first Asian to get crowned by another Asian in the short history of the
"Miss Supranational" pageant.

The Gowns:

White Gown Beauties: All the contestants wore white dresses--some long (gowns) and some short, cocktail length. There were some messes (too short, too cheap-looking) and some nice--if not extraordinary--choices...

Miss India Asha Bhat: Asha's satin white gown was pretty, basic, nothing extraordinary. At least it was the right length and barely showed her shoes.

Miss Poland Kasia Krzeszowska: Kasia wore
a strapless dress with satin bustier and organza handkerchief hemmed
tiered skirt. This style was a bit of a 90's mess. And the fact that I
can see those tacky gold platform shoes...Ayyy Dios Mio!

Miss USA Allyn Rose: Nothing to really talk about--a white maxi dress that belongs at a Captain's Dinner in a cruise. She looked pretty.

Miss Gabon Maggaly Nguema: Maggaly's gown was one of the best of the finalists--I liked that it was to-the-floor (no shoes showing) and that it fit her nicely and looked both elegant and fashion-forward chic.
