MU: 1 contestant dropped out of the semi-finals, Miss Malaysia made people laugh with her unique spin

On the morning of November 15, the Miss South Africa organization announced that the country's representative - Mia le Roux - stopped competing in Miss Universe 2024, right when the semi-finals were taking place.

"We are deeply saddened to share the news that Mia Le Roux, Miss South Africa 2024, has withdrawn from the Miss Universe pageant due to health reasons.

Mia has shown incredible courage and grace throughout this difficult time. Her health and well-being is our top priority, and we are standing by her side, dedicated to ensuring she regains her strength and health. Our hearts go out to her as she takes the necessary steps to recover,” said Miss South Africa.

As for the beauty queen, the model said she was grateful for the support she received from everyone during her time at the Miss Universe house. The decision to stop competing was extremely difficult for her. Mia le Roux said she would focus on recovering her health and continuing to contribute good values to the country.

Throughout the history of Miss Universe, representatives from South Africa have always been considered one of the heavyweights thanks to their attractive physique, fluent English speaking ability and intelligent thinking on community issues. The country's most recent achievements are Miss Universe 2019 by Zozibini Tunzi and Miss Universe 2017 by Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters.

Back to the competition, the semi-finals of Miss Universe 2024 have officially taken place in Mexico. After the national costume competition, the contestants quickly entered the swimsuit performance.

If previously in the national costume competition, Malaysian beauty Sandra Lim satisfied the audience with her eye-catching sword dance, then in the swimsuit competition, she "transformed" into a comedian, making netizens unable to stop laughing.

Accordingly, as soon as she stepped onto the stage, Sandra Lim continuously performed spins to show off her figure. However, right before the end of the performance, instead of spinning, Sandra Lim performed a "unique" hip spin like no other.

The Malaysian beauty's hip rotation made the audience burst out laughing. Netizens continuously left comments saying that Sandra Lim seemed to want to create a highlight in her performance. However, this performance of the beauty was commented as being exaggerated, overdone and somewhat uncool.

Sandra Lim was crowned Miss Universe Malaysia 2024. The beauty received much attention when she participated in the movie "Mone.y Games", collaborating with many Chinese stars. The beauty is 1m77 tall, 23 years old this year. She stands out with her beautiful, sharp face, attractive figure and confident demeanor.

The 73rd Miss Universe will take place at Arena CDMX, Mexico, with the participation of 127 contestants - the largest number in the history of the competition, surpassing the record of 94 contestants in 2018. This event marks the first time Miss Universe has returned to Mexico since 2007. The Miss Universe 2024 final will be held in Mexico, at 8:00 a.m. on November 17 (Vietnam time).

From Mexico, Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 runner-up Vu Thuy Quynh shared with the media the vibrant and bustling atmosphere before the semi-final night. She said that Mexico City is currently experiencing a "super traffic jam" due to the large number of people flocking to the contest area, especially near Arena CDMX, where the upcoming semi-final and final nights will take place. Thuy Quynh said that both locals and international visitors are excited to join in the atmosphere of the event.

Accompanying Ky Duyen in Mexico this year are National Director Huong Ly, President of Miss Universe Vietnam Valentine Tran, runner-up Vu Thuy Quynh and beauty Ha Kino.
