Miss Universe 1994- Evening Gown Competition

Manila, Philippines- May 20,1994

[@0312chiza]

I think this is the only Miss Universe competition in the entire history that had elegant and beautiful gowns plus gorgeous and stunning top ten.

[@haybolrambol5001]

yes exactly!

[@jacob-ni6jr]

2006 had great contestants

[@candybelle]

i was here! ^^ i was one of those little girls. I was with miss romania tho. ^^ good memories.

[@suhylatonse1735]

Wow!! That's awesome

[@dreemsaragon3544]

Ano pala role Nyo jan Dati???

[@haybolrambol5001]

wow nice! anong country ang sash mo that time?

[@uncchristine99]

Wow... Miss Colombia! Is that the highest score ever? She is so beautiful... the dress is great because it's so different from everyone else.

[@haybolrambol5001]

She just lost to Sushmita in the Interview

[@tapomitamallick3637]

Exactly

[@hermespty]

I dont know how many times have i seen this video JUST TO SEE THE AWESOME PRESENTATION OF MINORKA MERCADO (MISS VENEZUELA) WITH HER WHITE GOWN... ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@pabloaristobulorodriguezro6123]

I dont know how many times have i seen this video JUST TO SEE THE AWESOME PRESENTATION OF CAROLINA GOMEZ (MISS COLOMBIA) WITH HER BLACK & WHITE GOWN... ABSOLUTELY TOP IN THE M.U. STORY!!! (Gracias por ahorrarme escribir)

[@LennyLi888]

I dont know why they pulled this tradition away starting 1995. this atmosphere with little sisters is really classic.

[@christn6560]

i think it was when Trump bought the rights that the tradition was pulled away. he had a different idea of women...apparently, a woman with a heart was not one of them.

[@LennyLi888]

Chris Cruz in general, I don't like business men because they just play games to benefit themselves. There's often an element of bad ethics and lack of integrity. But now USA has bought into trumps sales pitch, the whole world is watching his destructive plans. Running a government is not the same as running a business

[@SunnyDuttaRoy-ou6ue]

plz they r children ..they are more obedient than us..

[@anonymoustvmedia]

this evening gown comp is absolutely perfect over all. perfect timing in musical score. kids are great. top 10 are absolutely stunning. and the stage is amazing.

[@GEOSH328]

Miss Colombia looked just incredible with that dress.

[@eMCizzle1]

Italy = Little Black Riding Hood. Gorgeous, and nice catwalk!

[@kmalston]

eMCizzle1 Agreed, can't keep my eyes off her.

[@benvale4887]

*Is 2021 and Congratulations to Miss Italy 1994 for wearing a classic example of Timeless Black Gown. Today is still making strides as one of the Best Black Dresses in Miss Universe herstory.*

[@gavo1201]

I think Italy deserved to be top 6. Love Miss India!

[@Robergalv]

I think this has been one of the highest rated miss universe evening gown competition since the lowest score is 9.618, that's good compared with the currently miss universe evening gown scores, and I also think this is the fairest score to every contestant since the most beautiful and stunning women were: Colombia, Venezuela and Phillipines as well as India.

[@rayfab22]

wow..this is the best evening gown competition of all miss universe pageants. excellent stage, cutest of all little sisters, and of course, the best top 10 ever strutting their evening gowns in the very best manner.

[@rilakkumamiguel8052]

I love the hoodie gown of Miss Italy. Very classy.

[@kmalston]

Rilakkuma Miguel I watched this when I was little live. She was SLAMMING!

[@kmalston]

Rilakkuma Miguel Can that be rocked today?

[@justinbonagua]

The gowns are incredibly modern. If they walk the ramp now, you wouldn't think they wore that 20 years ago.

[@manuelpino3107]

miss colombia Carolina gomez la mejor de ese miss universo de lejos su traje de coronación el más bello nunca antes visto y que puntaje el más alto 9897 inalcanzable e insuperable y con récord.... lástima que no mostraron el puntaje del hermoso traje de gala que es toda una obra de arte esculpido y diseñado para una verdadera belleza de mujer colombiana la miss universo paulina vega de seguro es otro récord para colombia

[@minorka99]

Ms. Italy, beautiful gown

[@jlemere]

I think this is the best top 10 in evening gown ever in the history of Miss Universe. Just WOW - every one is incredibly strong.

[@spoyledbratt]

Italy looks fab!

[@genre475]

so classy, too elegant evening gown segment... give me chills everytime i watch this.

[@preciousjey]

the last time the little miss universes were used i miss that song

[@wikoli-kuloloniele-kapalam2779]

It was 1995, the last time Little Sisters were used in the Evening Gown segment

[@Bolt_PlaysRobloxYT]

really love Ms. India and Ms. Colombia...look at how they hold their little sisters at the end of the video..it really shows their awesome personalities...I hope they were both crowned Miss Universe that year...but of course, there can only be one winner in every pageant...haha

[@OCEDNO]

What beautiful girls!!! really georgeus. An extremely closed competition, the better answer of miss India set the difference on the final result, Miss India deserved to win, it is just simple

[@haybolrambol5001]

Those kids there are now in the age of 30's while those deligates are now in the age of 50's. Time flies so fast

[@diegolapar]

......to see that small girl waving into the camera (although I know she isn't sad). But it really was like my own child was waving at me. And here comes the best part.....I think I'm going to cry again......while I was constantly repeating the part from 1:36 I was trying to see what country was written on her sash. First I thought I saw Bulgaria or Sri Lanka, but while I was watching it all over again.....I saw that it was.........Suriname. And that's the best part...........I am from Suriname.

[@SthenoCratolagnia]

I'm looking for it too. I love this song and it's like Miss Universe Theme to me. Unfortunately, they don't include it in the pageant anymore. What a shame.

[@stylestar07]

I love that Italy brought fashion to the evening gown.. she was modeling that dress.. and Miss USA reminds me of linda carter a.k.a wonder woman... the whole group that year were very gorgeous!!!!

[@robinquinc329]

You don't have to be well versed in fashion to know what you like. I agree with you... Miss Italy's gown was and still would be considered beautiful, along with that of Venezuela.

[@lexlib]

Greece was one of my favorite that year. Too bad it all came crashing on her during finals night especially when she topped both evening gown and swimsuit segment during the prelims.

[@haybolrambol5001]

Me too! of course aside from our own Miss Philippines, I also like Greece, she has the most beautiful face during the parade of nation

[@smap0416]

i a hundred percent agree that the miss universe 1994 was one of the best in history of beauty pageants. it was a headachelike and hard decision to evaluate ten semi-finalists. now that i've watched the show 13years ago, they are still beautiful with even the old fashioned costume.

[@eisujanberusabaru]

This one happens only in the Philippines.The candidates seems to be friendly to children. I am proud to be a filipino. I never saw again such thing in the Miss Universe pageant! the Pageant in the Philippines is the most memorable one.

[@anonymoustvmedia]

this MU evening gown competition was so perfect. timing. elegant gowns. bubbly ladies. well trained little sisters. amazing ambiance and backdrop. This was also a current record holder of Miss Universe highest televised score based from the judges, and that is the evening gown score of Ms Colombia Carolina Gomez which at the end, placed 1st runner up.

[@karoline8524]

yeah .... I love the song being played all through the vedio... can u help me get a source of it to download it ?

[@albhogarc1]

COLOMBIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA eres la mas bella de todos los tiempos

[@TheCalvinChristian]

yup.... I love Miss Italy gown a lot.... look gorgeous. also i love Carolina and Silvia a lot. Silvia's gown also look gorgeous and elegant. Moreover, Carolina looks pretty and glamorous. It seems that after she's wore her pretty evening gown, her glamor is much more than others. =)

[@lolanarvaez1861]

[@jhosalvador3639]

If this evening gown competition would be judged today, Miss Italy would probably get the highest score. The walk, the hands, the gestures, the fierceness --- way ahead of her compatriots.

[@pinoyfromengland]

Sushmita Sen is really adorable. I watched the pageant at PICC and I got to see her in person not only during the competition but also during the post pageant breakfast party. Just put it this was, she edged over Aiswarya during the Femina Miss India then finally wins over Carolina Gomez in Miss U.

[@CarlosMarquez-zo4ln]

Visajosa si era.

[@haybolrambol5001]

buti ka pa. Sana all. hehehe. You saw them all in personal. If I could, I would, but it was very impossible since I was only 14 years old and couldn't go to Manila. LOL

[@rayfab22]

amazing. two girls wear white (venezuela and slovak republic) two black (italy and usa) two gold (philippines and sweden) two turquoise blue (switzerland and greece) and two silver (india and colombia) i've never seen this before. and i doubt it if i'd see it again.

@ViscountPaul its called You are my star. ^^ i used to be one of those liitle girls who sang that song. I was 6 years old then.

[@bry12091]

Too bad for Ms. Colombia. She consistently topped the semifinals but in the end it was the wit of India that outshone her. I like her to win though. :)

[@qafdude]

Did everyone noticed that colors of gowns the candidates wore had 2 of each? If the host called Philippines first before slovak republic, you would notice the arrangement of the candidates according to the color of the gowns they wore. Just an observation.

[@benpogi4ever]

notice how Ms. Slovak Rep and Ms. Switzerland held the heads and hands of their respective little sisters, they were very sincere and sweet. now that's personality and charisma! :)

[@nitinnagar8981]

This year was special as all the top 3 finalist Miss India, Venezuala and Columbia were the top 10 highest scorer in Miss Universe history making it the toughest competition in miss universe ever.

I think miss venezuelas gown is the best as it can crfoss all eras of fashion in pageant from the late 80s to now it is a gown that is very beautiful and she is in a league of her own in the sense that she is statuesque very tall and the look of today i think she was robbed definetly

La mas bella Miss Colombia, y si la historia no miente, el mejor desfile en traje de noche en toda la historia del certamen. Basta ver el rostro de la niña que la entrega la flor, sabe que está ante la más bella. Un comentario adicional, la señorita Italia tiene uno de los trajes de gala más originales y bellos de toda la historia, Arianna David debió quedar en el podio de las 5. Saludos desde Bogotá Colombia.

[@diegolapar]

Okay, guys, this is my third comment. I see that my comments are appearing in reversed order, sorry for that. Really, this is no coincidence. Something made me watch this video and something made me watch that part, 1:36, where the girl was waving, just to see that my country's name is written on her sash. I'm all cried out now. I think I'm going to cry again in a few seconds, because I will watch that part again after I've posted this comment. TO BE CONTINUED! READ MY FOURTH COMMENT!

[@melquiadespabillare7178]

the best evening gown competition in miss universe !!!

[@diegolapar]

Something very amazing just happened. I just literally cried to this video. At 1:36 you see a girl waving into the camera. It was so sweet. It really made me cry. It was like I was seeing my own child waving at me (although I don't have children). And I was repeating and repeating and repeating that part of the video all over again while tears were running out of my eyes: it really was sweet, heartwarming, overwhelming and sad to see that small girl waving...TO BE CONTINUED!

I have to say that Carolina gave thebest answers when the final question was asked... Colombia was 1st runner up for 3 years in a row and no country has ever done that... With the exception of Venezuela being 1st runner up in 1997, 1998, 2000, 2002... this proves to you that Latin Women are strong and very beautiful...

Many countries send delegates to Miss World and not to Miss Universe and vice-versa. Lebanon is an "Arab" nation, but that doesn't mean there are people with other religious beliefs there. They have actually won Miss Universe in the past. Indonesia had a semifinalista at Universe in 2005.

Uno de los mejores top 10 de la historia. Miss Colombia tiene una de las presentaciones en traje de noche más increíbles de la historia del concurso. Miss Venezuela muy hermosa, pero algo apagada, le faltó chispa. Miss India es hermosa, pero no era la más bella, su simpatía y gracia la hizo ganadora. Miss Italia, es hermosísima, no sé cómo no pasó a la siguiente ronda. Mis lugares: MU: Colombia 1st: Slovak Rep. 2nd: Italy Top 6: India, Venezuela y Grecia.

anyone noticed that this is THE FIRST TIME during the evening gown segment that the delegates did NOT wear their sash? By 1998, they didn't wear their sash on both swimsuit and evening gown competitions. In 2001, it would be worn only during the interview segments and finalists' segments.

[@PungiFungi]

An educated person would not try to imply any form of bias when there isn't. Noted that the lowest score Mona Grudt gave to was also a European. It is telling that you didn't point out that Zapata consistently gave the highest scores to the Latinas. I guess THAT is ok, huh?

I agree. Sadly, both Misses Greece and Italy didn't carry their gowns well.

[@qafdude]

actually, the this is the last year that the little sisters sang this song and the last year to have little sisters part of the pageant was 1995. I still think this is the best part of every Miss Universe pageant. TRUMP should bring back this long tradition that every Miss Universe viewer looks forward to each year.

I agree, Miss universe nowdays it is just a catwalk. Just beautiful girls without a little brain. Miss universe 1994 was full of gorgeous and smart girls. The semifinals were really beauty. I think this is one of the best miss universe edition. India, Colombia and Venezuela were very closed in competition. India answered the question a little better than Colombia, this was the reason of her success
