The final chapter in the highly publicized pageant came to an end at the Bluma Appel Theatre in downtown Toronto late Saturday night.
Sahar Biniaz (26) from Vancouver, B C has been crowned the 2012 Miss Universe Canada during the finale of the annual pageant held in Toronto on 19 May, 2012.
Born in India and raised in Iran, Sahar later became a Canadian citizen living in Vancouver. She graduated with honors from Stella Adler Academy in Los Angeles in performing arts. Currently she is working as an actress in film and television.
Sahar will now represent Canada at the 2012 Miss Universe competition to be held in mid-December.
Jenna Talackova, the woman who made headlines as a transgender contestant for the Miss Universe Canada pageant who was first disqualified for being transgender and was reinstated after public outcry, had a pretty good showing at the 2012 pageant.
Talackova first advanced to the Top 20, who then all competed in the swimwear competition. Following that portion of the pageant, Talackova advanced to the Top 12 finalists.
The Top 12 got to compete in the evening gown competition, where Jenna really strutted her stuff in a white gown with a plunging back. Unfortunately, when the Top 5 were announced, Talackova was not among them.
However, for a woman who just a few months ago was disqualified, finishing in the Top 12 has to feel pretty good.
Among the 12 semi-finalists selected during the event, Adwoa Yamoah from Calgary was the 1st runner-up while Majd Soudi from Ottawa was the 2nd runner-up.
Apart from this, the Miss Photogenic award was given to Ela Mino; Revlon Professional Best Hair was given to Sahar Biniaz while the Miss Congeniality award was a 4-way tie given to Jenna Talackova, Kylee Apers, Maria Julia Nahri and Maria Cecilia Nicolas.
Congratulations to Ms. Talackova and all the women at the Miss Universe Canada pageant.
