Miss Universe 2005

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Miss Universe 2005 Pageant was held in Bangkok, Thailand on May 31, 2005, to help the tsunami-struck nation win tourists back to the area. China and Chile also bid, but failed, to host the contest. Miss Universe Canada, Natalie Glebova was crowned Miss Universe 2005 by Miss Universe 2004, Jennifer Hawkins of Australia. The top fifteen was dominated by contestants from the Americas and Caribbean, whilst the top five consisted entirely of such women. The winner is a Canadian citizen, but she is Russian by birth, only moving to Canada at age 12.
