Which Miss Universe African Queen rocked the Best National Costume? You Tell Us! See the Contestants in their National Costumes, Swimwear & Evening Gowns

It’s almost here.  The 2012 edition of the Miss Universe competition will take place this Wednesday 19th December 2012 at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, USA.

Just before our African queens vie for the crown with other beauty queens, here are snapshots of them in their national costumes and preliminary competition swimwear and gowns.

Take a look and let us know who you think will bring the crown once again to Africa after Leila Lopes’ history making victory last year.

We are loving the National Costumes! Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania and South Africa’s costumes are our favourites! Let us know yours.
