MISS UNIVERSE BRAZIL OFFICIAL WEBSITE HAS ALSO CONFIRMED IT'LL BE ON DECEMBER 8 IN THE USA!
(roughly translated)
Miss Universe 2018 talks about the end of her reign and gives tips to the Brazilian representative
The Filipina will pass the title of the most beautiful woman in the world on December 8 in the United States.
Catriona Gray, Miss Universe 2018, took a quick trip to Brazil last week to visit children with cleft lip and palate, assisted by Smile Train, a philanthropic institution seeking resources to offer free surgeries to these patients.
During her stay in Sao Paulo, the Filipina talked exclusively to the Portal da Band about the final stretch of her reign. According to her, since she was elected the most beautiful woman in the world in December last year, her daily life has changed completely. In addition to moving to New York, Catriona had the opportunity to visit several countries - this was the first time she was in Latin America - and to become even more involved in social projects. "My life will never be the same. It was a very exciting year, but I am not sad to pass the crown because it is a privilege for me to know that after that someone else's life will be transformed," she said
Due to pre-scheduled appointments, she failed to meet Miss Universe Brazil Julia Horta, who landed in New York shortly before she landed in São Paulo. Despite this, the model revealed that follows the actions of the Mineira (people who was born in Minas Gerais state) through the internet. "I am very happy to know that Julia is engaged in social projects, but as I don't know her personally I am judging only by what I see online," she explained.
"I love to see when strong women use the platforms in their hands to promote good actions. And I love to see the passion of Brazilians for Julia too. One of the most important thing about this beauty pageant is that it unites an entire country. We get together and we celebrate on behalf of just one candidate and that's amazing", she said.
On December 8 this year, the Brazilian will try to break a 51-year fast without bringing the world crown to the country - the last to win the title was Martha Vasconcellos, from Bahia, in 1968. Before her, in 1963, Iêda Maria Vargas, from Rio Grande do Sul, secured Brazil's first win in the world contest.
When asked what tips she could give to the national competitor, Catriona was emphatic. "It is a very special moment and no matter how amazing you present yourself. If it's in your destiny, it will happen. Several factors contribute to the achievement of the crown. It depends on the judges, the look, the stance that day, but if the girl likes it , if she does her best, she can win. Of the 95 candidates, only one will win the crown, so I believe it is not just a competition between women, it is something much bigger", she emphasized.
"If I could say something to Julia, I would say, 'Enjoy it while you are there and remember that your country is with you,' she said.
