The 2015 Miss Universe Pageant is just around the corner and there is so much in store for this year's event! From the world's most gorgeous contestants, to A-list performers and a slew of celebrity hosts and judges, the night is bound to be an exciting one as these glamorous, empowered and confident women show the world that they have what it takes to make real changes and be true to themselves.
The mission of the Miss Universe Pageant is to provide tools to help women be their personal best self. It's all about self-confidence and being able to stand up for yourself in any given situation because that's what truly makes you beautiful. It's an organization run by women for women, to celebrate diversity, break stereotypes, give back to those in need and bring positive changes into this world. It's so much more than just beautiful women posing in bikinis, and that's what the organization is all about: proving that beauty is what's on the inside.
Last year, Paulina Vega, 22, from Colombia won the Miss Universe title after she impressed the judges when asked what women can learn from men by answering that men who champion equality are good ones to follow. Not only is Vega beautiful, but she is smart, passionate about what she believes in, has a great sense of humor and is inspirational - which is exactly what they're looking for when crowning Miss Universe.
It's only a matter of time before we find out who the 2015 winner is.
This year's Miss USA is 27-year-old blonde beauty Olivia Jordan from Tulsa, Okla. Jordan is a model and actress who graduated from Boston University and is an advocate for Children of the Night, a group dedicated to getting U.S. children out of prostitution. She was also the 2015 host for the Oklahoma Chapter Alzheimer's Association Memory Gala, for which she helped raise over $2 million.
Her goal is equality for all and acceptance and love of all people, and she will represent the United States in the Miss Universe pageant this year.
This year's pageant will be hosted by talk show and game show host Steve Harvey and actress Roselyn Sanchez, while Charlie Puth, Seal and The Band Perry will be putting on very special performances throughout the night.
The telecast judges this year are former NFL player Emmitt Smith, actress Niecy Nash, former Miss Universe winner Olivia Culpo and popular blogger Perez Hilton. The preliminary judges are Erika Albies, Erin Brady, Julio Caro, Keiko Uraguchi, Nichelle Turner, Rocky Motwani and Zak Soreff.
