The Miss Universe 2012 Preliminary competition happened December 13 (December 14 MLA time) at the Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. The 89 candidates sashayed with their evening gowns and swimsuits all to capture the judges' eyes.
Miss Universe-Philippines Janine Tugonon was glowing even at the start when the candidates got to introduce themselves. She was most applauded in her pink cocktail dress along with Misses Puerto Rico, Mexico and USA.
Janine earlier surprised everyone with her cobra walk wearing a powder blue gown (see photos and video here). She once again captured the world with her radiance wearing a blue Kooey Australia swimsuit.
On December 15 (around 12 noon, Manila time), the candidates will be back on stage to showcase their National Costumes. Meanwhile, here is Janine Tugonon during the preliminary swimsuit competition of Miss Universe 2012.
