Rolene Strauss is Miss World 2014, which means that we’ll be enjoying her through 2015–until she crowns Miss World 2015 right before 2016 starts. And we know that Miss World isn’t as big a deal as Miss Universe, but we’re pretty sure that Rolene Strauss is pretty excited. [photo via…]
We’re excited over the 22-year-old Miss South Africa, too. It was good to see the Miss World competition finally wrap up after a lot of months spend under the shadow of the death of Miss Honduras and her sister. One of the new Miss World’s duties will include visiting the site of a school that will be built to honor Maria Jose Alvarado and her sister, Sofía Trinidad Alvarado Muñoz.
Miss United States didn’t do bad, either. Elizabeth Safrit came in third amongst the competition from 121 countries. Rolene is the first Miss South Africa to win the title in 40 years, so that’s a big deal, too–although it’s no surprise that the country with the most Miss Worlds is Venezuela. We’ve saluted lots of beauties from there. Now let’s salute Rolene Strauss, who’s sure ending (or starting) her year on a high note…
