Charlene Leslie was crowned as Miss Universe Aruba 2016 during the conclusion of Miss Aruba 2016. The finale was held at the Ballroom of Hilton Aruba. Charlene Leslie succeeds Alysha Boekhoudt as the new Miss Universe Aruba. She will now compete in Miss Universe 2016 later this year in Philippines.

Interestingly, only 3 girls competed at Miss Aruba this year and all 3 came out as a winner, so apparently all 3 knew that each one of them were going home with one crown at least. Lynette Dos Nascimento was crowned as Miss World Aruba 2016 and Chimay Ramos was crowned as Miss Grand International Aruba 2016.  Charlene works as a dietician currently. She is 23 years old and stands 6 ft tall.

The esteemed panel of jury included Fransisco Andara- Photographer, Leanne Marshall – Winner of Project Runway 5, Sandro Guzman – President of ‘Ossygeno Models’, Jaime Arrango – Well known international Colombian designer, Zizi Lee and Alexandra Ochoa/

Elizabeth Claros – Founder of Ellie Productions and content manager of Global Fashion Channel.

Chances of Charlene Leslie at Miss Universe 2016

The major plus point of Charlene is her towering height of 6 feet. Her body is also pretty much well toned and has exotic facial features. We would love to see her placing in finale but what bothers us the most is the weak sash of Aruba at Miss Universe. We just hope that Miss Universe Organisation ignores the sash factor for Aruba as they have a strong delegate this year.
