The 9 Winners of the ‘Top Model of the World’ Competition in El Gouna

This weekend, the Top Model of the World graced El Gouna with a coronation ceremony to remember. With 48 girls representing countries from all over the world, including Egypt, the crowd at the Ancient Sands venue in El Gouna enjoyed a energetic night full of beautiful, multi-cultural contestants, cat walking, music, and lighting that would make your heart pound with excitement. In order to qualify for the competition, each participant had to win the Top Model of the World competition in their home country.

The ceremony began with pre-recorded introductions from each contestant, projected to the audience on large screens. Each contestant then cat walked down the aisle dressed in a local costume representing her country of origin.

The first competition was for the title of “Best Body Model”, which was won by the contestant from Canada.

Judges narrowed down the 48 girls to 15, naming Puerto Rico, Colombia, Canada, Spain, Brazil, Venezuela, Trinidad & Tobago, Mongolia, Ukraine, Malta, Hondorus, Argentina, Bahamas, Baltic Sea and Zambia as the semi-finalists.

After the next cat walk, five finalists were announced to compete for the top 3 spots: Brazil, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Ukraine and Bahamas. Each girl was asked to answer the question, “Why do you think you should become the next Top Model of the World?”

Finally, the moment of truth came. All 48 contestants were called back to the stage, and winners were announced. The title of “Most Photogenic” went to Italy, “Queen of Europe” (designating the top contestant representing a European country) went to Baltic Sea, and “Miss Global” went to Brazil.

Out of the top five, “second runner up” went to Venezuela, “runner up” went to Bahamas, and the title of “Top Model of the World” went to Ukraine.

WE SAID THIS: Congratulations to the winners and all contestants! We’re looking forward to next year’s competition.
