Miss World 2012: Queenierich Rehman Makes it to Top 10 World Fashion Designer Award

Miss World Philippines Queenierich Rehman made it to the Top 10 World Fashion Designer Award, one of the challenge events in the Miss World 2012 happening in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China.

The great news was shared by Queeneierich Rehman, herself via her official Miss World Facebook page. Queenie, on her recent post confirmed the news and asked for our prayers for the big event happening tonight.

"waaaaaah!!!!! im in the top 10 of the designers award..tom is a big day..please pray for me and lets accept what God has to offer me tom...=)"

For the Designer's Showcase (held July 26 in Shanghai, China), Queenierich Rehman wore a stunning red gown made by Dubai-based Filipino designer Michael Cinco (one of those great fashion designers featured in America's Next Top Model).

Other contestants who made it to the Top 10 Designer Awards were Misses Barbados, Sweden, Ukraine, Bolivia, Spain, Puerto Rico, Peru, Hungary and the Bahamas.

Just recently, Queenierich Rehman made it to world headlines following her unconventional talent showcase in the Miss World 2012 talent finals where she wowed the world with her beatboxing skills, the very first in the history of the said pageant. Queenie's beatboxing video in the talent finals went viral and even appeared on websites such as the Times, MSN news site, Daily Mail UK and Huffington Post.

That unique showcase (which turned the whole world's attention to Miss World 2012) landed Queenierich a spot in the Top 5 Miss Talent, the winner of which will be announced at the grand coronation tonight (August 18), together with the announcement of the winners in other pageant events.

Let's hope that Queenie's performance in the pre-pageant events will earn her an automatic spot in the Top 15 semifinalist on her way to clinching that elusive Miss World crown.

Miss World 2012, according to their official website, will be broadcast on TV-5 August 18 at 7:30 PM.

Video: Queenierich Rehman Beatboxing on Miss World 2012 Talent Finals

Miss World Philippines Queenierich Rehman made it to the Top 5 Miss Talent of Miss World 2012 after she wowed the audience with her beatboxing skills.

Queenierich, wearing a slinky black fringed catsuit sang the opening lines of Rocketeer before rolling the beat, making everyone in the audience go wild and crazy.

Miss World found Queenierich Rehman's talent unique for a beauty queen and her amazing showcase was the very first in the pageant's history, an act that will topple that of the other members of the Top 5 -- Misses China, Panama, Norway and Jamaica who sang, if not danced.

Let's hope that Queenierich will be chosen as the one to perform her talent during the grand coronation night this August 18 (to be televised on TV-5) and if all things go right, will eventually join the semifinalists and bring home the elusive Miss World crown.

Here is the beatboxing performance that brought Miss World Philippines Queenierich Rehman on Top 5 Miss Talent list:

Pageant analysts and fanatics, even her co-contestants were also stunned with the red Michael Cinco creation she wore in the Designer's showcase (and finally, Miss World released her photo on the runway wearing the said gown, which was one of those 13 missing photos when Miss World posted the pictures for public).

Quenee’s continued stellar performance in the pageant gives Filipinos hope that she will win the highly-coveted Miss World crown.
