As the sun slowly sets on the year 2014, here is a look at some of the best gowns that we got to see this year at Pageants. Just a general observation, the contestants were styled much better in their local/national pageants than in international ones. We have short-listed our 5 favorite gowns from this year and 3 of them are from National Pageant, one is from a Sub Contest at Miss World & other was worn at the Miss World Finale.

Miss Florida Brittany wore one of the most beautiful gowns during the Miss USA finale. This nude bugle beaded, heavily sequined  gown looked divine on stage as she sashed down the stage in her side swept hair, she looked like a Hollywood Diva.
