The Miss Universe candidates have all arrived in the wonderful country of Moscow, Russia where they will be battling to win the title and the crown of Miss Universe 2013.

The best part about having about 87 beautiful women in one place is that you would see who has got what it takes to stand out among all these women and the welcome dinner is exactly the place where these women would showcase their style, congeniality and culture.

The candidates all wore evening gowns that they felt had style and enjoyed themselves while mingling with the other contestants.

So who were the top 5 candidates that stood out at this year's Welcome Dinner?

Miss Ukraine, Olga Storozhenko certainly did. The 22-year-old wore a simple gown with fur and had the look of a sultry siren at the welcome dinner.

Miss France, Hinarani de Longeaux looked completely chic in a side bun wearing a lovely midnight blue gown. She looked lovely and relaxed at the welcome dinner.

The other candidates danced while at the welcome dinner and another stand out was Miss Israel, Yityish Aynaw, who enjoyed the night with her fellow contestants and seemed to look superb in her white evening gown. She had a great time laughing with the other contestants at the welcome dinner.

Miss Russia, Elmira Abradazakova, too seemed lovely at the welcome dinner and partied with the other candidates; she wore a lovely beige gown with black lace and looked every bit as lovely.

Miss USA, Erin Brady looked lovely in a white evening gown as well as she mingled with the other candidates making it hard to really know who stood out at the welcome dinner.

Don't forget to tune in for the 62nd Miss Universe pageant on November 9 to be held at the Crocus Hall in Moscow, Russia.
