Miss Teen Mundial 2021: who will be the successor of Sushmita Singh?

Miss Teen Mundial backstage, during the rehearsals for tonight´s big final show!

After almost a week of harmony and fair play among candidates, their families, stylists, national directors, and organizers of the Miss Teen Mundial contest, the time has come to elect Sushmita Singh's successor: who will be Miss Teen Mundial?

Francisco Cortez, the creator and producer of Miss Teen Mundial, and Sushmita Singh, who came all the way from India just to crown her successor!

There were many catwalk shows, challenges, casual events, recording and photo sessions as part of an intense program, however, it was at the preliminary gala that some candidates really started to show their best and stood out. This is our analysis, keeping in mind that we did not witness the very important preliminary interviews (which could change easily turn things around!):

Bolivia - Cecília Hoss is very photogenic and a real teenager! Her best moment was when recording for the opening segment in national costumes, when he showed a lot of power and attitude!

Brazil - Yasmin Teles delivered a flawless preliminary presentation! Not even the language barrier has prevented her from shinning from the first day of competition.

Canada - Maya Caron has a delightful personality, being the kind of girl who enjoys making new friends and helping them out whenever needed. She has a lovely smile!

Colombia - Valentina Osorio has impressed everyone with her magnificent stage presence. She is a very natural beauty.

Costa Rica - Lindsay Arce has “teen” written all over her! We love her sparkling personality, beautiful hair and presentations full of energy!

Curaçao - Shaqira Noor has the right attitude and a great team behind her! This beautiful young Caribbean lady has been doing everything right from the very beginning.

Dominican Republic - It is hard to believe that Camila Polanco is just 14 years old! She sets the stage on fire and gets all eyes on her when she is walking the runway! Very strong.

El Salvador - Alexia Pacheco has not only been a gracious host delegate, but also a very competitive candidate! We hope to see her competing in Miss Supranational or in Miss Grand International in the near future.

Guatemala - Keep an eye on Jenifer Cortéz tonight! Her performance has been very solid all the way and we believe that she is in the fight for the crown.

Honduras - After a late arrival, the representative of Honduras has been doing her best to catch up and represent her country well. She is lovely.

India - Amisha Thakkar has one of the most impressive faces of the competition and was the winner of the Best National Costume Award. We loved her evening gown presentation!

Mayan Riviera - Camila Escobedo is a very bright and a committed young woman, who at the age of 16 is already attending college! Impressive. We find her to be very elegant and friendly as well.

Mexico - Trisha Gaytán is another major favorite for the crown, with plenty of charisma and perhaps the best figure of the competition! She speaks English fluently and is very outspoken and congenial!

Nicaragua - Ashley Vargas is another “bomb” on the runway, always displaying the right amount of energy and charisma. We just loved her national costume performance!

Panama - Wow! When Andrea Peralta steps on the stage, you just can´t miss her! This statuesque Panamanian beauty has made herself noticed all the way through in the competition.

Paraguay - Maria Eugenia Godoy certainly deserved the “Miss Elegance” title! She is among the best-dressed candidates in the group and has that classic and natural beauty many people appreciate seeing in beauty pageants.

Peru - Solana Costa is for many “the one to beat” in tonight´s competition. This very stunning delegate has a great national organization behind her and certainly knows what she´s doing. She could be the next Miss Teen Mundial!

Portugal - Joana Salvador has been doing so well! Natural, elegant, and with some great stage presence (and one of the best evening gowns), we believe Portugal could take it all!

Puerto Rico - Davixa Aponte competed strongly in the Preliminary Gala, with elegance and some strong stage presence. We expect Puerto Rico to do well.

Spain - Teresa Reyes has been showing a consistent participation in Miss Teen Mundial. Her posture when walking the runway is quite impressive!

Uruguay - What we love the most about Oriana Sanguinetti is that she is clearly enjoying herself and having a fantastic experience in El Salvador. She has a great personality!

USA - With the face of a Hollywood actress and clearly being 100% comfortable in her own skin, Alexia Aguirre has been shinning from the beginning! With her delightful personality, we are not surprised that she was voted Miss Congeniality by her fellow contestants.

The truth is that it is a great and strong group and Global Beauties wishes them all the best of luck tonight and much success in the future!

Miss Teen Mundial 2021 will be crowned tonight, at 8 PM local time, and you can watch it live on its Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MissTeenMundial.
