Last week Saturday we celebrated the MISS SL ♛ 2020 Pageant with its Grand Finale event. It was a celebration of Beauty, Creativity and Talent very much, following the motto of MISS SL Organization since its foundation in 2014. The journey of the sixth MISS SL pageant went over 4 months. In two auditions, 5 runway challenges, two photo challenges, the live interviews, the finalist presentation and then the Grand Finale the judges evaluated our candidates’ beauty and styling skills, their creativity and very much their personality too. Little did we know which fast and dramatic developments the global community would be facing when 30 candidates joined the competition after the two auditions. Eventually there were 16 finalists to enter the final battle last Saturday.
These 16 finalists represented their countries with extraordinary creative National Costumes, walked in their sexy Victoria Secret outfits which were sponsored by Takuya Jinn from Gabriel Fashion & Accessoires this time, to then don their finest formal gowns for a final walk in which they all had to answer my question I gave them the day before:
If you are to win to be MISS SL ♛ 2020 today, what will be your next steps as the reigning MISS SL and what do you want to be remembered by when the year of your reign ends.
It is undenieable that we were very curious for the finalists answers to this question, particularily this year. It took one very tense Question & Answer round along with a variety of technical difficulties to finally come to a decision. The final vote by 17 judges was 100% unanimously in favour for one finalist, MISS SL ♛ Thailand 2020, Ella Pavlona, who stunned everyone with her beautiful National costume and the most elegant formal gown. Therefore we are happy to announce the following result and to finally acknowledge the titles below as rightfully achieved:
MISS SL ♛ 2020 – MISS SL ♛ Thailand 2020, EllaPavlona (1335 points)
