After the swimsuit portion of the Miss Universe 2018 competition, the Top 10 contestants changed into evening gowns to compete one last time before the next round of cuts.
Though the women have already competed in swimwear and evening gown presentations during the preliminary competition, those scores do not carry over to the top 10. This will be the second time they walk in evening gowns in front of the judges, but the women have the option to wear something different than what they wore during the preliminaries.
After the top 20 semifinalists were announced, each woman had to prepare and present a personal statement to the audience and judges. Those personal statements influenced the next cut, from 20 down to 10. The other 84 national title-holders also walked the runway in their evening gown selections, each having their moment on stage with their “sisters” once again.
