in the Miss World semi-finals. Miss Cameroon and Puerto Rico placed second and third, respectively.
Completing the top 13 for Miss World Top Model were France, Venezuela, Vietnam, Mexico, Kenya, Czech Republic, Poland, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, and of course The Bahamas.
“We are so, so proud of this placement,” said Michelle Malcolm, President of Miss Bahamas Organization.
“The Top Model competition is always closely watched by Miss World fans to see who may be on the radar. So hopefully this is a good sign of things to come. In any event, we congratulate Sienna on this wonderful accomplishment. And now we ask everyone to come on board to help push her even further by voting often.”
As for other fast-track events, Evans did not compete in the optional talent competition and did not advance in the sportswoman competition.
Beauty with a Purpose, Multimedia, and the Head-to-Head challenge will be determined by public votes.
While Evans continues to perform well, organizers appealed for public support to help propel her forward.
