It was almost – but not quite – a back-to-back win for a Filipina in Miss Universe 2014. When the dust settled, Chanel Beckenlehner nosed out Fil-Canadian Kesiah Papasin for the title and had to be contend with a 1st Runner-Up placement.
Up to the last seconds prior to announcement, the big win was still up in the air as anyone among the last two women standing could top the field and get the crown from last year’s Riza Santos. It was simply Chanel’s night after that. At any rate, Kesiah (who trained with KF here two years ago) was more than happy for her.
Chanel is now looking at Miss Universe 2014 and should meet up with our very own MJ Lastimosa later this year.

Kinda separate note but just curious kuya Norms… have you noticed how Miss USA is 12 days away but still no Fadil Berisha glamshots? I feel like ever since Miss Universe 2012, the org has been procrastinating, I guess because they figured out they can pull it off in such a short time? I hope they don’t do the same with this years miss universe… I think I’m really gonna closely follow this year. I think MJ has a great chance!
Actually, their photos on the website are already the Fadil Berisha glam shots.
really?!?! They do not look uniform, and I do not seem to see a common theme. IE: compare Miss Kentucky vs Miss Maine… 2 very different aesthetic. And the evening gown and swimsuit portraits are still not on, that’s why I thought these aren’t the Fadil shots yet.
Not impressed with Chanel’s Q&A answer, and was quite surprised that she won.
Sayang naman, dapat si Kesiah nanalo dahil kung nagkataon dalawang pinay trained by KF ang maglalaban sa Ms. U :p hmm sana mali na naman yung tabulation just like last year hehehe
Eh baka mali ulet ang announcement parang kay Riza lang. Hehe
Sana ma-dethrone. Hahaha BAD. 😛
LOL. No comment na muna ang peg ko.
Almost near, pero ok lang, iba talaga ang mga filipina ngayon, mas na ki critics nila ang filipina beauty,
