The preliminary competition marks the first time all of the contestants are on stage competing in three catergories: swimsuit, evening gown and interview.
It’s an important round for the Miss Universe hopefuls as it determines who makes the Top 15 which is revealed live at the final on January 25th.

However the odds aren’t in the AR model’s favour as she is being touted as an outsider in the competition.
With odds at 50:1, it doesn’t look likely that the beautiful brunette will take the crown according to NicerOdds.co.uk.
Bookmakers are pairing Miss Columbia and Miss USA as favourite to win the glamorous pageant.

Though bookies may not be confident in the former Britain and Ireland Next Top Model contestant, Lisa has been getting stuck into pageant duties since arriving in the US earlier this month.
The third-year dentistry student has been making waves during her time attending photoshoots, events and charity auctions.
Miss Universe final takes place this Sunday in Doral-Miami.
