What happened to Ada Aimee de la Cruz, Miss Dominican Republic Universe?

Ada Aimee de la Cruz who represented Dominican Republic in Miss World 2007 and Miss Universe 2009 was the envy of many girls around the globe because of her sexy body. She proved the whole world that she had the best body when she won the title of Miss World 2007 Beach Beauty in Sanya, China. She made the Top 15 of the said pageant.


Also in Miss Universe in August last year in Bahamas, she cemented her reputation as one of the sexiest when she ended a runner-up of the eventual winner, Stefania Fernandez of Venezuela.

But five months after the pageant, Ada is now a picture of a different woman. She obviously gained weight. She lost her sexiness.

Most beauty queens gain weight after their reign especially when there are no major international pageant crowns on their heads. This is because they are not pressured.

This is Miss Dominican Republic 2009 now.

Also read this post on Perla Beltran, Miss World 2009 1st runner-up from Mexico, who is obviously following Ada's footstep. The Mexican beauty queen is also gaining weight.

Let's continue with our coverage with the ongoing Miss World Brazil 2009. I mentioned in this blog entry that the Miss World Brazil obviously copied their pageant format to the Miss World's for having fast-track events, five all in all, to determine five of their semi-finalists.

Miss Sports and Miss Talent were held last Monday and Tuesday (June 29 and July) with Miss Ilha do Campeche, Anelise Laulau, winning the former and Miss Pernambuco, Karine Barros, winning the latter.

Last July 2, the Beach Beauty contest was concluded and the winner was Mariana Notarangelo of Rio de Janeiro. Mariana just became the third semi-finalist.

First Runner-Up went to Jocasta Costa of São Paulo and the Second Runner-Up was Livia Nepomuceno of Distrito Federal.

The other finalists who made up the Top 5 were Jordana Sidô of Marajó and Karine Osório of Acre.

The winner of this pageant will be declared on Sunday, July 5, 2009. She will represent Brazil at the Miss World 2009 pageant in Johannesburg, South Africa and London in December.

Former Miss World Bet, Ada de la Cruz Wins Miss Dominican Republic Universe 2009

Ada Aimee de la Cruz (23) won the Miss Dominican Republic pageant held in Santo Domingo on Sunday, May 16th. The 1.83 m professional model will represent her country at the Miss Universe 2009 pageant in the Bahamas next August. She was crowned by last year's titleholder (and 2nd runner-up in Miss Universe) Marianne Cruz.

The 1st runner-up was Miss Monte Plata, Ana Rita Contreras, and the 2nd runner-up was Miss Distrito Nacional, Rocio Castellanos. The contestants from San Cristobal, Santiago and Duarte completed the Top 6 finalists.

Ada de la Cruz is no stranger to the pageant scene. She competed in the Miss Dominican Rep. Universe pageant in 2007, where she reached a Top 10 spot. Afterwards she competed and won the Miss Mundo Dominicana contest, which gave her the right to represent her country at the Miss World 2007 pageant in Sanya, China.

While in Miss World, Ada won the coveted Beach Beauty title and was among the Top 15 semi finalists. She also broke a record with the bookmakers, getting a top spot in all of them until she was tied by Miss China, the eventual winner.

Two years later she returned to the pageant scene, and very strongly. She could easily become the Dominican Republic's second Miss Universe titleholder (Amelia Vega won in 2003).
