So I watched this a little while ago, and finally got around to blogging about it...
Miss Universe 2013, as the 61st Miss Universe Pageant, was held in Planet Hollywood- The centerpiece of the bustling Las Vegas Strip, Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.
The show started off with the red carpet arrivals which amongst others included a very handsome Nigel Barker, and a flawless Scott Disick, and the glamourous ladies included Ximena Navarrete and Kerri Walsh Jennings, who flashed off her baby bump on the red carpet. Not to forget the main man himself- Mr. Donald Trump, also charmed the paps on his tour down the red carpet.
