Our reigning Mrs. Malaysia Universe Carol Lee, 39, made it into the books as the first Malaysian to win the coveted Mrs Universe international pageant. She was crowned Mrs. Universe at the World Finals in the Carribeans recently.
Lee, who’s a talk show host and former news presenter beat 32 other contestants worldwide, securing more than 88,000 votes from fans. She beat Mrs America Amanda Grad by a narrow margin.
Lee also won the Mrs. Popularity subsidiary title too. Lee’s clothes for the pageant were by Malaysian designer Carven Ong, who had won the Asian Top Designer of the Year in 2009.
The Mrs Universe title is said to be a recognition of “the most honourable married woman”, and is awarded to women aged between 25 and 45, taking into account family and career as well as involvement in a significant cause in favour of others.
Congratulations Mrs Lee!
