Many countries are taking seriously all possible moves to win the Miss Universe crown. It has become a thing of the past where candidates from South America would win the title. Delegates from Latin countries such as Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Mexico and Brazil are usually crowd favorites.

This year the Miss Universe pageant will be held in the wonderful Crocus Hall in Moscow, Russia. Around 87 delegates all over the world will complete for the title of Miss Universe 2013.

Throughout the years, the Miss Universe pageant has celebrated its most beautiful women by crowning the best of them all. Pageant experts say the Miss Universe pageant is one of the most renowned and coveted titles in the world. What does it take to be Miss Universe?

Crowd favorites usually make it to the top 15, then trimmed to top 10. Then a final step closer will be the top 5 candidates. What do these women have to do to win the crown other than being physically perfect and intelligent?

Beauty, brains and confidence are the likely things that would be needed to get the crown. These women are trained and have spectacular personalities that no other candidate has. There are so many things they have to do like being strict in their diet and always being prim and proper. If you think it's easy to become a beauty queen, trying walking around with a smile plastered on your face every day with heels and ensure that you always look beautiful with and without make up. Imagine getting up really early for press conferences and photo shoots. It's not easy but these women do them like they were meant to.
