Miss Colombia Catalina Robayo was wearing a short orange dress which failed to cover up her privates. It seems the contestants are finding it extremely difficult to score points with judges through conventional route.
These pictures were published by a local newspaper in Sao Paulo which took photos of the event – and the crotch shot photo was reportedly on the front paper of the newspaper. Robayo had on a short bright coral dress and was sitting down – and didn’t have her legs crossed like she should have.
The Miss Universe officials have expressed their displeasure and discomfort with these pictures. According to highly placed sources in the pageant, “Colombia had to be spoken to and told she needed to wear underpants as what she was doing was totally inappropriate.” The Source further added, “People have been pretty upset by it; there have been photos and media appearances where she has completely had her crotch out.”
While reacting to the incident President of the Miss Universe Organization, Paula Shugart said, “There were several girls in short dresses which is was a little concerning, but when I saw the (commando) picture on the front page of one of the local papers and was very, very surprised,” Shugart said. “Our supervisors talked to all of the contestants about dressing appropriately, and one of our PR people spoke to her (Robayo) and apparently she said she was wearing underwear. But regardless, it created quite a stir here for a few days.”
