Miss Universe is 1m66 tall and has a 2-row catwalk, a "slap in the ear" for the fastidiousness of Vietnamese fans

Miss Universe 2012 - Olivia Culpo is like a monument breaking many beauty rules at this world's leading beauty contest. She is only 1m66 tall, her performance skills are extremely bad, but she still excelled in surpassing 88 opponents, winning the noble crown.

Miss Universe 2012 held in the US has named Olivia Culpo - the beauty of the host country that year. Olivia Culpo is also the shortest gir.l ever crowned at the Miss Universe contest in nearly 50 years. This is also interesting because this contest also honored beauties with modest heights. In 1977, the Trinidad & Tobago beauty also won the crown with a height of only 1.66 m. In the 61-year history of Miss Universe, Olivia Culpo is only taller than the other two crowned queens from Colombia (1.58m) and Thailand (1.54m).

Not only is she of modest height, she also looks a bit "inconspicuous" when standing in the middle of a lineup of 89 beautiful girls. Olivia also possesses extremely bad catwalk "skills", to this day fans still refer to this as a legend, the only queen to catwalk in 2 rows and still "level" the crown.

Many controversies broke out as soon as she achieved the highest result in the competition. Most people thought that the results that year were unfair because there were many more outstanding beauties than Olivia, but because she had the advantage of the host country, the crown belonged to her.

However, one thing that cannot be denied is that Olivia possesses an extremely beautiful, gentle and sympathetic face with a kind, shining smile. She was crowned when she was just 20 years old. Although her performance skills are very weak, this beauty's mind and intelligence are no joke. She was appreciated for her well-mannered answers. Throughout the competition, Olivia also performed well, meeting all the criteria set by the competition.

After winning in 2012, she succeeded as a model and MC in her home country. In 2023, Olivia made fans burst into tears when she shared the moment when her boyfriend of 4 years proposed. It is known that Miss Universe 2012 started dating rugby player Christian McCaffrey in May 2019. The two were matched by model Kristen Louelle - Olivia's close friend - and her husband. According to Vogue India , the time spent avoiding the epidemic together in 2020 at McCaffrey's house helped strengthen the relationship. Olivia Culpo said that thanks to that, she is close to her boyfriend's family.

Olivia Culpo, one of the shortest people in the competition, surpassed 88 other contestants to win the Miss Universe crown in her home country.

Miss Universe 2012 became a "monument" in the hearts of "short girls" who aspire to conquer their dream of the crown. Her coronation was like a strong blow to the fastidiousness of Vietnamese beauty fans.

The reason is that Vietnamese fans are always very strict with the girls competing for places in major beauty arenas in the world. As a written rule, many people assume that the runner-up must be 1m70 or taller to have the opportunity to compete internationally. Even being 1m70 tall is criticized as being too short and "falling short" compared to contestants from other countries.

In recent years, one Vietnamese beauty queen who has had to face the most controversy about her height is Miss Universe Vietnam 2022 1st runner-up Thao Nhi Le.

With a modest height of 1m68, Thao Nhi Le was still excellently crowned 1st runner-up. During the time she was competing at Miss Universe Vietnam, Thao Nhi received many mixed opinions and serious criticism from the online community. .

"Crooked legs", "ugly face", "short", "old", "too weak body"... , are the words that appear, attracting attention.

Some of those online accounts believe that Thao Nhi Le cannot enter the top 5, let alone have a chance to enter the world.

However, the truth is that although Thao Nhi has a limited height compared to most beauty contestants, she still possesses a ho.t, healthy body.

What is more important is her behavioral thinking and foreign language ability that can "beautify" any beauty contesting that same year. Not to mention, in 2020, Thao Nhi Le was also the only Vietnamese beauty in the Top 100 most beautiful faces in the world voted by TC Candler.

Thanks to those bright spots, modest height is no longer a minus point for the runner-up. However, once she had gained the trust and love of the audience, Thao Nhi Le regretfully lost her place in the international competition. Many fans even expressed their desire for her to once again fight to win the opportunity to bring pride to Vietnam.
