8 Things To Know About The Newly Crowned Miss Universe Singapore

The newest Miss Universe Singapore, Ms Manuela Blanka Bruntraeger, is likely more used to wearing a helmet than a crown.

October 12, 2017

It was a night to remember for Ms Manuela Blanka Bruntraeger, the newly crowned Miss Universe Singapore 2017.

The 24-year-old Lasalle College of the Arts graduate emerged the winner out of 20 finalists at the grand finale of the annual pageant, held last night at Resorts World Sentosa.

“I am in so much shock. I worked really hard for this, and it is something that I dreamt of, so I am very happy to be standing here with this crown on my head. I hope it is because the judges saw my hard work and determination,” she said minutes after her win.

She will go on to represent Singapore at the Miss Universe 2017 pageant in Las Vegas next month.

Here are 8 things to know about the 24-year-old beauty pageant winner as she hails the Singapore flag up high for the nation:

3. She's petite

Manuela stands at 166 centimeters tall. One of the judges said, “she is petite, but her personality shone on stage – her smile, her confidence and the way she walks. You don’t expect a petite girl to walk in such a beautiful evening gown with such grace and confidence. That was the reason we picked her instead of one of the taller girls”.

Manuela took home $10,000 in cash as well as prizes worth $45,000, including treatment and services from local spa Beaute Hub and a smile makeover from Orchard Scotts Dental.

6. Making others happy is her priority

Manuela says the one thing that makes her most happy is the ability to play a role, no matter how big or small, in someone else’s happiness.

7. She is inspired by all women

While Manuela emphasises that there is no one woman that she is inspired by, she draws inspiration from every woman that she meets because they all have unique attributes and qualities.

8. She believes in hard work
image

The message she would like to take onto the world stage is that hard work, determination, perseverance and courage can help people achieve their dreams.
