This past Sunday, the world received a new Miss Universe, Paulina Vega, 22, from Colombia. This is the pageant’s 63rd year, and evening wear has changed much over that time. We can always count on these 88 amazing ladies to keep us up to date on the latest trends.
Some of the most notable dresses in top 10 contestants were from Australia, Jamaica, USA, and Argentina.

From these dresses, we can tell that jewel tone colors are very in, especially red hues. Body hugging dresses and skin exposure/cut-outs are also a new fashion statement. And, as always, stones, beading and sparkle are something every girl loves and are very prominent in these gowns.
Colors from the white family have also become popular in evening wear. It’s a color that complements everyone whether it is cream, ivory, or stark white. A glittering effect is also very present among the white colored dresses.

These are some other ladies with evening gowns that did not make it into the top ten, but still stood out from the crowd and had a wow factor. Here, we can see the reoccurring trend of bold jewel tones, sparkle, slim fit, and hints of skin that helped these women rock their evening wear!
