Yesterday was a beautiful and spectacular Balinese cultural show by Balinese production showcasing the rich culture and heritage of Bali. Thank you, Indonesia for making all the delegates look like goddesses in the traditional Balinese costume. Look forward to watching the grand final night of Miss Grand International 2022 in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Before the swimsuit competition started, all the delegates modeled the colorful and vibrant Scarf by Sroja which is designed and manufactured in Indonesia. In this video, I will talk about the Top 20 delegates who stand out during today’s swimsuit competition which was held on the sunny beach of Bali, Indonesia. We saw all the girls wear stunning golden swimsuits as they modeled in front of the breathtaking view. I love the diverse range of swimsuit designs to compliment each girl’s body type and skin tone to highlight them in this round.

Team Asia Pacific
Team Europe
Team Africa
For improvements, I noticed one of the cameras had some black spots on the sides and it was distracting when the girls first started walking. I hope they check the camera lenses for the next round for the audience to get a smooth viewing experience. Except for that everything else was wonderful and I had a great viewing experience as an audience. These were my Top 20 Best in Swimsuit at Miss Grand International 2022. Let me know in the comment section, who are your favorites.
