Miss Universe-Philippines Ariella Arida was a stand-out during the Miss Universe 2013 preliminary competition which happened November 5 (November 6, MLA time) at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow, Russia.
Ara Arida effectively worked the crowd with her signature strut (the Arriba Walk) during the swimsuit competition wearing a red Yamamay two piece swimsuit. Meanwhile, Ara was very elegant in a yellow Barraza creation during the evening gown presentation.
With Ara's sterling performance during the Miss Universe 2013 preliminaries (the swimsuit and evening gown rounds, including the interviews which she herself felt happy about), a Top 5 finish all the way to the crown is not at all impossible.
