Miss USA's evening gown is so amazing and timeless that it can be worn today.....

[@EdmundSookermany]

Exactly she was the best

[@fazvanderwoodsen2913]

Miss Singapore Straight hair is so current now in 2020, so different from the rest of the big hairs. Also, Miss Venezuela Gown is quite relevant now.

[@jamestay8222]

Miss Singapore, we (Singapore) can't find another fine delegants like her since then.

[@radenaditya7396]

[@lilytsui3015]

Yes Singapore is stunning! She should’ve made top 5

[@rodelreyes2165]

yeah, oriental beauty, very rare

Miss Singapore was an absolute doll.

[@jeffreye.johnson7213]

Watching the Miss Uiverse 1983 Pageant again and again, and Miss New Zealand Lorraine Downes´ quiet competitive nature throughout the competiton is just great. Charming personality, poise, grace, humility and intelligence gave her the crowning success of becoming Miss Universe 1983!

[@carolinajara8071]

Nada sobreactuada como las actuales competidoras. Piensan que colocando caras sensuales forzadas arrazaran, se ha perdido la elegancia.

Miss Singapore's hair is stunning for the 80s

Excellent quality video. Congratulations! Thank you for uploading it.

Así es. Paola Ruggeri era una ex campeona nacional de natación que llegó a participar en las olimpiadas de Montreal. Paola provenia de una familia italiana radicada en Venezuela. Antes del Miss Universo ganó en Lima el Miss Sudamerica 83 donde arrasó por su porte y elegancia, superando a rivales muy lindas. Muchos dicen que la perjudicó en el M.U el hecho de dos venezolanas ganadoras tan recientes. A treinta años de su reinado se le sigue viendo guapisima y muy natural por el este de Caracas .

[@guestaccount4278]

y si que lo es es bellisima con mucho porte y muy elegante.

[@maribethguzman1368]

Pueas la niña que gano era la mas hermosa

[@TheMartirdz]

Era una rival muy fuerte y preparada la misma miss nueva zelandia lo dijo en una entrevista

[@luizvieyra3210]

Concordo totalmente.... Era sem dúvida a mais bonita e natural de todas as competidoras... Acredito que foi uma das mais lindas Miss Venezuela de todos os tempos..

[@zenash80]

Paola, very pretty, and the most beautiful, and very elegant, once again Venezuela should have won. Because they always present great delegates, prepared, elegant and fantastic women, congratulations to Venezuela!!!

[@guestaccount4278]

I loved Miss Usa and Miss Venezuela!

[@radenaditya7396]

Miss Singapore evening gown looked similar to the one Celine Dion's gown when she performed in Billboard's 2019. Nice. Big tapered shoulders is baaacck! 😀

[@oscarsalinas7478]

Yo creo que está fue la época de oro del Miss Universo...actualmente el espectáculo da la impresión que lo hacen en una galera...ningún escenario como los de las épocas anteriore

[@NareshKumar-pc8yb]

Miss New Zealand in 1983 was the first contestant to assigned a little sister.. Miss USA in 1995 was the last candidate to walk with a little sister.. Interestingly both won the title..

[@alexsdb9712]

It was Miss Wales at the 1979 Miss Universe pageant that was the first to be greeted and walked by a little sister.

[@johnorlando9839]

While 1979 did have the girls greet each contestant with flowers, they were not Little Sisters.

[@jacob-ni6jr]

This is one of the best groups facially to look at ❤️

[@carolinajara8071]

La presentación en traje de noche era tan hermosa y emotiva antiguamente , ni aparente ahora que colocan música que ni emociona. Las niñas acompañando a las mises es algo que deberían repetir nuevamente.

[@FREDERICKjotoBARRAZA]

Most importantly, the Little Sisters serenaded the 12 semifinalists in the evening gown ¿pcompetition, during the final night of competition, singing a medley of songs including the all-time favorite “You Are My Star,” which appeared several years after the St. Louis pageant -The St. Louis Little Sisters sang, “You Are My Universe,” instead.- The little counterpart of each semifinalist presented the contestant with a flower and escorted her to center-stage. It all started in St. Louis, folks

[@alexanderrangel9408]

Suiza que mujer tan bella!!!

[@JackSanborn]

You are the sunshine of my life That's why I'll always be around, You are the apple of my eye, Forever you'll stay in my heart I feel like this is the beginning, Though I've loved you for a million years, And if I thought our love was ending, I'd find myself drowning in my own tears

[@miguelpm14]

Miss Venezuela, con todo y vestido roto derrochó elegancia y clase, mereció llegar al top 5 😍💜

[@caseyking0917]

England is absolutely drop dead gorgeous.

[@gugmayuki0824]

I agree , almost all of the semi-finalists will make a good miss universe, particularly miss venezuela, although I think the sipper of her gown is broken thats why she had to cover it with her hand and turn around quickly...poor girl.

[@nestorlovera6465]

Muy Bella Miss Nueva Zelanda, y la miss USA, bellísima, la que faltó en la final fue Miss Venezuela y la causa que en aquella época ocurrió lo de la Devaluación del Bolivar y el país no pago los derechos de transmisión del Certamen y Paola Ruggeri no tuvo el apoyo de Venevisión el canal que tiene la franquicia en Venezuela y por lo tanto la bajaron del cuadro Final y eso se notó a leguas ya que ella punteo desde la preliminar el certamen... lo que si la que ganó y la 1ra finalistas muy lindas, realmente había mujeres hermosas y el concurso se veía majestuoso como espectáculo de 1ra linea

que hermoso desfile en traje de noche, la verdad la produccion ese año fue espectacular y el escenario fue lo maximo, todas se veian hermosas y risueñas, aunque por supuesto como siempre un par de trajes fuera de lugar como el de Ireland esa copa gigante en el cuello parece extraterreste y la de Norway ese traje ni llega a traje de fantasia y mucho menos traje de gala está demasiado runcho y feo. Las mas hermosas en traje de noche sin duda son: USA, Switzerland muy sexi y hermosa.

[@lilytsui3015]

USA was so robbed!! So stunning and the gown looks so sexy and elegant! She should’ve won this year, semifinal swimsuit and evening gown winner. She won the semifinals as well. What were the judges thinking?? Maybe they didn’t want another American Miss Universe that fast? She was robbed

[@dansby37]

I have a feeling that was the case, it was only three years since Shawn Weatherly won Miss Universe at that time, but I can see how the judges were charmed by New Zealand who was always right behind USA in scoring. But boy I did want Julie to win that year, but it wasnt to be. Took another 12 years for another American to win MU.

[@lilytsui3015]

@@dansby37 yes, I think that may played a role. Actually many stunning Miss USAs went on to place first runner up at Miss Universe but many Americans that won were upsets that year.

[@alexsdb9712]

Perhaps Miss New Zealand started to leave a big impression on the judging panel and MU Org. as the pageant stay continued in St. Louis, and then on the finals telecast night with each round. I think as Miss NZ and USA started to move ahead, being up there with Miss USA helped Miss New Zealand because the comparisons started and Miss NZ had this uniqueness, refreshing and maybe even "model" element to her that ended up standing out from Miss USA.

[@mcbo1970]

Miss Venezuela Bellisima

It wasn't Miss Venezuela they applauded so loud. It was the little girl and her bow to the audience they cheered for!!!!

This part of the telecast obviously wasn't well rehearsed -the girls didn't know whether to go left or right and that they were supposed to pause for a moment before exiting so their score could be flashed on the screen simultaneously.

It's 2020 and 1983 was the last time, that we know, Miss USA won EG at MU although Nia Sanchez might have also won EG in 2014.

[@escpat]

Miss Spain is actually quite pretty face-wise but she needed to work on her poses and catwalk. She gave me the impression as if she had no personality or she didn’t care. Maybe she was too nervous. . I guess back in those days, many countries just sent their delegates to compete without giving them much training and preparation.
