1987 SEMI-FINALISTS AND THEIR LITTLE SISTERS



Miss Universe 1987


*1987* Surprising Singapore was the venue. The scene for the evening gown competition was an Oriental moon gate surrounded by the Singaporean Little Sisters. Bob Barker (in his last year as emcee) introduced this year's sisters by proclaiming one of them may grow up to become Miss Universe 2000. A star WAS born that night: the Little Sisters anthem, "You Are My Star", which became such a long-standing tradition until 1994. Years later, almost anyone who has heard this strikingly poignant melody will instantly recognize it as the song lauding the 'celestial' qualities of Miss Universe contestants.


The gowns this year were so 1980's funky/psychedelic. Wearing a glove-fitting "Chinese red" tunic, Miss Italy was the first semi-finalist to pass through the moon gate. The exotic lady who followed in a raven-black strapless with black opera gloves was Miss Philippines. Miss Venezuela and Miss Sweden imitated each other by modeling high-necked pink gowns with overstated pink ruffles at the bottom. Miss Peru 'took the cake' with a strapless which seemed to be molded out of a teal-colored aluminum foil!! Miss USA's selection was a traditional princess gown in violet. The host delegate, Miss Singapore, also wore a princess gown in a scarlet color, and the bust was enveloped by a trellis of black lacework. Miss Chile's white strapless was beautiful with a long, flowing train. The Universal crown, which would soon sit on her head, could have been effortlessly substituted by a bridal veil. To end on a completely bridal note, the flowers at the 1987 contest were bouquets of purple, pink, and fuchsia orchids.
