10 Most Memorable Answers in Miss Universe Paving the Way for Their Victory

1. Miss Universe 2000 (Lara Dutta, India)

Question: “Right now there is a protest going on right outside here calling the Miss Universe Pageant disrespectful of women. Convince them they are wrong.”

Answer: “I think pageant… I think pageants like the Miss Universe pageant gives us young women a platform to foray in the fields that we want to and forge ahead, be it entrepreneurship, be it the armed forces, be it politics. It gives us a platform to voice our choices and opinions, and makes us strong, independent that we are today.”

Lara has totally changed the game in Miss Universe. Since her victory, being smart became sort of a requirement to win a pageant. Her response to the final question was flawless and she easily walked away with the crown after that. She went on to do more meaningful things after her reign. In short, her response was not just a spur of the moment answer, but was really from the heart. She really believed in the power of women in transforming the society.

Although we have heard of cringe worthy responses in Miss Universe, it is nice seeing that a lot of those who have taken the title home did well during the q and a round. Some of them even managed to give an answer that empowered women and gave them bigger voices.
