A 24-year-old LaSalle graduate was crowned the latest Miss Universe Singapore during the beauty pageant’s grand finals on Wednesday evening (11 October).
Manuela Blanka Bruntraeger beat 19 other contestants to the title, after four different segments that included the swimsuit, evening gown and Q&A.
She walked away with a $10,000 cash prize, and other gifts amounting to $50,000. She will also be representing Singapore in the international round on 26 November in Las Vegas (Nevada, USA).
Bruntraeger comes from mixed parentage – her mother is Eurasian while her father is Caucasian – and was also crowned Miss Earth Singapore in 2016.
Meanwhile, the first and second runner-up titles were awarded to pricing analyst Rudihra Ramanathas, 26, and
NAFA graduate Emilbiany Nenggal Intong, 18, respectively.
