Kenya’s representative at this year’s Miss World competition has made it to the top 15, ahead of the final on Saturday.
Ms Natasha Meto, 20, who clinched this year’s Miss Kenya title to proceed to the Miss World Kenya competition in Sanya, China was in a field of 119 beauties from different parts of the world.
In its 60th edition, the event will be held at the Beauty Crown Theatre, which was specially constructed to host the 2003 final.
The contestants flew to China early this month to prepare for the event whose theme is ‘Beauty with a Purpose’.
The contestants will compete in different fields from gracing the catwalk to showcasing their talents and other projects they have been undertaking.
This is not the first time Kenya has participated in this prestigious event. Previous participants, however, have never made it to the top five.
Among the most famous Kenyan contestants who did well at the finals are Ms Yolanda Masinde in 2000 and Ms Cecilia Mwangi in 2005.
Although they did not bring the crown home, they have used their crowns to enrich the society in different ways.
Ms Masinde is a teacher while Ms Mwangi is an IT professional and the face of the anti-jigger campaign.
