You are so on point! So glad when you mentioned Ms. Canada 2018's gown was made for monarchs because Michael Cinco, the Dubai-based Filipino designer who made it, is a known designer for the Arab royalties and socialites.
Here are some of the best designers who are behind the masterpieces. Iris Mittenaere - Hoang Hai Stephanie Fernandez - Gionni Straccia Zozibini Tunzi - Biji la Maison Catriona Gray - Mak Tumang Sthefany Gutierrez - Nidal Nouaihed Adriana Gutierrez - Alfredo Barraza Raquel Pelissier - Diego Fernando Diana Harkusha - Zuhair Murad (who also dresses Taylor Swift, Alessandro Ambrosio etc) Marta Stepien - Michael Cinco Dyana Mendoza - Gianni Straccia Nia Sanchez - Michael Costello (who also dress Nicki Minaj) Irene Esser - Gianni Straccia Fashai Paweensuda - Joe Surface Zuleyka Rivera - Carlos Alberto Disenador.
Zozi's and Catriona's gowns were breathtaking! The colors complimented their skin tones and they wore them like there's no tomorrow! I love France's too! Canada's nude gown was full on drama!
she put 2nd placeeee.. though she said in the video 2nd runner up but she corrected herself and she put in the video 2nd place. and 2nd runner up s different to 2nd palce miss universe 1st runner up 1st place 2nd place
For me, the toughest and most incredible ever gown made and shown was with Catriona Gray Magnayon lava gown. The unique story, whole package was there, from a unique color, designedm simplicity cut, fitness, texture of fabrics and comfort...etc...first glance attraction that will capture ryt away attention to all eyes! Since 1980s, im an avid fan of watching MU until now...but thaat i still cannot moved on how it was made.😃👏🌷🌳🌼🌹👒❇💚🍸
@@timandrewcaraang7129 gorgeous but not on the level of the dresses in this video . Just simple &normal . 🇵🇭 fans are so delusional. 😆😆may be they think their favs are always the best in everything .
I was expecting Miss Universe 2007 (Japan) to be there! Hers was so unique and well represented of her country. Never seen a gown like that after that.
Yeah but for her gowns are only made by West countries nd their followers ( Philippines) nd i consider south africa as west colonised nd influenced that has lost its culture by colonization.
For me my # 1 gown in Miss Universe is Miss Puerto Rico 2006 2nd is Miss Philippines 2018, 3rd is Miss South Africa 2019, 4th is Miss Venezuela 2008 and the 5th Place is Miss Indonesia 2019 but I don't like here walk that's why here gown is not standing out but still I love it nice design and nice details in my 6th place is Miss Thailand 2019, 7th is Miss Ukraine 2014, 8th place is Miss Philippines 2015 I like the back of the gown nice details too, 9th place is Miss France 2015 very fashion show, and in the 10th place is Miss Japan 2015
Great choices on this list. My absolute fave in history so far are: 1- Zuleyka: MPU 2006 - This dress is absolutely stunning and the dress did not wear her, she wore the life out of this dress. 2- Catriona: Baby this dress is sexy, the detailing is art, fit like a glove, and what it symbolized made it even more special. Oh and let's not 4get that Lava walk that came along with it. She ate this up. 3- Zozibini: MUSA 2019 - When she came out I screamed, give her the crown. This dress is futuristic, powerful, the colors,and the shimmer looked absolutely stunning against her skin complexion. Her confidence along with her dress took it to another level. This is Opulence at is best
For me,,, MISS UNIVERSE 2018 gown is the BEST OF THEM ALL,, there is a lot of story BEHIND that GOWN, it also symbolized PATRIOTISM, DIGNITY and PRIDE 🇵🇭😘❤
The only gowns I remembered though I forgot the names who wore those gowns are: *The yellow one that seems to like flow whenever she turns around. It was so eye-catching and radiant. It's like a gown made for a queen of a hidden garden. Simple yet elegant. *The lava dress that literally is not your ordinary red dress. Its red color is like a real fire that was tamed to be made in to a gown befitting for a fire queen and it's not your normal red color. It doesn't look like a fabric but a real lava. *The chains. The design was so great that I felt the vibe of "You rock" but with the elegant and sexy vibe. Also, it brings out the powerful side of a woman but not in an irritating way. *Miss Canada's gown was simply gorgeous. Her gown is the epitome of elegance and royalty vibe. I can't say that the other gown are as memorable as this four are (in my opinion).
I've spent the last 30 minutes looking up your choices and my jaw dropped every time. You nailed it! Great analysis. My all time favorite has to be Catriona Gray and her dress because her performance from beginning to end was like a meteor shooting across the heavens. Mesmerizing, epic, and flawless.
what made Catriona's lava gown so special was it represented her hometown which is Bicol -- where Mayon volcano, the most perfectly cone shaped volcano, is.
Sovereign, you know I love your commentary. always waiting for when the next video is going to come out. One correction about the girl in 2008 who had the yellow gown, that was Venezuela's Dayana Mendoza (not Colombia). She was the one who was one of the two back-to-back Venezuelans who won Miss Universe. She also ended what would have been a 12-year drought of Venezuela not having won a Miss Universe title since 1996 at that time. Venezuela currently has seven Miss Universe crowns under their belt and they are already in position to catch the USA who has eight. I really wish Miss Universe would go back to the days when the top 10 who scored the highest actually made the top 10 and let them duke it out while the audience goes crazy for their favorite. That could bring the excitement back to Miss Universe. not sure why but it seems like the Philippines, South Africa, Vietnam and Thailand seem to be ruling the stage just like the South Americans used to do years ago.
The best gown of the history is zuleyka from miss universe 2006 Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 is so unique, different and beautiful 😍 2- Catriona from the Philippines 🇵🇭 2018 3- Iris from France 🇫🇷 2016 I love it
There's a different between BEST and UNIQUE. You should wash your eyes. It should be M.U 2006 the most unique gown. And M.U 2018 was the best. While M.U 2016 is the most expensive look gown.
Catriona brought to the stage a gown that depicted a part of her country where the Mayon Volcano sits, and it was jaw-dropping. On the other hand, Zozi brought her entire country through a gown that depicted the sand, sea, and surf of South Africa. Both gowns are phenomenal! The designers of those gowns should be appropriately recognized by their respective governments. I'm hoping to see more of those depictions in this IMG era of MU. Thanks, Your Highness, for making this video. I truly love it.
Zozi with them Panther walk. Apparently this Gown took 132000 beugel beads by hand with 1400 man hours to make by Biji la Mason of Biji Couture. I couldn't be more prouder
Suleyka Rivera dress a dream in the most beautiful body of a beautiful woman! Memorable, the story of miss universe Suleyka and her dress will remembered forever.
2006 Puerto Rico gown is still fresh even up to this day. The other girls looked like prom gowns next to her. 2006 is more than 10 years ago! Its 2006 and she wore a gown of the future. Even in the year 2030 that metal chains gown would still look fresh.
The yellow gown was worn by Venezuela's Dayana Mendoza who won Miss Universe 2008, she's not from Colombia and Laura Gonzalez from Colombia competed on 2017, she's 1st runner up to Demi-Leigh Nel Peters of South Africa..... But Love how you reacted to every gown, love from Philippines 💞
Loved most of your choices, but not including Pia’s iconic blue gown makes this list invalid for me tbh. Anyway, would love to see a list of 10 best final walk gowns please.
I love your choices for top 15 gowns, and definitely would have also added the following for a Top 25, if possible: France 2015 (Flora... her unique red slice neckline with high slit and rings of matching crystal detailing... so FIERCE!!!), Ireland 2010 (how did Rozanna get robbed out of the Top 5 that year with this diamond-strapped one-shoulder piece with burst-line detail going throughout?!), Thailand 2017 (Maria’s dress was so different, despite being similar to her predecessor Chalita’s in terms of color and regal presence, and still so incredible in its own individual right), Czech Republic 2003 & 2009 (Katerina and Iveta both stunned in their respective years, especially in competitive motion with 2003’s haute couture moment and 2009’s ethereal butterfly reminiscence), Japan 2006 (the intricacies in Kurara’s final night gown details are exquisite and captivating, with the strategic paneling adding beautiful accents in structure to the black gown), Greece 2001 (the empire waist structure and blush pink color gave Evelina a modernized goddess-like presence that was unbelievable [and even outranks my personal favorite of that year Venezuela]), Colombia 2008 (Taliana [not Dayana, though they’re both stunning goddesses in their own right, so it’s all forgivable] also brought a “Stop the World” moment with her incredible flowy gold gown that year), Angola 2011 (Leila wore one of my personal favorite gowns to perfection, with many trying to duplicate the crystallized sweetheart neckline and plumed slit design but not having the same victorious justice), and Ecuador 2013 (the color of Constanza’s gown reminded me of ice cream, and the added beaded detail across the bodice with feathers traveling down perfectly from the slit further emphasized the gorgeous cut of the one-shoulder piece, and left people as hungry for food as she was for the title she almost won that year)
Agree with most of the choices but not with the order you placed at all. Zuleyka chain dress has to be at least top 3 of all time. Those top 2 uhh... FYI Yellow dress was worn by Dayana Mendoza from Venezuela.
A true pageant fan will never ever place Zuleyka Rivera’s iconic chain gown at least below top 5 in his or her list. IMO. 😅 Where’s Brazil 2012 work of art gown? That was a bomb as well. ❤️ P.S. Love some of the gowns that made the list. 👑
Great taste as always our sovereign. My favorite gown moment is the Celine bikini top gown wore by Miss Japan 2003, Miyako Miyazaki. It was way beyond her time and incredibly risky but chic accompanied with the music performance by the sexiest classical group of the time, bond. It was such a moment and I compared it to every contestant who ever walked the miss universe stage.
Awwww!!!! most of your choice is mine too omg!!!!! now I am starting to have confidence on myself when it comes to Gowns thank you so much Sovereign for a very detailed enthusiastic and honest review :-)
I'm not into pageants at all, I am interested in designing dresses and such and I love the way she talks about these gowns. The passion in her whole body, it's so inspiring.
By the way, the 3 dresses that you picked from Venezuela (emerald green (2nd runner up), flowing yellow (you said Colombia but that it was Dayana Mendoza (MU) who wore it) and red with feathers (MU)) are from the same designer: Gionni Straccia.
Actually the queen you named as colombia 2008, 8:12 was Dayana Mendoza miss Venezuela 2008 in fact she was one of the venezuelan queens who gaved us the iconic back to back! I just wanted to clarified that 🥰
The moment I saw the title of your video Dayana Mendoza's Yellow number popped into my mind, and hey she made it but honey she is from Venezuela. I dreamed of that dress and up to this day I dream of wearing one of same thing. The way it moved, the turn, the COLOR its just mind blowing. That is like the realization of every little girls dream of a perfect dress that twirls around you as you spin like around your castle. I had other dresses or gowns in my head like Miss Russia 2002 Oxana Fedorova's white gown, Miss Colombia 2008 Taliana Vargas, and Miss Japan 2007 Riyo Mori's unconventional number, but looking into your perspective I somewhat understand why those didnt make it but most of your choices I agree of. These gowns can make a pauper to a princess(well in this case a queen) in an instant. This is the reason why I love Miss Universe especially the Evening Gown competition. Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
YOU ARE VERY IMPRESSSSSIVE!! AWW YOU ARE VERY ENTERTAINING, GIRL! I am just compelled to write to you tell you this, and that you should be a MU commentator! We don't usually subscribe but will do here for you! (My own personal choice would be the simple white but elegance of 2005 MU and the champagne/light gold? elegance of Miss France Iris MU 16 was it? GOOD LUCK SOVEREIGN from the United States and shout out to Pauline Amelinckx "Miss Bohol" a top contender at MUP 2020!...No she may not be a doctor nor have a towering height nor exotic nor a former MU relative; but she IS still a complete package and full of charisma especially to be a spokesperson for Miss Universe! : ) [i knew i'd mess up her last name so i edited lol]
I hope we never forget what Puerto Rico went through just to serve us with this drop dead gorgeous moment. Apparently it was so heavy it scratched up her neck and she even fainted because it was so hot with all the lights on that metal. A disservice to just praise the designer only.
Japan 2003, Miyako Miyazaki, for me had the most risqué and daring gown. Nude skirt and bikini ensemble, complete with a floor length coat was everything. No one would even consider to follow up with that look these days.
As what she said, she'll talk about the gown. Not the performance. Oxana's perd was superb, but the gown itself is not that beautiful. It was beautiful because of her perf.
She's not you to begin with. The list is based on her own preferences. Each of us have our own likes and dislikes and it happened that Oxana's didn't make Sovereign's top 15 cut and again, that's because she is not you.
you made your video controversial by not making Zulleyka’s gown No. 1. But I like the fact that you’re not triggered and you stand by your choice. Good Job 💅🏾
you might wanna edit top 10, Davonna. This is Miss Universe 2008 and I can remember Lady Gaga made a debut of her single Just Dance during swimsuit competition.
My Top 5 BEST Miss Universe Winning Gowns: 1. Zuleyka Rivera 2006 2. Zozibini Tunzi 2019 3. Iris Mittenaere 2016 4. Dayana Mendoza 2008 5. Catriona Gray 2018 Honorable Mentions: These are “Love it or Hate it” Gowns but are memorable: Oxana Fedorova 2002 Jennifer Hawkins 2004 Stefania Fernandez 2009 Leila Lopes 2011 Riyo Mori 2007
U r something!!! Thanks for your charisma, personality, and refined taste. Not only some of these dresses, but U yourself are hipnotic. From Uruguay. Thanks, Sovereign. You know the 3 dresses I love, besides these ones you share with us and so many others, Don' t kill me, male's view, haha. Japan 2007. She levitated on the stage. Romantic and feminine. Russia 2002, utmost romanticism. And Japan 2003. I've never seen any other miss sooooo sensual and stylish.
Catriona Gray evening gown really amazing and awesome, I notice why Ms. Russia in Ms. Universe 2002 is not included.... for me from 2000 to 2019 that white simple gown from Ms. Russia 2002 really fantastic...
Great video! Love your picks too! My memorable favorites in your given timeframe are Russia 2002, Brazil 2007, Korea 2007, Venezuela 2009, Angola 2011, USA 2014, Philippines 2015, Philippines 2018, Vietnam 2018 prelim, Thailand 2015, and Thailand 2019.
As a fashion designer here in kwt, at almost time the difficult detail was the dress from miss Venezuela, the green because the black crystal details need iron machine and wood board and iron plastic to determine the crystal itself is on the proper detail, to indicate the point,,miss universe 2019, it's not difficult because I did it already in a wedding dress, the from neck it's separate from dress,, for miss France it's easy also because that only embroidery then big crystal attach with hole both two side and need 6000 glue or either 3000 glue, for miss Venezuela the red dress the more simple, because from the second hips going down just 1/8 inch details of bias blessy which is you can order in the shop, you can brame nylon trade,
I feel like France dress was okay but South Africa 2019 is my favorite gowns of All time I feel like nia Sanchez dress was great but I felt like miss USA Olivia Jordan was left out because her gown was also my favorite
Green Lantern I felt like she had a gown we never seen before as France I thought that we seen that type of gown on other miss universe contestants before and I just loved zozi gown because it’s unique and the way she walked in it was amazing I would of chose Haiti gown over France in my opinion but everyone has different taste
the gown that really stood the test of time is 1999 Miss Universe 1st Runner Up gown. Put it in any year from 1952 until present and you will see how it stands out,
I have this crazy but memorable experience with gowns. I remember my junior prom, then my parents don't want me to attend the prom due to financial problems during that time and I cried to my gay cousin and vented out all of my problems because it's once a lifetime. my cousin did he get our white satin curtain and make me a wonderful evening gown with good detailing and luckily I won the prom queen. it's very memorable for me thank you josh for sewing me a wonderful creation. he made beautiful classy elegant young women at that time
The most elegant gown ..miss france i really love its so classic...catriona's gown was so perfect ...zuleyka zozibini catriona iris gowns put them stand alone with no one wearing ..they are master pieces at its best ..
Dayana Mendoza, Miss Venezuela and the MU 2008 was the one wearing the yellow gown. We all make mistakes and being forgetful sometimes, and I still love watching the video all the way. That's all that matters ❤❤❤
I agree with most of these! I would've put Zuleyka's gown much higher and Zozibini/Catriona in my Top 2. However, I really dislike Irene Esser's gown. I didn't like the color and design at all. I would've added in Colombia 2008. The design wasn't that good. But the material and how the dress was constructed absolutely helped her. Gave me my favourite evening gown walk ever.
Not a big fan of Venezuela gowns particularly the ones worn by Dayana (MU 2008) and Stefania (MU 2009) which I think was designed by Gionni Straccia. Puerto Rico's metal chain gown by Carlos Alberto in MU2006 is still the most iconic so far between 2001 and 2010 because it was so ahead of its time, though I must add that Russia's white wedding dress by Tom Ford in MU2002 would have Zuleyka run for her money. Between 2011 and 2020, the Philippines' red lava gown in MU2018 is the most 'noticeable' by far. The most 'fashionable' for me would be Ukraine's red organza drapes by Zuhair Murad in MU2014.
Interesting review. But, gowns such as Puerto RIco's 2006 masterpiece (in my opinion the best of all your review) is very similar to Cher's 1989 Oscar gown; and Venezuela's 2018 gown is a direct knock off of Cher's nude dress for the Met Gala back in the 70s. Cher's nude dress has inspired many gowns in runways and at pageants as you can see from a few dresses noted on your review.
Hahahahahaha... I love Stefania Fernandez Gown... Hers is actually my number#1 choice I am not expecting you gonna put her gown in the list. I agree with the TOP 3..
I think the best evening gown walk was made by Stefania Fernandez in 2009. She was a little thin for comfort but she looked and walked like a real queen in the finals with that beautiful red gown and lipstick .
I love Iris when I saw her in that gown, I knew she was going to win, she was radiant and she is lovely, charismatic one of my favorite Miss Universe of all time.
You are so on point! So glad when you mentioned Ms. Canada 2018's gown was made for monarchs because Michael Cinco, the Dubai-based Filipino designer who made it, is a known designer for the Arab royalties and socialites.
Here are some of the best designers who are behind the masterpieces.
Iris Mittenaere - Hoang Hai
Stephanie Fernandez - Gionni Straccia
Zozibini Tunzi - Biji la Maison
Catriona Gray - Mak Tumang
Sthefany Gutierrez - Nidal Nouaihed
Adriana Gutierrez - Alfredo Barraza
Raquel Pelissier - Diego Fernando
Diana Harkusha - Zuhair Murad (who also dresses Taylor Swift, Alessandro Ambrosio etc)
Marta Stepien - Michael Cinco
Dyana Mendoza - Gianni Straccia
Nia Sanchez - Michael Costello (who also dress Nicki Minaj)
Irene Esser - Gianni Straccia
Fashai Paweensuda - Joe Surface
Zuleyka Rivera - Carlos Alberto Disenador.
When Catriona was the one who designed the ear piece and i-
Dili man itonong ni mamag feista lagi kay bawal man daw hahaha sabot lang taK
it looks cute goes well with her gown
Zozi's and Catriona's gowns were breathtaking! The colors complimented their skin tones and they wore them like there's no tomorrow! I love France's too! Canada's nude gown was full on drama!
Catriona brought multicolored gowns back. She brought creativity and modernity to the miss universe stage.
Nia won 1st Runner Up not 2nd Runner Up.
The yellow gown was worn by Dayana Mendoza (Venuezuela) not Colombia
she put 2nd placeeee.. though she said in the video 2nd runner up but she corrected herself and she put in the video 2nd place. and 2nd runner up s different to 2nd palce
miss universe
1st runner up
1st place
2nd place
Canada’s gown with the skirt is designed by Filipino designer Michael Cinco
Made in the Philippines #winner
@@lilpenny1982 technically its Made in Dubai 🤣
Did you know we really don't care!
I'm amazed how you described the gowns! So spot on! But You just had a Steve Harvey moment by calling Venezuela 2008 as Colombia
chiiiiiiild !!!
Babe d yellow gown wore by miss venezuela not colombia
Yes. Dayana is from Venezuela.
and she won
Irene Esser and Dayana Mendoza's gown were made from the same designer which name is Gionni Straccia
She is so excited thts why didn't even recall what country....the famous Dayana Mendoza from Venezuela 😂 😂 😂
that's true...
For me, the toughest and most incredible ever gown made and shown was with Catriona Gray Magnayon lava gown.

Her gown is simple
@@wannabefriend7052 to you.
In general it's GORGEOUS*

Nothing's special on Pia's gown. It's a typical gown lol.
I actually don’t like Pia’s dress. But I love Pia
I was expecting Miss Universe 2007 (Japan) to be there! Hers was so unique and well represented of her country. Never seen a gown like that after that.
Yeah but for her gowns are only made by West countries nd their followers ( Philippines) nd i consider south africa as west colonised nd influenced that has lost its culture by colonization.
That’s Venezuela not Colombia, i’m sure it was just an honest mistake. They were both so beautiful that year.
For me my # 1 gown in Miss Universe is Miss Puerto Rico 2006 2nd is Miss Philippines 2018, 3rd is Miss South Africa 2019, 4th is Miss Venezuela 2008 and the 5th Place is Miss Indonesia 2019 but I don't like here walk that's why here gown is not standing out but still I love it nice design and nice details in my 6th place is Miss Thailand 2019, 7th is Miss Ukraine 2014, 8th place is Miss Philippines 2015 I like the back of the gown nice details too, 9th place is Miss France 2015 very fashion show, and in the 10th place is Miss Japan 2015
Great choices on this list. My absolute fave in history so far are:
1- Zuleyka: MPU 2006 - This dress is absolutely stunning and the dress did not wear her, she wore the life out of this dress.

I'm really expecting Ms.PuertoRico 2006- Zuleyka Rivera &
Ms.Venezuela 2008- Dayana Mendoza could have been on your top 5 best evening gown.
For me,,, MISS UNIVERSE 2018 gown is the BEST OF THEM ALL,, there is a lot of story BEHIND that GOWN, it also symbolized PATRIOTISM, DIGNITY and PRIDE 🇵🇭😘❤
The only gowns I remembered though I forgot the names who wore those gowns are:
*The yellow one that seems to like flow whenever she turns around. It was so eye-catching and radiant. It's like a gown made for a queen of a hidden garden. Simple yet elegant.
*The lava dress that literally is not your ordinary red dress. Its red color is like a real fire that was tamed to be made in to a gown befitting for a fire queen and it's not your normal red color. It doesn't look like a fabric but a real lava.
*The chains. The design was so great that I felt the vibe of "You rock" but with the elegant and sexy vibe. Also, it brings out the powerful side of a woman but not in an irritating way.

There's a different between BEST and UNIQUE. You should wash your eyes.

You should do best final walk gowns of each miss universeeee
Agree!! Really can’t wait for her favorite list of final walk gowns
I don't think she can do that
Just look, how dare she put in no(15) Zuleyka's gown 😏

I love your choices for top 15 gowns, and definitely would have also added the following for a Top 25, if possible: France 2015 (Flora... her unique red slice neckline with high slit and rings of matching crystal detailing... so FIERCE!!!), Ireland 2010 (how did Rozanna get robbed out of the Top 5 that year with this diamond-strapped one-shoulder piece with burst-line detail going throughout?!), Thailand 2017 (Maria’s dress was so different, despite being similar to her predecessor Chalita’s in terms of color and regal presence, and still so incredible in its own individual right), Czech Republic 2003 & 2009 (Katerina and Iveta both stunned in their respective years, especially in competitive motion with 2003’s haute couture moment and 2009’s ethereal butterfly reminiscence), Japan 2006 (the intricacies in Kurara’s final night gown details are exquisite and captivating, with the strategic paneling adding beautiful accents in structure to the black gown), Greece 2001 (the empire waist structure and blush pink color gave Evelina a modernized goddess-like presence that was unbelievable [and even outranks my personal favorite of that year Venezuela]), Colombia 2008 (Taliana [not Dayana, though they’re both stunning goddesses in their own right, so it’s all forgivable] also brought a “Stop the World” moment with her incredible flowy gold gown that year), Angola 2011 (Leila wore one of my personal favorite gowns to perfection, with many trying to duplicate the crystallized sweetheart neckline and plumed slit design but not having the same victorious justice), and Ecuador 2013 (the color of Constanza’s gown reminded me of ice cream, and the added beaded detail across the bodice with feathers traveling down perfectly from the slit further emphasized the gorgeous cut of the one-shoulder piece, and left people as hungry for food as she was for the title she almost won that year)
Agree with most of the choices but not with the order you placed at all. Zuleyka chain dress has to be at least top 3 of all time. Those top 2 uhh...
FYI Yellow dress was worn by Dayana Mendoza from Venezuela.
Baby
Well said😍👍
You're so precise! The way you speak, the things you say, the way you think, I wanna be like you... The amount of Authenticity is so amazing... 😊
A true pageant fan will never ever place Zuleyka Rivera’s iconic chain gown at least below top 5 in his or her list. IMO. 😅
Where’s Brazil 2012 work of art gown? That was a bomb as well. ❤️
P.S. Love some of the gowns that made the list. 👑
we have different tastes. get over it.
Great taste as always our sovereign. My favorite gown moment is the Celine bikini top gown wore by Miss Japan 2003, Miyako Miyazaki. It was way beyond her time and incredibly risky but chic accompanied with the music performance by the sexiest classical group of the time, bond. It was such a moment and I compared it to every contestant who ever walked the miss universe stage.
Awwww!!!! most of your choice is mine too omg!!!!! now I am starting to have confidence on myself when it comes to Gowns thank you so much Sovereign for a very detailed enthusiastic and honest review :-)
I'm not into pageants at all, I am interested in designing dresses and such and I love the way she talks about these gowns. The passion in her whole body, it's so inspiring.
By the way, the 3 dresses that you picked from Venezuela (emerald green (2nd runner up), flowing yellow (you said Colombia but that it was Dayana Mendoza (MU) who wore it) and red with feathers (MU)) are from the same designer: Gionni Straccia.
🤴
It was so amazing how Venezuela 2009 was able to make something different out of your typical red gown. Loved the top design in particular.
Do a top 10 best gown/dress worn in farewell walk of miss universe.
yeah pls do that.
I really appreciate your top 5! They ARE LITERALLY AN ART!
Actually the queen you named as colombia 2008, 8:12 was Dayana Mendoza miss Venezuela 2008 in fact she was one of the venezuelan queens who gaved us the iconic back to back! I just wanted to clarified that 🥰
The moment I saw the title of your video Dayana Mendoza's Yellow number popped into my mind, and hey she made it but honey she is from Venezuela. I dreamed of that dress and up to this day I dream of wearing one of same thing. The way it moved, the turn, the COLOR its just mind blowing. That is like the realization of every little girls dream of a perfect dress that twirls around you as you spin like around your castle.
I had other dresses or gowns in my head like Miss Russia 2002 Oxana Fedorova's white gown, Miss Colombia 2008 Taliana Vargas, and Miss Japan 2007 Riyo Mori's unconventional number, but looking into your perspective I somewhat understand why those didnt make it but most of your choices I agree of.
These gowns can make a pauper to a princess(well in this case a queen) in an instant. This is the reason why I love Miss Universe especially the Evening Gown competition.
Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
you really are a fan! :D i love riyo mori's one.
YOU ARE VERY IMPRESSSSSIVE!! AWW YOU ARE VERY ENTERTAINING, GIRL! I am just compelled to write to you tell you this, and that you should be a MU commentator! We don't usually subscribe but will do here for you! (My own personal choice would be the simple white but elegance of 2005 MU and the champagne/light gold? elegance of Miss France Iris MU 16 was it? GOOD LUCK SOVEREIGN from the United States and shout out to Pauline Amelinckx "Miss Bohol" a top contender at MUP 2020!...No she may not be a doctor nor have a towering height nor exotic nor a former MU relative; but she IS still a complete package and full of charisma especially to be a spokesperson for Miss Universe! : ) [i knew i'd mess up her last name so i edited lol]
You are soo right and have good taste. Because Stefania Fernandez is the real queen of red gown. She looked spectacular in that dress
I hope we never forget what Puerto Rico went through just to serve us with this drop dead gorgeous moment. Apparently it was so heavy it scratched up her neck and she even fainted because it was so hot with all the lights on that metal. A disservice to just praise the designer only.
Japan 2003, Miyako Miyazaki, for me had the most risqué and daring gown. Nude skirt and bikini ensemble, complete with a floor length coat was everything. No one would even consider to follow up with that look these days.
how could we talk about classic and not include Oxana’s gown
thank you
As what she said, she'll talk about the gown. Not the performance. Oxana's perd was superb, but the gown itself is not that beautiful. It was beautiful because of her perf.
My all-time fave gown ...
She's not you to begin with. The list is based on her own preferences. Each of us have our own likes and dislikes and it happened that Oxana's didn't make Sovereign's top 15 cut and again, that's because she is not you.
She thought that Oxana's and Natalie's gowns are too similar
you made your video controversial by not making Zulleyka’s gown No. 1. But I like the fact that you’re not triggered and you stand by your choice. Good Job 💅🏾
That was miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza in a yellow dress not miss Colombia
She doesnt even know what shes talking about lol.
So funny she messed up😂
I love Catriona's prelim gown more compared to her final gown... They both look superb though...
Miss Japan 2007, Riyo Mori
Miss Russia 2002, Oxana Fedorova
Dayana Mendoza is from Venezuela,right?
They won back to back with Stefania Fernandez?
you might wanna edit top 10, Davonna. This is Miss Universe 2008 and I can remember Lady Gaga made a debut of her single Just Dance during swimsuit competition.
Right? XD I'm sure she's gonna write a little sentence about it.
Ỷeah..hehehe..she hàd a.mistake
Yes. She was from Venezuela not Colombia.
Stefania is flawless
Loved the intro, how you anticipated the comments and stressed that you’re talking about the GOWNS and not the QUEENS IN THEM. Love you always
Also Miss Thailand's black gown on 2016 was amazing too. Just extraordinary.
Request granted! 😍 Thank you for making this video💙

Russia 2002, utmost romanticism. And Japan 2003. I've never seen any other miss sooooo sensual and stylish.
If you like Miss USA’s 2014 gown you should see Miss Great Britten 2013 RED DRESS 😱
Ms. Canada 2018 gown is created by a well known Filipino designer Michael Cinco!!!😇❤️🍀
Catriona Gray evening gown really amazing and awesome, I notice why Ms. Russia in Ms. Universe 2002 is not included.... for me from 2000 to 2019 that white simple gown from Ms. Russia 2002 really fantastic...
Great video! Love your picks too! My memorable favorites in your given timeframe are Russia 2002, Brazil 2007, Korea 2007, Venezuela 2009, Angola 2011, USA 2014, Philippines 2015, Philippines 2018, Vietnam 2018 prelim, Thailand 2015, and Thailand 2019.
I love you The Sovereign, I enjoyed watching you all the time, your so witty and smart, mwuaaahhhh keep up the good work
Dayana mendoza is from Venezuela and Nia Sanchez is the 1st runner up🤔
As a fashion designer here in kwt, at almost time the difficult detail was the dress from miss Venezuela, the green because the black crystal details need iron machine and wood board and iron plastic to determine the crystal itself is on the proper detail, to indicate the point,,miss universe 2019, it's not difficult because I did it already in a wedding dress, the from neck it's separate from dress,, for miss France it's easy also because that only embroidery then big crystal attach with hole both two side and need 6000 glue or either 3000 glue, for miss Venezuela the red dress the more simple, because from the second hips going down just 1/8 inch details of bias blessy which is you can order in the shop, you can brame nylon trade,
I feel like France dress was okay but South Africa 2019 is my favorite gowns of All time
I feel like nia Sanchez dress was great but I felt like miss USA Olivia Jordan was left out because her gown was also my favorite
Really?
Zozi gown is horrible gown for your information hahahahahaha
But zozi is so wise she still deserve to win
Green Lantern I felt like she had a gown we never seen before as France I thought that we seen that type of gown on other miss universe contestants before and I just loved zozi gown because it’s unique and the way she walked in it was amazing
I would of chose Haiti gown over
France in my opinion but everyone has different taste
the gown that really stood the test of time is 1999 Miss Universe 1st Runner Up gown. Put it in any year from 1952 until present and you will see how it stands out,
Miriam quiambao's gown yes
That was made by a Colombian designer.
I have this crazy but memorable experience with gowns. I remember my junior prom, then my parents don't want me to attend the prom due to financial problems during that time and I cried to my gay cousin and vented out all of my problems because it's once a lifetime. my cousin did he get our white satin curtain and make me a wonderful evening gown with good detailing and luckily I won the prom queen. it's very memorable for me thank you josh for sewing me a wonderful creation. he made beautiful classy elegant young women at that time
The most elegant gown ..miss france i really love its so classic...catriona's gown was so perfect ...zuleyka zozibini catriona iris gowns put them stand alone with no one wearing ..they are master pieces at its best ..
You are indeed the queen of adjectives! Plus the way you describe everything, I feel you girl! Haha!
Dayana Mendoza, Miss Venezuela and the MU 2008 was the one wearing the yellow gown. We all make mistakes and being forgetful sometimes, and I still love watching the video all the way. That's all that matters ❤❤❤
2 mistakes in this video:
1. Miss USA 2014 is the 1st runner-up. Not 2nd
2. Miss Universe 2008 is VENEZUELA. Not Colombia!!!!!!
2018 had Canada Venezuela and Philippines ... such an outstanding year at MU
8:07 is not Colombia! Is Venezuela 🇻🇪 miss universe 2008 Dayana Mendoza Venezuela!!
I agree with most of these! I would've put Zuleyka's gown much higher and Zozibini/Catriona in my Top 2. However, I really dislike Irene Esser's gown. I didn't like the color and design at all.
I would've added in Colombia 2008. The design wasn't that good. But the material and how the dress was constructed absolutely helped her. Gave me my favourite evening gown walk ever.
my 3 favorite gown among them,the white gown from miss Canada,a yellow from miss Venezuela,and a red gown from miss phiippines
8:08 *Venezuela (Dayana Mendoza)
France's gown was made by Vietnamesr designer to whom doesnt know.
10:45 of course that is MICHAEL CINCO👌🏻
Not a big fan of Venezuela gowns particularly the ones worn by Dayana (MU 2008) and Stefania (MU 2009) which I think was designed by Gionni Straccia. Puerto Rico's metal chain gown by Carlos Alberto in MU2006 is still the most iconic so far between 2001 and 2010 because it was so ahead of its time, though I must add that Russia's white wedding dress by Tom Ford in MU2002 would have Zuleyka run for her money. Between 2011 and 2020, the Philippines' red lava gown in MU2018 is the most 'noticeable' by far. The most 'fashionable' for me would be Ukraine's red organza drapes by Zuhair Murad in MU2014.
Interesting review. But, gowns such as Puerto RIco's 2006 masterpiece (in my opinion the best of all your review) is very similar to Cher's 1989 Oscar gown; and Venezuela's 2018 gown is a direct knock off of Cher's nude dress for the Met Gala back in the 70s. Cher's nude dress has inspired many gowns in runways and at pageants as you can see from a few dresses noted on your review.
Michael Cinco a filipino designer was the designer behind the gown of Ms. Canada 2018.. who designed the gown of Pia Wurtzbach during her Final Walk.
The only gown that I remembered was Ms Ukraine 2014 and Ms Philippines 2018! Both very memorable gowns.
The way she explained how she make the decisions is so witty. Thank you so much
Hahahahahaha...
I love Stefania Fernandez Gown...
Hers is actually my number#1 choice
I am not expecting you gonna put her gown in the list.
I agree with the TOP 3..
I think the best evening gown walk was made by Stefania Fernandez in 2009. She was a little thin for comfort but she looked and walked like a real queen in the finals with that beautiful red gown and lipstick .
I really like your contents ever since I subscribed to your channel.😊😊 God bless your channel
Zuleika's for me is still the most impactfull gown performance in MU history
This is my number 1 even if I'm from Philippines, Zuleykas gown is the most memorable in MU history. (for me)
Yes!!! Zozibini's dress was DEFINITELY better than Catriona's!!!
I love Iris when I saw her in that gown, I knew she was going to win, she was radiant and she is lovely, charismatic one of my favorite Miss Universe of all time.
I personally think pia should be on there! Her gown was unique and it stands out unlike the other contestants
You have lovely, wonderful taste, more than I agree with all of your choices, you convinced me the list is the most legit of this kind...
It was not Colombia in 2008, it was Venezuela
