The Miss Universe 2014 Preliminaries just concluded Wednesday night in Miami, but the cheers and yells of the candidates’ fans from their home countries is bound to continue for the final pageant night on January 25, 2015. All of Miss Universe 2014 contestants did well in the preliminaries.
Miss Universe is home to the world’s most beautiful and talented ladies, and predicting who will win is very hard with the very tight competition. Venezuela’s Gabriela Isler is set to crown her successor, but could it be another Latina to reign as Miss Universe 2014?
The probability is high. Since the conception of Miss Universe pageant in 1952, there were 21 Latinas who bagged the title with Venezuela leading the Latin countries with 6 wins. Puerto Rico comes second with 5, while Colombia makes a mark in a different category; winning best National Costume for 6 times, the highest number any county has won.
This year, there are also two half Latinas to join the list! Miss USA Nia Sanchez also have Latin roots with her paternal grandfather being Mexican while Miss Switzerland Zoe Metthez is half Dominican.
We got photos of Miss Universe 2014 Latina contenders, and if you haven’t casted your vote yet, you might make a decision after seeing these beauties.

Among the Miss Universe 2014 contestants, these Latina ladies are definitely dazzling on-stage as they strutted in their swimwear, evening gown, and national costume in the preliminaries. They got the beauty, the walk, the confidence, and the intellect to deserve the Miss Universe 2014 title, just the same as the other contestants. Nothing is certain as of this moment aside from the fact that the final night will surely bring lots of twists on the competition.
